Oded Kattash, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv head coach
"Everybody's excited for the first game to start the EuroLeague, and there is no easy game in the EuroLeague, especially not early in the season. I can't say that we are 100 percent prepared because the preparation period was short. We have to catch up with the process but we are really looking forward to the game, to feel the crowd and to see where we are. I mean, we are ready to start with a W."
Darrun Hilliard, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv player
"Zalgiris is a great team, always historically good. They play tough, play hard, so we have to be ready. I think it's a good test for us. I'm glad that the first game is at home in front of these beautiful fans. I'm excited, my family is excited. It should be a good show. I know Zalgiris, I know how they play and I know what they are made of. It's going to be a tough game, a physical game, and we just have to come ready to play."
