Ergin Ataman, Panathinaikos: 'I am still confident we will make it'
Oded Kattash, Maccabi head coach
"For us the most important thing is we can’t think about Game 5. We have to come with the right attitude and learn the lesson from Game 2. We have to come out with the same energy. It’s going to be really aggressive, and we have to be ready for 40 minutes to do something really big. We are excited."
Ergin Ataman, Panathinaikos head coach
"We will play our game. Of course, Baldwin is a very good player and it would be very good for them if he played. After these three games I am still confident we will make it. I think we played better basketball in the first two games and we lost one of them in the final play. In Game 3 I think Maccabi played much better than us, we did not deserve to win but we had the possession after everything had been wrong for us. We made a mistake and we lost. But I have a lot of confidence in my team, they showed great character all season. I am expcting better performances from players who have not shown up yet despite playing great during the season."
Roman Sorkin, Maccabi player
"They will come out more aggressive, they want to win this game just as much as we do. We need to prepare for a physical game. We have to stay focused and remain hungry as if we are not leading the series. We are waiting to see our fans once again."
Josh Nebo, Maccabi player
"Tomorrow is a new day, it’s a new game. Everything we did yesterday doesn’t matter for tomorrow. We have to watch film and get ready mentally for a difficult game. I feel like we have a very well balanced team - we can either win with our guards or win inside. Everyone has to stay ready and we will give our best shot."
Jerian Grant, Panathinaikos player
"We have to play with more grit. We have to be more physical and bring the fight to them. We have a team that will fight and give it all. It's a one-game season for us now. Everybody is focused on that game."
