I guess that it could at the very least be a close game. You could say it is a must win game for both teams

I'd rather watch that than Lions, Eagles or Riders play Scorchers. I'm genuinely intrigued by this game.

In terms of quality of play, yes, Rocks/Scorchers isn't going to be the best we've seen on Sky, that's for sure.
But at least they're closely matched, so it should still be competitive and therefor enjoyable.
The Riders/Rocks game on Sky last week (which I know was a last minute substitution in the schedule) was so one sided it was a bore to watch. I was more interested in the London Lions news that was breaking at the same time than what I was watching on court.
FYI - This Rocks/Scorchers game will also be live on Sky Sports Mix on Friday night, so no Sky Sports subscription required.

Blowouts do little to attract credibility, and new viewers, to our game.
I had expected Rocks to keep it closer at Leicester, but something looked amiss with the Americans, particularly Delph.
If Delph & Keeling get back into things I foresee a decent match with Rocks greater cohesiveness outweighing Surrey's more individually talented roster.

There’s a few Lynch trophy games to catch up so think I’ll give it a miss

Everyone saw how keeling exploded into the league he now needs to adapt to the tighter pressure and create. I dont think he has shot the ball as well last few games. Hopefully delph is now use to the referees he needs to stay on the floor to contribute.
Hopefully scorchers continue their slump

Scorchers have released Skyler White. I wonder if he might end up at Rocks

Was a decent game to be fair. Scorchers very much a 1 on 1 team, very few plays run. Rocks I think lost the game duec to having a player coach. That is no slight on Gareth but down the stretch in such a tight game he needed to be on the sidelines making calm decisions. Delph had 25 & 10 but was sitting down until a player fouled out and game pretty much already gone.

Ugly defensive game but both teams shot the ball well so as a spectacle on Sky it was actually a great game to have on.

Really enjoyed watching this contest. Very good commentary and video coverage. A relief compared with most BBL coverage!

This game pained me too much as a Glasgow Rocks fan. I really thought they had this one in the bag. It's all the more difficult when coach Murray, Keeling and Delph score you 20+ and we still lose.
You have really got to feel for the players and the coaches after that one. I watched the interview with the Rocks assistant coach after the game and he couldn't hide the disappointment. As a fan, it's always good to see that the coaches care but I'm afraid we may be in for a loooong season this year. I can only hope the team find some sort of mojo to get them going.
