Points from Lasso for Panathinaikos: “A Greek friend told me they win a lot with referee Difalas”

He will face tomorrow (17/01/25, 21:30, NovaSports Prime, Live from Newsit.gr) the 22nd Euroleague race and Pablo Lasso left… spikes for the arbitration of the race. Lasso had complaints from the referees and Baskonia’s game with Olympiacos, while Panathinaikos stressed that he is winning many games with the French referee, Medi Difalas, who has also been set at the two teams’ game in Vitoria. CORVERSE Lasso’s statements About Howard: “It’s good news about Marcus Howard’s return. I beat the crap out of him and hope he plays tomorrow. I am not saying for sure that he will fight, but that is what the signs show.” For the arbitration with Olympiacos: “Moneke’s phase is a basket. It’s the referee’s fault. There’s no further explanation. And there are others, like Baldwin’s fifth foul.” For the definition of Difalas in the game with Panathinaikos: “I have a Greek friend who told me that he is very referee and win many games with him. But I don’t know how much. I’ll look into it.” For Panathinaikos: “The exchange of baskets with Panathinaikos is difficult. We’re talking about a very talented group. We need to look for weak points. We have to play well as a team. We need to release the ball. We need to defend ourselves as a team. Because it’s a team with so many guns that even if we stop Kendrick Nan, anyone else can go up.”
