"I cannot hide from anybody. This game is a game nobody wants to play. We will try to play with the player who are more fresh because we have a challenge ahead of us in the domestic league, we play on Friday against Panathinaikos and that is really important. I don’t know how in one day you can overcome this kind of situation we face right now. It is not easy for human beings, even if they are professionals at this level. But we will do our best."

"Everything went wrong [in the semifinals]. We shot with bad percentages, we had turnovers, we did not have a lot of assists. But we have to give credit to Monaco, they were playing great defense. Without them playing that type of defense we would have probably done [many things] better. Our bad night, their good night, congrats to them. We cannot stay in the past, we have to look ahead. It is hard because some players have some issues, some players might be rested tomorrow. But, to be honest, the most important thing is to finish the [third-place] game healthy and to get ready for Friday. The big goal is the Greek League, we know how much that means to the fans."

"Everything went wrong. Everybody who watches basketball knows what happens. It’s exactly how Olympiacos doesn’t want to play basketball. How we played the whole season, to come out and have a performance like that in the semifinal leaves a pit in your stomach. We are going to play Panathinaikos a lot in the next couple of week, so hopefully we are going to try to set the tone tomorrow, and get a feel for it. But anytime you are on this stage, you have to remember how blessed you are to have this opportunities and be in these cool places and do these things. Hopefully we wake up tomorrow with a mindset of getting back to the routine of playing."

"It is not easy to recover and to play for the third and fourth place. But, we have to. So, we will play to win. But five days later we will have an important Greek League finals game against Olympiacos, so we also have to think about what is ahead for us."
