David Kahn talks about the future

On 11 April, our Parisian side secured victory at the Rhénus after a crunch period they controlled with an iron grip. A month and a half later, the tables have turned, with Strasbourg remaining unflappable on home turf despite our relentless attacks. One win apiece – it’s all to play for! Bad luck for SIG, as this time the match will be played not in the north-east of France but in the capital. This is a significant factor given the difficulties the Alsatians have faced in recent years at the adidas arena.

As well as having a poor away record this season, Strasbourg haven’t won in Paris for… four and a half years! All this, topped off with scores regularly exceeding a 30-point margin on the scoreboard. Just on Tuesday during Game 1, Paris triumphed with a 31-point lead. Our opponents this afternoon, however, have plenty of depth and showed us that again just over 24 hours ago. They remain, nonetheless, reliant on the exploits of their Keene-Davis Jr. duo. Unlike Paris Basketball, whose team identity is built on a collective foundation enhanced by its star players.
