Wonder if Murray will play quite a bit in this game? Rocks appear to improve if he does.

Riders website shows this game being played at Worcester. is that right?
If so is it safe?, given tonight's game called off - deep clean undertaken i suppose

Wont improve enough to beat riders tho did ok for 75% of the games against Eagles and Lions - so with the new guys having had more chance to train with the other starters and hopefully more time on court from Gareth, while Rocks will be underdogs, I would not write them off so easily. |

Rocks have been competitive in every game except Bristol. Played well first 7mins against riders and turnovers and corey johnson caught fire. We are a much better team than then

Now Mr Hills has this one down as a 16.5pts start for Rocks.
Leicester haven't been blowing away teams lately so, on that basis, and the lively contributions of Keeling & Delph, some of my Brewsters will now be punted on the Scotch.

Rocks are horrible and probably deserve to lose for wearing that kit.

defence all over the place, too many posted missing in offence and on the rare times get close in - then miss the put away past the point of even thinking damage limitation - fear the 2nd half  got to also give full credit to riders - their work rate in defence and tightness to players is why the rocks are all over the place, this is not just about rocks performance |

Certainly looks like my (modest) wager has gone down river.
And Murray looks to have given up on Delph...

This is the worst Rocks team I’ve ever seen. Duncan Disorderly must be proud of how far forward he’s brought the team.

Rocks unlucky to play us on a day when virtually everything went well for our team, especially defence and 3 point shooting. Glasgow had no answers.

Never want to criticise gareth but when you have limited court time and unable to get the guys in the gym its always going to be hard to compete on a level playing field. The bonus of having your own facility during these times is a winner. Granted individuals need to play better but shooting below average in all categories in the league is abysmal.

Good to see that basketball expert Chester Donnelly spouting off in the comments section on Sky's Youtube.

The usual stuff about we can be as successful as France or Spain one day. No mention of netball though

back to the drawing board - today was disappointing to watch as felt went backwards in 1H from the prior couple of games.
looking on bright side, it is clear their are two definitions of success for the Rocks this season.
First one is being in place as a club to start the 2021-22 season - and looks like with the scot gov grant that is now achieved
Second one is to keep in touch with Flyers, Giants, Phoenix, Scorchers and enter the final quarter of games still in tough for a play-off spot
Anything against the other clubs goes down as a bonus

% league table is updated.
This was the first game I'd watched on sky this season, and I am really impressed with the coverage.
Well mixed vision from multiple cameras, great comentary from Dan R and Ant Rowe, and great analysis from Kieran A and Mike Tuck, as well really well produced and informative features pre game.
This is how basketball should be covered if people are going to pay for coverage.
On court, really impressed by Riders, especially Crandall, & good to see two Charnwood players getting a few minutes at the end.

I wouldn't be too hard on the team, Rocks fans. No other British side would have beaten Riders today.
