Igor Kokoskov: They are a veteran team with veteran players playing the right way. A really deep roster, one of the best offensive teams in the league and very well coached. They are not selfish and that will be a great challenge for our defense. They are also aggressive in defense so we must be aggressive also and show the toughness we need to match this team.
 
Ali Muhammed: We expect it to be a tough game. Valencia is a pretty good team. They won a couple of their last games and we come from a couple losses in the EuroLeague. Now we are back home and we want to play aggressively in defense and try to get it to lead our offense so we get the points to win the game.
