Second place. That’s a victory for now

For the most time we did what we planned to do. You should not expect us to build our advantage to grow permanently every game, because the level of the league is very high. At the same time I am satisfied with two games we played recently. The team improved, it showed the aggression, players from the bench added some good energy. We ended the regular championship on the second place in it calls for dual feelings. We could have win more games and fight for the first place in my CSKA period. But you should remember how many problems the team had. If it had no problems I would not be here. Now we have to meet Samara once again. When you used to play the same team, everything can happen, and I think the opponents did not show their best basketball tonight. I hope that our best players will show their best game in the playoffs and that will give us an advantage.
