"I don't know why that question is always asked!" Saša Obradović on rotation and Butler: He has to live with it!

- The analysis provided some answers. We didn't communicate well defensively; they confused us completely. Compared to their previous coach, they've accelerated their play even more. It's about focus and good energy to control the first 10 seconds of their offense. And boxing out – these are two things everyone must do if we want to win, stated the Zvezda coach.

- We played solidly in Laktaši after the derby. That game needs to be behind us; we can't carry it into the next match. We're on the line now; this is truly a decisive game, and we need strong support from the fans. It's crucial to have a sixth man in the arena.

- We talked a bit; he's put pressure on himself. We need to help him with simple information, put him in comfortable situations. But he also has to make a decision he can live with, whether it's a miss or a make. That 'short memory' shouldn't last too long. You can't win a game with one or two players; the whole team needs to be present. Every shot now determines our fate; it's mentally tougher for us because of the situation we're in, Obradović admitted.

- I think everyone is talking about him. The guy looks unreal on the court, and whatever you do defensively, it's hard to stop him. Especially with those step-back shots. He's crucial not just for his high shooting percentage, but because his play frees up their centers, making it easier for them to rebound. He goes both left and right; the main goal is to make his perimeter shots as difficult as possible.

- I don't know why the question of short rotation is constantly brought up. Our key players play a lot, and we're actually thinking about how to extend minutes for others. I've explained this 'behind closed doors'; it's not that easy to explain in words... If someone were inside with us, in the process, it would be much clearer to them why it is this way.
