Dejan Radonjić, Crvena zvezda mts head coach: “We have a huge respect for Igokea and we are completely focused on Game 1 on Monday. Igokea are having a great season. They have been playing on a top level constantly during the season and I want to use this opportunity to congratulate my colleague Dragan Bajić on winning the ABA League Coach of the Year award. He has truly done a great job. We have played two games against Igokea this season. In the first one in Laktaši, Igokea have totally outplayed us, while in the second one in Belgrade we managed to seize a narrow win. That game in Belgrade has showed us how Igokea can be a dangarous opponent on the road. We know it won't be easy, but we will do our best to defend our home court.
Branko Lazić, Crvena zvezda mts player: “First of all, I am glad that we have fulfilled one of our goals and that is to finish the regular season at the 1st place. Now, we are completely focused on our series against Igokea. I want to say that Igokea fully deserved to qualify for the Playoffs as they have been playing on top level throughout the whole season. It will be a tough game on Monday and we will do our best to win it and therefore make the first step toward the Finals.”
