I didn't realise just how bad lions were Thought we made them look poor last week I think they might actually just be poor Eagles looked good though. Should be a great game next week. Weve got a job to do on scorchers first though |

Why would Eagles choose to prioritise a less important competition when they're essentially one loss off top spot in the league? They should be doing everything in their power to try and win tonight. In no way, shape or form should anyone be 'rested'. If anything, this is the kind of fixture where you take a chance on guys who are 50/50 fitness-wise. Incredible how quickly some of their fans throw in the towel these days. What are u on about? 2 fans on here hardly speaks for the entire fan base! 💪 |

What are u on about? 2 fans on here hardly speaks for the entire fan base! 💪 What are you on about? At no point did I say 'the entire fan base' though 75% of the Eagles fans who posted in this thread before the game more or less implied that Eagles have naff all chance in the league and should be prioritising Sunday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy fixture. |

Before tonight I was quietly confident that we could beat Eagles based on the poor display they put up a few weeks ago when we were there. Initial thoughts tonight after the game was that the way Eagles played against Lions meant we would struggle, but having thought about it not too sure now. Lions were very poor and gave Eagles far too much space and time with little tough team defence. Even so very impressive from the Eagles tonight.

That was much better from Eagles.
Let’s see if they can repeat on Sunday.

Cheshire have been impressive lately so it’s going to be tight over both games |

Having watched tonight, Eagles are a better team than Riders, absolutely no question. Although I'm fairly sure that was Eagles best performance of the season!

Your team put them under zero pressure though. You made them look good. We won't roll over like that. We will give them a battle at least. |

Some teams have all the luck, not needing to get distracted by Johnstone’s Paint !

Didn't look like Eagles weren't put under pressure from where I was sitting. Lions played full court on us all night long and we were able to consistently pass out of it well. Lions looked pretty good to me, but we just seemed to execute better than they did.
I don't think Lions should be called a poor team because of last night. They're the first team this season to come up against our first choice back court. Difficult to scout when you have never seen them play together.
It was good to see lots of people who were new to basketball at the ECA tonight. The game was a good advert for the BBL and hopefully we can turn a few of those people in to regular attendees. The newbies around me seemed to be impressed by the game night experience. Well done Eagles on a successful night on court and off it.

Some statline from Gettys last night. Efficiency rating of 45! Got to be a contender for league MVP at this rate.
