A "Must Win" game for London.
To win the leasgue, London would need to win all of their 13 remaining games, and Leicester would have to lose 4 of the 8 games they have remaining.
As Riders have won over 86% of their league gmes so far, it's highly unlikely that they would lose 50% of their remaining games.
In baseball terms, the "magic number" for Leicester to be confirmed as champions is 5, made up of any combination of Leicester wins or London defeats.
Ideally a Worcester victory this afternoon to help move things to the rightful conclusion. :-)

Just what has happened to Jordon Spenser?
Can’t believe how bad he looks-from once the ‘future of British Basketball’

OK, so Robinson out injured, Liggins sulking after being taught a lesson by Vince, but do a team tauted to win everything this year have no other leaders in the team?
League title was a long shot at this stage anyway, and no playoff home advantage, but surely the playoffs are a must for this team so they still want to be seeded high. 12 games remain after this of which 5 could be tricky based on this performance.

This is good for us. What is the problem with London though. Is it the old “too many egos”, the coach? Do we expect the new guys to bring in a new coach?

Jordan Williams excellent. But Liggins was the most influential player due to getting T’d up in Newcastle and missing the game - his mouth has cost London a shot at the league (if they had one).

What happened with Liggins?
Good result for Worcester, I stuck a tenner on them at 4/1 but chickened out and only got £25 back cash out, should have trusted them more

No doubt there’ll be excuses about absentees from the Lions camp (admittedly Liggins and Robinson are huge misses) but when you can still bring 5 international players off the bench, I don’t think there can be many complaints when Wolves were turned over by Bristol recently AND were missing arguably their best player!

If this is about Liggins then surely the last of him in London? Can’t really think that else it could be about
Oh the drama

Who knows what's going on off court & I don't care &I'm certainly not as concerned what's happening on court as I have been for the last 25 years either.
However, Lions got caught by a team doing exactly what is necessary to beat them.
From the little I saw & the stats, it's clear Wolves defended the perimeter and offensively kept going inside.
Lions can't defend inside if their lives depended on it, they're weak and have poor defensive cover. Parker is a decent player but he seems to be more of a 3 than a 4, his rebounding & defensive work is not done around the basket. No one else has quick enough feet or the length to defend properly.

Rumour (I know I know- shoot mi down but I’ve been pretty much well informed all season)
Liggins after his MVP asked for an extra $1000 a month and threw a big tantrum when refused. Other players in practice tried to placate but he refusing to play.
Lots of disharmony all year first with Bristol now Liggs. Neither liked not being top dawg behind JRob (real MVP)
4th hand info from one of my guys -came from one of coaches so who knows?

Sorry I don’t buy this can’t defend the interior stuff. They have enough size and physical presence. If you can’t do it man to man then change your defensive strategy. Or is it a mentality thing. Either way there is someth8mg not right in London..

Rumour (I know I know- shoot mi down but I’ve been pretty much well informed all season) Not really. You said a lot of things, Some have been true. It's the monkeys/typewriter/Shakespeare thing. Were you involved in this?You'll be delighted to know that you were spoken of after our win yesterday. AJ really would like a word, as you're mates, drop him a text. I imagine if you really had mates on the Lions' team, they'd be pretty pissed off with you blabbing in public. But you don't. |
