Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
— Montepaschi is a Euroleague team of high level. We remember our last season matches in the Top 16 of Euroleague, in a very interesting game in Siena we lost, but at home we won. Despite of changes in roster, Siena is a good team and has ambitions. As for us, we are in good shape, we have done a good job during the break between games.
