You can work, form a group, commit yourself, but the limits remain and cannot be completely masked.

The defeat on the field of modest Pistoia 68-63 confirmed that Banco di Sardegna does not have enough talent to emerge quickly after the handicap start also due to injuries.

Without Bendzius' baskets from the three-point range and Diop's physicality inside the area becomes very tough against anyone, except for a few exceptional days like against Trento. Winger McKinnie is a decent complementary player but doesn't have the offensive impact of Bendzius. Diop's absence cannot be filled with just a few more minutes from Gombauld and by asking Treier to sacrifice himself, especially in too light quintets like the one at the beginning of the second quarter where he was joined by Raspino.

On Wednesday we play in the Champions League at PalaSerradimigni against Ludwigsburg and on Saturday Scafati arrives. After these two matches the club will have to reflect on the market because Diop's return is still three more weeks away. Unless the objective has become simple salvation and therefore within the reach of the current team with the return of the Senegalese center trained in Italy.
