I’m glad we won. We deserved this victory! We did not give up. We had intensive training and we saw the results in this game. But unfortunately, rotation issues took their toll in the previous 3 games. Although we were close to victory, in the end there were games where we lost with a difference...
The thoughts of our head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis after the return match with “Maroussi”.
Not much to say about the game. We continue to have problems with rotation. Moreover, Kamron’s injury during the game affected the final result. Our other player Artyoms has not fully recovered from his injury. That’s why he played less. Due to our limited rotation, 5 players played for 35 minutes. This is the main...
The thoughts of our head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis after the game with “Absheron” BK
Today, due to injury, we could not use the services of 2 of our tall basketball players – DeAndre and Artyoms. Although we did not perform well in the first 2 periods, we won a deserved victory. This game was not an easy ride for us. Due to the number of injured players, I could...
Rimas Kurtinaitis’s thoughts after the match with Spirou
We fought well. We really wanted to win in front of our fans. We were very willing. Perhaps because of the pressure created by this, we sometimes lost the ball in simple episodes. The absence of Ender Poladkhanli and DeAndre limited our rotation opportunities in this game as well. Thank you to the fans for...
The thoughts of our head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis after the game with “Neftchi” IC
You have to draw conclusions from every game. Although we won, I was not satisfied with the game we showed in the last 5 minutes. We need to improve the quality of the game. Our reserve players should perform better in the domestic championship. We will continue to work on it. As for the upcoming...
The thoughts of our head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis after the game with “Norrköping Dolphins”.
We fought until the end. But unfortunately, we could not bring the ending like in other games. When we need to do something extra late in the game, we can’t do it. We lost the ball in regular episodes. Before the match, I told the players that no matter how well we defend, we need...
The thoughts of our head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis after the confident victory over “Sarhadchi” PIK
The start of the league will help us better prepare for European competitions in terms of game rhythm. Today, I made a lot of rotations in the squad. I gave more chances to local basketball players. Along with positive elements in our game, we also had some mistakes. However, I wanted to give the players...
The thoughts of our head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis after the game with “Maroussi”.
Maroussi is a team with a century-long history and basketball traditions. They also perform well in their domestic championships. In the last round, they defeated “Kolossos,” a team participating in the Champions League. DeAndre, who scored 28 points against “Norrköping” and 38 points in the game against “Spirou,” was not in the lineup this time...
Opinions of our head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis about the game with “Spirou”.
We could have won. But we missed the victory at the last moment. Their staff is wider. The rotation possibilities are more than ours. We have to perform better in our home games and score as many points as possible.
Our head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis expressed his opinion about the meeting after the game with the “Norrköping Dolphins” club in the 1/4 finals of the FIBA Champions League qualification stage.
The opponent had an established lineup. The team maintained its core structure. As for us, the team has almost been rebuilt from scratch. To achieve better understanding between the players, we need to play more games. We need a bit of time. Nevertheless, I think we performed well. Our players gave their best. There were...
