The The word crisis is used frequently and in basketball the truth is that it should be taken with a grain of salt. The end of the course matters more than anything else. The first months, except for the Cup or Super Cup finals, are about gaining the home court factor and establishing dynamics. From that perspective, it cannot be said that Barcelona’s situation is ideal. They only win one game in the last five (to Partizán 94-76), losing with Baskonia and Breogán in the Endesa League, and two consecutive defeats in Europe that complicate everything. Ante Fenerbahçe (88-74) y Panathinaikos (89-81).
Panathinaikos 89-81 Barcelona: Barça falls apart in Athens
There are clear causes. Except for the clash against Breogán because Roger Grimau decided to rotate, the double week pointed to the management of the matches. It started fatal against Fenerbahçe and after almost coming back, the last quarter dynamited their dream. The dynamics changed at OAKA (24-40, 16′), but Panathinaikos invented a second half of scandal. Something happens.
Although from the locker room they do not look inward, but instead send a bitter message to the referees. Álex Abrines, one of his captains, was very hard in the OAKA locker room. “They have no respect for us. We have been second almost the entire season and it happens to us. The game changes when Ataman’s technique is whistled. They start to inflate us, the refereeing criteria changes and they punish us to us instead of them,” he said.
They start to blow us up and the game changes

Parker fights with Mitoglou for a rebound.
The truth is that Sloukas and Mitoglou change the physical level, but Abrines goes further. “It’s not just this game. It happens to us every week,” he added. And the case of Ricky Rubio stands out. “They have had no respect for Ricky Rubio. I’m not talking about someone who is 18 years old and comes up from B. They don’t give Ricky anything and to PAO yes to minimal contact. I don’t want to think that there is a campaign against Barça, but there is something. We lived it throughout the season and it’s fine now,” he claimed.
And next week to another game and to continue earning

A brutal complaint. “They have let us compete, we are fed up. Something has to change. It cannot be that the referees make mistakes, go home and nothing has happened. And next week we’ll go to another game and continue getting paid,” he concluded.
