As he said: “This was not the basketball we want to play. We were not bad on defense until the last quarter, but we had problems in our offense. We have to be able to play good on the road. So far we can’t close the road games the right way”.
Still, Panathinaikos must recover as Calathes stated: “We need to stay together. We must show in every practice and every game which kind of team we are. This performance was unacceptable. We are better players and we are here for a reason. We must learn from this. We have to play better starting from the game against Madrid. I’ve seen it before. In 2011, when we got the title, we were not playing really good near the end of the season. As I said, we have a problem in closing the road games. I am also one of the causes. I’m the point guard and I don’t perform to the level I should. Since I’m the playmaker and the captain, I can play better, I need to improve myself and the team should do the same”.
