“His condition is improving day by day”: Maccabi Tel Aviv will welcome back Wade Baldwin?

Maccabi Tel Aviv hoped to complete the task last night (Saturday) and celebrate a second win in a row, but Hapoel Tel Aviv had other plans. The Reds dominated the game without question, winning 67:85 and balancing the playoff semifinal series at 1:1. Tomorrow the series will come to a third game for the championship title at the Menorah Mivathim Hall.

The atmosphere on the yellow bench was tense at the end and an unusual incident during which Joe Thomason refused to be substituted for the last seconds revealed a little of the pressure in the team for the third and decisive game.

“Obviously there were mental things, more than basketball, which I better not address right now. These are things that have nothing to do with basketball. In basketball we have to be more focused, but it was more mental,” Oded Ketch shared his feelings at the end.

Throughout the last few weeks in general and during the last few days in particular, the reports in Europe that link Wade Baldwin and Bonzie Coulson to Fenerbahçe are increasing. Even if they don’t say it clearly, it can be estimated that the environmental noise reaches the end even to the ears of their teammates.

“I don’t think the reports or rumors affect the players, we have a great group of players, people I really like to be around and play with. As long as they are still here I believe they will give their all. You can’t know what people will do in the future, it’s their decision And basketball is a game but also a financial business in the end. The players have families and personal situations, but I’m sure as long as they’re here they’re determined to finish the season with the championship title,” shared John DiBartholomew at the end.

At the end, the coach of the Yellows referred to the situation of Wade Baldwin. “His condition is improving day by day, and we’ll have to make a decision,” Ketch said, “If there’s anyone who can do it, it’s Wade.”
