Borislav Kurtovic, head coach of KB Peja: I think the teams are even

KB Peja is visiting BC Rilski Sportist tomorrow in first semifinal game in EUROHOLD Balkan League. Here is what the head coach of the team - Borislav Kurtovic, had to say one day before it:

"I must be honest - we have some problems with injuries. Last week we didn′t practice with complete roster and I hope that we′ll be prepared. Rilski is a good team that runs well and is athletic. They have new player - Rakocevic, who until now didn′t play against us but the other are together from the start of the season. It will not be easy but we′ll try to play the best we can.

Any team needs time to be together and to start to play better. Still we had problems with injuries and this is the reason that may be we are not at the level we are supposed to be before this important games. But it′s semifinal and even if you are not ready, in your mind you have to be. It′s very important game for us as a team and for basketball in Kosovo.

We come to win. I think the teams are even but may be now they are in little bit better form than us. I watched the game against Kumanovo and they played good at home and in Macedonia where is not easy. They lost in regular time by 12 but after that they showed character which is good. I hope that we′ll win but also if we lose I hope it will not be with big difference."
