Chus Mateo: “I hope we get to the playoffs and Berlin in good shape”

Chus Mateo and Poirier gave their thoughts on the win over Baskonia on the final day of the Regular Season. The coach said: "It was a high-scoring game. You either accept the challenge with them or you don't and we've done well this year. I wish them all the best. We now have to turn our focus to the quarter-finals. This league is so competitive that any opponent is going to be difficult and I hope that on Wednesday our arena will be on fire and can take us to the next round. Berlin is very close and we don't want to make any mistakes".
"We have been sharing out minutes all year. The minutes also have to be measured in order to win. In the ideal situation, you don't want to overload your team throughout the year, but that's not always possible. My squad is very good and that allows me to rotate. I really hope we get to the quarter-finals of the league and Berlin in good shape because we still have a lot to contribute".

Poirier: "We want to win every trophy"
"It was an important win for our confidence and to get into a groove ahead of the playoffs and the Final Four. These games before Berlin are very useful for us to continue competing at the highest level. The first thing now is the quarter-finals of the league because we want to win as many trophies as possible".
Personal situation

"I'm here to win trophies. I'm doing well and the coach and my team-mates fill me confidence. It's a team effort. I want to carry on like this until the end of the season".
Words of kindness to Deck

"It's bad luck. We need him and we are going to get the trophies for him. He's part of the team and we're all going to fight for him".
