Doesn't matter if you only win 3 quarters as long as those are by more points than Riders 5!!
I can't see it though, unfortunately.

It would be no less logical than a 2 leg semi in Leicester

They are in form atm though and our games against each other are usually very tight affairs.

Is he injured or did Rob just prefer to give court time to Mo Walker as prep for this week's semis?

I think Fraser turned his ankle in one of the last two games of the regular season. Rob stated in one of his pre-match interviews he may be out for the semi-finals as well.

A best of 8 (or however many) quarters isn't as ridiculous a format as it sounds... the NBA All-Star Game already does something similar.
I'm not saying it's what I necessarily want to see, just saying it's not a ridiculous as you may initially think.

Cant see much it in just like the other six games earlier this season,
Over the two legs I can only see a Riders W.
