So it appears there isn't a thread for the game, very low attendance, didn't anyone tell people about it. Even worse apparently neither club are bothered either. Looking at the stats both coaches playing their benches in the first half, players having no court time in the first 5/6 games are now playing 6-10 minutes in this one. Wonder if it was half price entrance money?

Can someone fill me in on what the hell was happening last night? Could neither team qualify for the next round regardless of the result? It's the only thing I can think of to justify playing all 11 players in a competitive game

Yes, it would be interesting to know why we replaced Nicholls with Montgommery with 3:55 left in the third when we were just down 2
Followed by taking Williams and Anderson off within a minute to ensure we lost any momentum going into the forth.......
Then starting the forth with Tuck so that the Giants guards could practice driving round him for layups ..........
I guess it was a dead game ! Hope so anyway

We have a strong rotation and use all players. |

Would agree with letsgogiants, think it appeared to be a fairly standard rotation for them with Dan Clark out injured, perhaps the only difference being a 4 minute stretch for Callum where giants were +9.

It's the only thing I can think of to justify playing all 11 players in a competitive game It's the opposite. It's so hard not to qualify that they didn't bother. The BBL Cup has a terrible format - 40 games to go from ten teams to eight. |

Aha, that makes sense then Top 4 qualify so use it as an opportunity to run your scrubs to keep their interest and help them develop Makes a lot of sense for Oscar Baldwin who clearly has potential but Nate needs to spend his time in the weights room if he wants to compete at both ends (good shooter but weak on D) The other 2 guys do need to be tested but it seems daft to me to play them all together as thats not a real rotation |
