Priftis: “We have exhausted all possibilities”

Panathinaikos OPAP lost the game to Armani Milano in a defense with Dimitris Priftis standing on the lost defensive rebounds that cost his team.

The Clover coach first explained: “I don’t have much to say, just congratulations to the players. They fought tonight. Despite the objective difficulties, they did not give up and had the opportunity to win“and continued after asking what he thought of the game with Armani Milano:

“Undoubtedly there are many things that we keep, most notably the fact that we had the power and we fought against it. We exhausted every chance, of course with our mistakes. The children made an effort, they fought. There are many areas of the game that we need to fix. The last few weeks have been difficult for us, yesterday we had a brace in training. Obviously we lack the “ace” in the game, the absence of Stefan Jovic is important. Of course Ioannis Papapetrou’s.

The shot is an important factor in these games, a shot taken or not taken determines a lot about the outcome of the game. Especially at the end, a shot can give you a boost. But that’s the game. What’s a problem for us to solve is that the defensive rebound problem is costing us a lot. Especially in the first half we got three threes from a rebound that we didn’t get“.

Finally, when asked about Daryl Macon: “He’s trying, it’s a bit difficult to manage some things. He was between “1” and “2” after we moved him a bit because Stefan Jovic came. Now we gave the ace more time again. He’s a strong personality, and that translates to his game. Today he tried very hard in defence, we’ll keep that. He finds the rest along the way. Especially in the area of ​​spiritual readiness, he has a lot to settle in the future“.
