Isaiah Whaley: “I feel like I’m in one of my best rhythms throughout the whole year”

Do you agree that UNICS is the toughest opponent in terms of rebounds in this play-offs?

Yes, they have a lot of size. Really athletic and strong guys, so they're definitely the toughest rebounding team in the entire league and that's just a challenge that we're just going to have to take head on and we're up to the challenge.

Can you say that you are in a good rhythm?

Oh, yes. I feel like I'm in one of my best rhythms throughout the whole year. I feel like it's been a really good playoffs for me and the team and I feel like I'm playing some of my best basketball right now.

How fresh or maybe tired do you feel?

I feel really good. Actually, I mean, I'm pretty young so it's still easy for me to recover pretty fastly, but I feel really good right now.

Do you look forward to coming back to Kazan?

Yes, we really want to win there. We struggled playing away games throughout the playoffs. So we want to finish off the season good and with third place.

What will be the main thing in tomorrow's game?

Just rebounding being more physical. Showing the first two minutes that we want to win more.

What can you say to fans who may be hesitating about coming to the arena?

It's gonna be our last time being able to play in front of our fans and we want to really put on a show and put on a beautiful game for them to watch. So if you want to see a really fast and exciting basketball game then come see us.
