“We emphasised getting back on the defensive end and that being our identity and our offence will then flow moving forward.” “I also spoke to BA and the coaching staff and explained the situation. “In the last two weeks we’ve lost four of our last six games and we just became complacent when we locked in top spot officially,” he said. “We had to make the decision today (Thursday) and I didn’t want to say I’d only play if we got knocked out because someone else needed that spot. “If it was during the year I’d play, but now we are in the back end of the finals,” Vasiljevic told News Corp. Vasiljevic had Sydney’s blessing to play for the Boomers, but he decided against the move in a bid to focus on winning another NBL championship.
