This is how Coach Peppe Poeta commented on the match played against Zalgiris Kaunas: “I’m very disappointed, because this time too we played three excellent quarters and then in the last five minutes we ruined everything, we weren’t lucid and precise enough. I complimented the boys for their commitment, for how they fought until the end, and I apologized because a small piece of this defeat is mine: I’m still not respected enough by the referees as a rookie. Let’s be clear, it’s not the reason why we lost. Lorenzo Brown played seven minutes, but it was a technical choice. Armoni Brooks played for a month and half sensational and it’s normal that he has a decline now. We’re all preparing for him and it’s a good sign because we can see that he has status. We’re hoping that the team has obvious structural defects, but as we’ve done so many times, we can overcome it with enthusiasm, commitment and work we’ll do it again.”
