Basketball: "We're a bit bummed," admits Cavalière after Paris-Fenerbahce

Léopold Cavalière, Paris Basketball power forward, after the defeat against Fenerbahce on Tuesday (88-98) and the elimination in the Euroleague quarterfinals: "There's so much frustration right now. It's hard to see the positive side, to tell yourself that it's been a great season, a great series despite the three defeats. We might see it a little better tomorrow, or after the season with hindsight. Now, it's the competitive side that takes over. We're obviously a bit pissed off. We felt in contact the whole series.

Will Paris be invited back to the Euroleague next season? As long as it's not official, I don't consider it a done deal. But we've shown that we can play, that we can be an interesting product for the Euroleague, beyond basketball. I think it's in their best interest to keep us. Now, it's a closed league, these decisions are made behind closed doors. If we return to this competition, we'll be keen to do at least as well, which won't be easy."
