BARTZOKAS: It was the first game of the season for us, just like it was for Apollo. We wanted to give minutes in a game not suitable for any conclusive criticism, since it was just part of pre-season training on the mountain and that’s how we dealt with it.
* Vangelis Mantzaris did not play for precautionary reasons (quadruple muscle strain).
* Apollo Patron played without Nikos Argyropoulos who suffers a sprain.
* Olympiacos captain Vassilis Spanoulis will not be playing the Friday friendly, since will be traveling to Istanbul to participate in the filming of a Euroleague promotional spot.
