Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:

— I think the teams chances are fairly even. At this point we're in pretty good shape, and we're probably fresher. BC Khimki didn't play in London, while the VEF series was a lot easier than we expected. It's difficult to win a series against CSKA, but nothing's impossible. I don't want to talk about the entire series, however. At this point we're just focused on the next game, which will be played in Khimki on Saturday.
