We'll mean business this time, although having said that it was business last game too.

riders putting out the kids again? 🤔🏀 Wasn’t that just because that Cup game was essentially meaningless for Riders? This game counts for something again... so I’d predict a Riders win this time. |

Who knows? What we do know is they didn’t put out the strongest team available for this cup game which disrespects the competition really and gives you the impression they preferred to lose that game for preferred opppsition in the next round |

What Leicester did in The Cup on Monday v Sheffield made perfect sense to me. They rested all their more established players other than those they felt needed some game time and they were in a lose-win situation. Lose and they were still through to play against Rocks rather than Flyers which on paper is an easier looking game. Also why risk injuries in a game that to them was ultimately meaningless to them.
I would hope that if Eagles were in a similar position they would do the same and in effect they have done on occasions when they've won the league before their last games so they could rest players for the play-offs. It's called looking after yourselves and your business.
Tonight's game will be so different and I'm expecting an easy Leicester win by 15+ points.

They have said that if the email address linked to the season ticket is already registered for BBL player access to the game should be automatically available once you log in. |

Seriously impressive step up in defensive intensity by the Riders. Sharks have no idea how to deal with it.
We need a scoring boost off the bench. Tuck, Marsden, Jones and Campbell are good players but no scoring between them to speak of.
We need someone who can get open and hit threes.

Far better second half leading to a solid win.

Too many careless turnovers by Riders. Defence in Q3+4 won us that game. Crandall had an off night. Biggest disappointment so far has to be Fraser. Looks too slow and clumsy. Constantly picking up fouls. Lee's a pleasure to watch - athletic and good in offence and defence. Washington was solid which was much needed. Congratulations on the win but a lot to work on.

Ground out the win. Not at all pretty, Anderson was dreadful.

Do think Sharks have a decent starting 5 this year though. Lillard had a bad night but yeah, just need some scoring off the bench.
