PRE-GAME QUOTES

Georgios Bartzokas, BC Khimki head coach:

“My expectation is to win the game which is not easy as Zenit is a quality team with coach's philosophy. The coach has been for many years within the club. Everybody's trying to adjust to his philosophy. Although they have a lot of newcomers, we are talking about the players who played in the EuroLeague last year like Laprovittola and Simonovic; also they have big talent in players like Harper, Karasev and Gordon. So, we don't expect anything but a tough game. Honeycutt is going to start practicing with the team. I don't think it's gonna be a long-way process, but also, not for two or three days as he was our for more than two months. That means he will need 15-20 days to get to the game shape again”.
