“For three games now, we’ve been competing with only 7 players due to injuries. Toward the end of the game, we made mistakes in routine situations. In some moments, we needed to play smarter and think faster. Fatigue was noticeable in the final minutes. I congratulate Neftchi — they fought well and deserved the win....
We didn’t perform well at the beginning of the game, mainly because it was our second match in a short span of time. We had very little time to recover. Despite that, we increased the tempo after the break, played more aggressively, and managed to erase a 19-point deficit. It was a tough but important...
“We had some roster issues. Even though we played with only 8 players, our local players held their own against the opponent’s foreign players. The contribution of our local players was crucial in today’s victory. Due to limited rotation, we struggled to execute fast breaks, so we opted for a different playing style. We focused...
“I was pleased to see my players enjoying basketball while competing. That’s very important. However, I believe there are still some aspects of our game that we need to improve. Despite having a few injured players in the squad, those who got the opportunity stepped up and fought well. Today, we played at a EuroCup...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
