NBA Europe Live post-game quotes: Lottomatica 83-97 Toronto
|
|
Toronto Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell:
"I know they are a good European team, with
also five excellent shooters at the same time and playing well the pick and
roll, so we made good percentages on shooting and everybody scored, even some unexpectedly. It was a real match, they went up by seven points, we expected this guys
playing hard and we are in the training camp so we're not in our best
physical condition, and I think I'm satisfied with our performnce."
Toronto Raptors center Andrea Bargnani:
"We didn't play a good game, and was not nice to watch for
the fans. We're just at our second pre-season game, but we're improving game
by game."
Lottomatica Roma head coach Jasmin Repesa:
"I was scared because I had a short
team with just eight players, we didn't have injuries and this was very
important. We played a good game, doing probably our best at this moment. We
have also a slim margin of advantage and we have also to coach our attitude
to win games, and we did it tonight."
Lottomatica Roma guard Allan Ray:
"It was a great experience for everybody,
team and fans. I think we still have a lot of adjustments to do but we played
tough and stayed in the match until the end and that can give us a lot of
confidence."
Lottomatica Roma forward Christian Drejer:
"We tried to do our best and
also we were confident to win the game, but play against Chris Bosh, TJ Ford
and the best European players of the last seasons wasn't easy, but I think
we have a lot of things to work on but this game could push us in the right way."
