Penjaroja furious at the press conference after the loss: We lose one game and everything's a disaster! /VIDEO/

First, I congratulate Budućnost; I believe they deserved to win this game. It's clear we didn't play a good game today in the usual aspects, especially with how we started the match with three fouls that led to free throws, then the next two fouls were "2+1" situations. You can't play a big game like that. We had three or four turnovers in the second quarter, not many, but they scored 22 points from those turnovers. We didn't control the defense well; in the first half, we had zero offensive rebounds. It was a bad game for us, but it's clear that Budućnost deserved the win. Đoan Penjaroja

It's not easy to play three games in a week. We respect the ABA League; Budućnost is a very good team. Today, we didn't deserve to win. But, in the ABA League, I think Partizan is playing consistently, seriously, with only one loss to Crvena Zvezda and now to Budućnost. That's a problem for us; we want to fight for the top spot, but now we need to rest and prepare for the next game. Đoan Penjaroja

No, that's not the problem. It's a different competition, different circumstances. Today, Budućnost played better than us. It's not easy to play three games in a week. But, we respect the ABA League a lot; we play very well in all ABA League games. Partizan has only lost two games. I think we're fighting well, but now is not the moment; the players are not at 100 percent. It's clear we weren't playing at 100 percent. This isn't our best basketball, but Budućnost played well. Budućnost deserved to win; I think we need to play better to secure a victory. Đoan Penjaroja

Since I arrived, the most important game for us is always the next one. We want to compete in the ABA League; we don't have options in the EuroLeague. Our mentality is to prepare for the next game every time. Now we want to prepare for Efes. This isn't the moment to think about the goal of winning the ABA League. The current goal is to play well, to prepare; I think today we didn't play at our usual level. Đoan Penjaroja

If we lose one game, everything is a disaster, and we have big problems. Today we didn't play well, that's clear to everyone, but it's not a catastrophe. Đoan Penjaroja
