Josh Owens, Tashawn Thomas and Hapoel Jerusalem coach Oded Katash all looked back on the season that was:<\/p>\n

Josh Owens<\/strong> spoke about the season that was:
\n\u201cIt\u2019s mostly just disappointment. It\u2019s still very fresh and it hasn\u2019t fully sunk in yet. More than anything disappointment is the word. We had high hopes for the Final Four and to come up short was very disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n

About the semifinal loss to Rishon:
\n\u201cThe third quarter was when we feel apart and couldn\u2019t string together enough momentum to excite the way we wanted to and put together a complete game to win. We could have played better defense and our pick and roll defense wasn\u2019t executed as well as it should have been and they took advantage of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

His time in Jerusalem to date:
\n\u201cI really enjoyed my experience here and I love the team, staff and organization. We were able to take the State Cup and made it to the Final 8 of the Champions League and the League Final Four.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next season:
\n\u201cWe haven\u2019t even begun to talk about that yet.\u201d
\n

\nTashawn Thomas<\/strong> also looked back on the campaign:
\n\u201cIt\u2019s so surreal to me and I can\u2019t believe the season is over.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next season:
\n\u201cAs of now I\u2019m coming back but I\u2019m going to listen to see if there is other interest anywhere, but as of now I\u2019m coming back here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The loss to Rishon:
\n\u201cWe could have focused on him a little more after his first quarter. He had a great game and a monster game. No one expected him to have that type of game and it was really big for him. Congratulations to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanking Jerusalem:
\n\u201cI played as hard as I can and wanted to make a statement. Jerusalem gave me an opportunity to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Will he stay or will he go?
\n\u201cAs of now ya, but I\u2019m listening to other teams and if something happens or if there is something better I might have to move on.\u201d
\n

\"\"<\/a>

Dov Halickman Photography<\/p><\/div>
\nLast but not least coach Oded Katash<\/strong> reflected on being knocked out of the Final Four:
\n\u201cI didn\u2019t sleep and I\u2019m still recovering, it\u2019s not simple as the whole season ended this way which was a surprise. This time it\u2019s super tough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leaving it all on the court:
\n\u201cYou can always look back and see what you could have done better and this season was extra special from the management to the last player; we all left it on the court and we did the maximum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Improving:
\n\u201cWe can always learn and we will continue to improve and build on the season as we are now smarter as well. We know where we need to improve and straighten ourselves. This also happened in the series against Tenerife.\u201d<\/p>\n

Killer instinct:
\n\u201cWe had a killer instinct during the season, perhaps not in every game but I don\u2019t think that any club has that all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Composition of the coaching staff for next season:
\n\u201cWe will have to see. Perhaps there may be some changes as we are taking about people\u2019s careers and I can\u2019t speak for everyone, however, we haven\u2019t thought about it yet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
