Easily against Ikaros

GIORGOS BATZOKAS: “This game has been especially useful for us. We wanted for the guys that don’t get many minutes to find rhythm. Just like Law, Gecevicius and Mavroeidis. We respected the fans that paid to see the game, ourselves and the opponents. I wish to coach Dimitris all the best for the future. We continue our work and we are going to draw some conclusions from this game”.
About Dorsey “We are searching the market for a replacement; I don’t have anything bad to say about Joey. His perspective was different, I explained that to him, but we don’t see to go any further into this. Whoever wants and takes the pressure, plays for Olympiacos. We are investigating the market; we are going to make a move without any haste. We have found some interesting cases up to now, we are looking for athleticism and rebounding. What we first of all want is a solid person and then give what the team needs”.
Dimitris Mavroeidis: “We wanted to play a good game tonight, contrary to the one we played on Thursday against Zalgiris Kaunas. We started well, played well especially in defense and I think that for a big part of the game we played good basketball and offered a show. We all need to give something more to fill in for Dorsey. We don’t stay on names. Olympiacos has many players that can all contribute”.
