Hello everyone,
We have played nine games and now the feelings are good. I wanted to wait a few days before commenting on anything but after seeing how we're playing and how things are going, I dare say that we are on the right track. Hopefully everything will continue as it is now; more than for the results, but for the team feelings. Defensively we have improved substantially and now the roles are very clear. Everyone knows what to do and their responsibilities. We hope that all goes well this season but so Compact is an enigma. Until now it was acceptable but as of today we have to play 6 games in 8 days in five different cities. Fatigue and injuries will be key in our results. However, we have to be optimistic and think that we're playing good basketball and that we can continue down this road all season. I will keep you posted.
Regards,
José Manuel Calderón
