La Nazione HE’S ALWAYS been a symbol, the captain. The one that bends but never breaks, and has survived so much in Siena using his charisma and determination. Tomas Ress, however, has his eyes lowered as he exits the court. His face shows more than just disappointment, anger and frustration. More than anything, he knows […]

La Nazione “Sincere congratulations to Milano, but I think there’s a team that can truly feel like they won this season, and that’s Siena.”  It’s a Marco Crespi that’s heartbroken but determined, a true fighter that left the title finals challenge defeated but head held high  In mind, he’s got vivid memories of the three […]

La Nazione THE FINAL basket from Jerrels took away the opportunity to go into overtime and play another five, highly intense minutes, in hopes of closing out the season in triumph. But disappointment about how it ended should not and cannot erase the extraordinary emotions of an unforgettable night, made so in part by the warmth […]

La Nazione VIGGIANO 6 Not a lot of minutes spent on court for Brindisi’s ex player, but his presence is still precious. HUNTER 8.5 Scores his team’s first eight points and immediately after shows off with a huge block on Samuels. Not satisfied, he transforms Janning’s assist into a dunk. That’s how he starts. During […]

La Nazione NOW MORE than ever it’s time to rally around this team that, despite the first two losses at the Forum,  are going to try to beat every prediction, to get back in the series in order make it to Saturday to play for the chances of returning to Milano on Monday night. Sure […]

La Nazione VIGGIANO 4.5: very nervous, has a rather long physical duel with Samuels where he even gets called on a technical. However, he uses up a lot of precious mental energy because he closes out with 2/8 at shooting (his is the game’s last basket) and struggles unduly with Gentile on defense. HUNTER 5: the only […]
