Hey guys. Thought you might be Interested to hear David Blatt giving an Interview to the Israeli press while the All Star was happening in the states. I didn't sleep for 2 days and my English isn't that good anyways so please bare with me. Also, I did cut some bs talking that I didn't find important.
Q: You are on a great streak. 5th in the East, the team looks great and the fans reacts well
(he also notes the fuzz going on in Israel about Cle). How much does it make you happy seeing your basketball on the court?
A: We started ok, then we got on a tough stretch missing LeBron for 8-10 games. We made some necessary changes to the roster, and by the time that everyone got together (including LeBron) we found our way. You can say we found each other, and this changes gives many hopes for the future to come.
Q: Was the criticism by the press hard for you to take? or are you that exp with those kind of things?
A: (Smiles) - I think I am exp enough in those fields. Listen - Its part of the business, I was never intimidated by it.
Q: Both Kyrie and LeBron praised you in the interviews we did with them in NY (Mostly warm words by Kyire) What do you think about that?
A: The most important thing LeBron said was in the end, that he believes in our skill to achieve accomplishments. I hope its gonna be this year, and if not then next year. It takes time to build a winning team, in the NBA, or anywhere else. We have very skilled and talented personal and we are working great together.
The Interview continued with some All Starr BS and Maccabi Basketball. If anyone here want to work on their Hebrew you are more then welcome. Cheers:
