The two possible opponents either Hapoel Jerusalem or Bnei Herzliya, will be a challenge for us and I don\u2019t think that the home court will make a difference.

We decided to keep the group together despite having some issues. We made some changes within the team and we were able to make it to the top 6 and the State Cup semifinals. However, we saw all of the ghosts come out in this series and I tried to do everything to keep the team together as a doctor with a patient. We lost to a very good team that is playing excellent basketball.
