He smiles a lot, talks less, while he rarely dismisses his poker face during the game, even while 'executing' his opponents in cold blood. Tyler Dorsey narrates the story of his life through We Are Olympiacos and allows us to get to know him a little bit better…

Giorgos Bartzokas was satisfied by his players’ performance and the victory over Peristeri.

Olympiacos bested Peristeri 93-67 on the road, for the 6^th day of the Stoiximan Basket League and remains undefeated in the Greek League.  

The coach of Olympiacos, Giorgos Bartzokas determined defense to have been the key to the victory over Monaco.

Olympiacos bested Monaco 86-65 for the 8^th round of the Euroleague and maintained his home court intact.

Quincy Acy appeared to be determined to help Olympiacos celebrate titles, talking to olympiacosbc.gr a few hours before arriving to Greece.

With the support of the fans and by staying focused on defense, Olympiacos will be able, according to Shaquielle McKissic, to get victory in tomorrow’s (05/11, 20.00 CET) game against Monaco.

Olympiacos will be hosting Monaco tomorrow at the SEF (5/11, 20.00 CET) aiming to maintain his home court intact.

Olympiacos BC announces the signing of Quincy Acy. The American forward/center will be playing in the ‘reds’ jersey through the end of the 2022-23 season.

Mustapha Fall is unstoppable on as well as off courts, since he now drives the Kia Sportage.

Following the game against Fenerbahce, Giorgos Bartzokas contemplated on the incredible atmosphere the ‘reds’ fans created.

Olympiacos edged Fenerbahce 67-65 for the 7^th round of the Euroleague and maintained his unbeaten record in his home court during this season.

Olympiacos wants to remain undefeated in his home court against Fenerbahce (28/10, 20.00 CET), a feat that according to captain Giorgos Printezis is also due to the powerful presence of the ‘reds’ fans.

“Up until now our fans and our home court have helped us very much. We have made a good start. Tomorrow we play the fourth game in six days. Fenerbahce is a very good team, with lots of talent. They are coming from a loss at the last second so they are definitely going to be determined. We need to leave fatigue behind, play a good game and limit the strong facets of our opponent, fast-break being among them”, the veteran forward commented.

Asked if the presence of Pierria Henry and Nando De Colo is going to be the key to the game, he replied: “They are a very talented team with a deep roster. I’m not going to focus on any individual player. I’m only going to say that we need to play as a team on both ends of the court. This is the most important factor so that you are able to beat teams like Fener”.

About what changed this year compared to last season and now that the SEF is once again one of the toughest home courts, he commented: “First of all, the fans are now by our side and give us positive energy. I mean that. Last season it became tiresome for all, players, coaches, playing in front of empty seats. Yesterday it was a game we needed to win. We had given indications in the past that we weren’t being serious. I don’t think that something has changed mentally wise, we are simply a better team, we have better chemistry and we can win these games easier”.

Finally, about the fact that against Alba he got to crush the 3,500 point barrier with the Euroleague, something that only another three players have achieved – Vassilis Spanoulis, Juan Carlos Navarro and Nando De Colo – he said: “It makes no difference to me. It’s good that I have achieved whatever it is that I have achieved with my team. That’s it”.

 Olympiacos has left the victory over Alba Berlin behind and has solely focused on tomorrow’s game against Fenerbahce (28/10, 20.00 CET) at the SEF. The goal is to win both games in the double game Euroleague week and to achieve that goal, according to coach Giorgos Bartzokas, the ‘reds’ should play hard defense.

The coach of Olympiacos, Giorgos Bartzokas, emphasized the importance of the victory over Alba Berlin, as well as the imperative need for his players to solely focus on the game against Fenerbahce (28/10, 20.00).

Olympiacos edged Alba Berlin 87-83, remains unbeaten in its home court and is now solely focusing on the Thursday game (28/10, 20.00 CET) against Fenerbahce at the SEF.

Alba Berlin is a difficult opponent, however, like Michalis Lountzis stressed, an important factor in tomorrow’s game (26/10, 20.00 CET), will be the presence of the ‘reds’ fans.

Olympiacos is determined to maintain his home court intact through tomorrow’s game (26/10, 20.00 CET) against Alba Berlin.
