Talking after the game, head coach Andrea Trinchieri was happy with his team's performance but once again noted the difficulty of the schedule the German team currently faces.

"I've been watching millions, billions, zillions of games in this period with the idea to try and understand what's next, where basketball is going. The parameters now are the schedule [and] the personnel on the court more than the system," the coach said. "The system is for the teams that have 3-4 practices to prepare for the game."

"None of the teams in the EuroLeague have 1 practice to prepare for the game. The last practice for us was 15 days ago," Trinchieri explained. "We played every 48 hours in the last 14 days."

This wasn't the first time coach Trinchieri mentioned the lack of practices throughout recent days. For example, the specialist made an Allen Iverson-like remark about it after the game on Tuesday.

"Practice? Practice? What is practice? I don't know how it looks," he said two days ago. "Practice... Of course, I would like to help my team with practice. I cannot. It is what it is. Practice..."

Since the start of December, Bayern have already played 7 matches so far.
