Bartzokas: «We are going to be ready to win on Thursday» (vid)

Olympiacos lost the game and with it the home court advantage, but is determined to not give up the fight. 

"Nothing is unexpected in these games", the coach of the 'red & whites', Giorgos Bartzokas, commented and went on to day: "We obviously had a little more pressure than we should have had and made some mistakes, more in the defensive end rather than the offensive one. We went overboard with some decisions and did not stick to our plan. Of course, everything was against us, we shot two buzzer-beaters that did not go in. There were some strange calls at the ends. I cannot criticize them, but at the end of the regulation, when Barcelona was trying to put the ball back onto the court, when Satoransky had the ball in his hands, he committed a 5 seconds violation. It's clear that the ref is counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with his hand, but does not call the violation. Also, the last three point shot. As I said before, it's not our job to criticize the officiating, there are others responsible for doing that. But for someone who takes a shot and 'travels' in the air after the jump, is able to win a foul and determine the outcome, there are people with the authority to call it a good or a bad call. Congratulations to Barcelona. We have one more game here on Thursday. We are going to be ready to win it"
