    It's official: this year we won't have Andris Biedriņš and Jānis Blūms in roster. Well, time for others to step up!

      Any news about possible Latvian roster? Will Biedriņš play?

        Here's our roster:


        We're missing almost entire roster from Eurobasket 2009, only Janis Blums is playing (Rolands Freimanis was also in roster, but then he didn't play). So no Biedrins, Kambala, Janicenoks, both Valters', Skele and list continues with few others...

            Why so many absentees? Coach decision or excuses?

              Biedrinš said he won't play, but he didn't explain why, Janičenoks is injured and he will recover during 2nd part of the next month, some players still can't play because of disqualification, if I remember well..and things like this, if I know well.

                Biedrins is biggest mystery, because there hasn't been any info about him. Official version is that he hasn't recovered from injuries which is BS I think. Probably doesn't want to play this year. Kambala was only one who isn't because of coaches decision although he planned to retire in NT after last Eurobasket.

                Kristaps Valters still has that funny DSQ from our federation, same for Armands Skele. Sandis Valters retired from NT last year, while Kristaps Janicenoks is still recovering from ankle injury. Others from last Eurobasket team either isn't in coaches plans (like Ernests Kalve, Gatis Jahovics) or has retired (Uvis Helmanis, Arturs Stalbergs, Aigars Vitols).

                  Kaspars Berzins is also out due surgery... So almost all the A squad out

                  Feel really sorry for Latvians, championship is almost at home, lot of supporters was expected and now this...

                    Our candidate list will join two U20 players - Martins Meiers (C) and Mareks Mejeris (SF). They're added to get more players and bodies in practices. Maybe one of them could get spot in final roster but it's a longshot.

                    Other additions are not planned although everyone wanted to see Bagatskis inviting Kambala after missing all other top players from frontcourt (Biedrins, Berzins, Zakis).

                      Wow, Latvia national team just lost to Lithuanian Student team, who looked out of form and overweight a little. Isnt the most inspiring start for Latvia, thats for sure.

                        From what I read, without Vasiliauskas, Janavicius, Juskevicius e.tc.

                        That's bad news for Latvia, but it's still early

                          Today our team looked pathetic. Ok, we were missing our both starting guards Janis Strelnieks and Janis Blums as well as few others from current roster (not including those who isn't playing this year), but still they had to beat them in any way.

                          Pretty shameful and not the best days for our NT, but I really hope they will use these games (in which most of them will be losses probably) to improve and be solid when real games starts.

                            Actually student team could raise the very same argument because their best players like Janavicius, Vasiliauskas, Lipkevicius and others are absent. For the most part this student team is actually student b team as most of the players wouldn't even make to the strongest student team roster.

                              If Latvian players respected the federation they could actually field a quite decent team

                              Streilniks
                              Kuksiks
                              Kambala
                              Biedrins
                              Berzins
                              Blums
