Up to our full compliment this week now that Levi Bradley has joined up. Will be a good barometer for how we are gonna do in the cup....and how well each team has learned about each other from one match each.

If we show the commitment and team spirit that we did against Surrey then I don’t see why we can’t pick up a win against the Royals. It’ll be interesting to see how Levi Bradley fits in with squad rotation.

Looking forward to seeing how the Lav twins (as Royals have christened them, rather sounds like a pair of toilets but hey ho) get on here.
I have a feeling even at their age they'll fare extremely well.

Bigz they already have a pretty succesful brand using the LavTwins term. lavtwins.com/ Whoever idea it was to sign them needs a pat on the back. Not only very talented players (albeit nearing the end of their careers), they will also pull in big numbers of Lithuania fans. I believe they are a pretty big deal in Lithuania. Royals have formed a pretty talented squad. And one that seems to lack the egos of last season (barring a couple) |

And one that seems to lack the egos of last season (barring a couple) Got to admit, despite rumours they were being kicked out of Crystal Palace, one of their co-founders quitting after just one season, losing a rumoured £600K last season, a change in coach after just one season, and last season’s all-stars MBA and Hamilton nowhere to be seen… I still think Royals look like a very good team this season. I still question whether whatever they’re doing is sustainable long term though. As for this game, I think Royals will get a close win. |

As much as I don't wanna see them do well, I do want to see them do well enough financially that they build stability enough that they become a consistent and regular fixtures in the league. But cannot help thinking they'll be gone by 2022. |

Even more unfortunate that it wasn't deliberate then haha! |

Yeah I'm fairly sure Royals won't be here in 4 years time but sod it if they keep bringing in top level British talent whilst they are I'm past the point of caring.
It doesn't seem to be a boring ride they're on I'll give them that.

Think the BBL is getting stronger and stronger....each club seems to be doing it in different ways.

Sounds like a bumper crowd(For Royals) tonight. Should be a good atmosphere & I'd expect the best viewing figures on YouTube that the BBL have had so far.
I'd love Bristol to beat them but I can't see it!

The Royals commentator is super ****.
- Sounds like he's doing an impression of Christian Bale saying "I'm Batman" every time a shot happens.
- Pronounces Delpeche as De-Pelk-Kay, not Del-Pesh.
- Called Bristol the Filton Flyers.
... and the sound levels are WAAAAAY too low.

Dunno what funnier, Filton 5 point 4th quarter or the Lav Twins combining for 8 points and 2 rebounds!!!
On a serious note i hope Andrew Lawrence back can hack carrying this team all season

I always hopes to see Lawrence and dvo play in the bbl. The numbers he is putting up so far are class. Hopefully plays for gb during the next window

Not everything's measured on offensive end. Bristol's 57 points might have had just a little do with some serious size to shoot over and bodies to get around.

Well. I had a chance to see this game last night which was my second game the first being the London Lions pre season. I have to admit, not bad basketball. Decent atmosphere too. Probably because the place didn’t feel too empty.
Whet a blow out game tho. Bristal just wasn’t up for the task.
Look forward to going back to see the Royals and worth it. Had a good time.

Hes the level of brit player thats such a higher quality like MBA was that we expect to come in and dominate and hes even better than I thought. Very happy I've had the opportunity to watch him live and yell at him |
