Coach Oded Katash spoke about getting back into the swing of things, \u201cWe were missing a ball handler and we were a bit rusty but next week we will have Jeremy Pargo with us. We are trying to get back into shape and I believe other teams are in the same situation but we have time to get better and fix things up. It\u2019s not simple as we are missing two excellent players.\u201d Tamir Blatt also spoke about getting back to business, \u201cIt\u2019s always great to play and we haven\u2019t played for a number of months which is the most I think that I haven\u2019t played.

You don\u2019t realize how much of a blessing it is until it\u2019s taken away from you.

Very willing to listen and learn so I have no doubt he\u2019s going to be very successful here.\u201d Terry, who joined the team right before the Basketball Champions discussed his new teammate, \u201cThat\u2019s my guy.

The Dayton, Ohio native poured in 16 points and added 6 assists for Hapoel Gilboa Galil in 27 minutes of action but it just wasn\u2019t the stats that were impressive, its as just the way he handled the ball thought the game for Lior Lubin\u2019s team. The guard played for Wright State his Junior and Senior seasons and then featured for one season in the G-League with the Erie Bayhawks. Thomasson then went aboard to Romania for a year and for the past three campaigns he played in Poland, most recently with Stelmet Zielona Gora where he notched 10.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists in the domestic league as well as the VTB League. The VTB League is one of the best in the world with the likes of CSKA, Khimki and Zenit who all play in the Euroleague as well as Kazan, Kuban and Parma. Thomasson took a big step up last season and he will now try to continue to climb the ladder with Hapoel Gilboa Galil for the next six weeks. \u201cToday was great,\u201d he told The Sports Rabbi. \u201cI had fun and I learned from today\u2019s loss.
