Your relaxed style with Julius encouraged an interesting and frank conversation e.g. Julius revealing he didn't have much of a clue when he first joined Wolves - I think the fans could all see that. Once he settled in he made a real impact, but there could well be other leagues in the future where he would not be allowed the luxury of settling-in time.

does Richards always get away with the push offs when doing his post up move - or is it just tonight's crew blind to it?

As a neutral I am really enjoying this game!
One gripe- it is SO annoying when sky show instant replays whilst the game is ongoing at the other end. They've missed about 4 scorcher buckets because they were showing replays.

They used to do it on their coverage of Ice hockey too
Think it was Braehead Clan vs Dundee Stars. Clan scored and as they were showing a replay they missed another Clan goal that went in straight after

fingers crossed that is Delph's breakout game and he can go on to help the team continue its improvement.
thought addition of Keeling was going to help the early season ball guard issues - but with another 16 turnover game with 16pts given up on those turnovers it is still something the squad have as an achilles heal
the sky guys highlighted the number of rebounds given up to surrey - they had 18 offensive rebounds - as a factor. Thought a lot of it was just the Rocks not physically strong enough to cope with Rickman and Richards and while trying to restrict them, left others able to also pick up the rebound.
gutted for Gareth and the team - put on a display, played to the hot hands, just could not get enough stops to make up for the errors and their frustration with a couple of calls. more +v's than -v's I thought for rocks tonight

An entertaining game to watch but the Rocks are piss poor and look like they have last place well and truly sewn up. Duncan Disorderly has been lurching from disaster to disaster with the franchise and now it's showing on the court with him putting out, probably, the worst Rocks team in their history. I'm sure he'll still throw around the same excuses like its the governments fault with their covid rules, there's no money to spend and that this season is all about keeping the franchise in existence, not winning any games. Poor poor stuff from a poor poor owner. Big changes are needed with the Rocks, to at least get them back to mediocracy, and those changes don't look like coming any time soon.

Bitterly dissapointing that we couldnt out fight surrey. Both teams looked like they had something to prove offensively and they just did a better job getting offensive rebounds. Surrey took 17 more shots. Rocks turned the ball over 16 or more time. Few teams can win doing that. Tayo did what tayo does against glasgow turn up and glasgow eventually had Keeling and delph making shots. I feel delph needs to be tougher when rebounding. It's as if he switches off and decides its easier, rickman and mcklemore just wanted the ball more.
A must win gone begging unfortunately

The Rocks were very poor last night. There was that one play in the 1st where our guy threw up a lazy shot, because in his mind he felt there was a foul on him. You should play to the whistle which sadly never happened. Really disappointed with the Rocks this season. It was always going to be tough after Lavandier said Au revoir to Glasgow and went back home. Rebuilds are never easy and I still think the Rocks made the wrong call in putting Gareth in charge. It's unfair asking him to step up when he's still an active player. Rocks should have gotten a more experienced coach to come in. 1 win in their last 6 is very bad form.
Something has got to change and quick

Something has got to change and quick Supporter of all things British basketball down south. After seeing yesterday’s last place Sky game, how long will Rocks fans accept the excuses and nose diving of an organisation? Loss of income, Covid/govt restrictions, loss of sponsors. Whatever has affected the rocks, they were not alone and it affected other teams in some way as well - Having basketball people in your basketball organisation does seem to potentially help across the league. Why the Rocks are where they belong. With a merchandising owner, a player / coach (says it all) that’s wee pals with the Sky broadcaster, a flurry of daily excuses from all around the club - Do not expect a competing, championship level Rocks organisation anytime soon. It’s a show on ice people. |

I mean Official Supporters Club to get his yes men to back up his ideas publicly. He knows fans think he’s a bum but we are stuck with him. As long as he’s making some sort of return on investment then he’ll be here for the long haul. |

This result really does show how bad Sharks were in the loss in Glasgow
Gareth Murray can be a player coach with decent back up
Flournoy did it for years
Sharks lost to Glasgow by bad coaching and playing
Lyons has put changes in place and against Riders we competed better but we now need to win !!
