At the risk of banging my own drum, a few words about them here
Too many games to list, but if you want to know when they're in your neck of the woods just ask, |

A few have gained contracts, though some where done deals before they got here. Visas are an issue.
Ryan Patten at Sheffield was almost un guardable in d1

Here we go - Jingoism again.. This wasn't jingoim - honestly I didn't meant it like it may have come across It's like they couldn't have picked a tougher first weekends matches in UK Will these guys have played together as teams before they arrived? If not it's going to be a very tough introduction And I don't see Rob doing anything but taking the games very seriously Might have been easier to start with some lower level teams whilst they gel? Or have they been playing elsewhere in Europe before they got here |

There was a try out cAmp and then three days of practice before they flew out. They take games whenever and wherever they can get them. It's certainly not just about results

Offer me Riders v USA Select or GB v Macedonia,I'll go with the latter and that's despite how we played in Hungary the other night!
I find pre-season games boring.

It's certainly not just about results It's not about the results at all for these guys really is it? Just teams full of individuals trying to earn a contract anywhere they can. USA Select get pumped by the top BBL sides regardless of when they play them. Rob will approach these two games semi-seriously but you can expect to see lots of chopping and changing, and experimenting with lineups. It's a feature of these fixtures anyway and I suspect it's gonna be like musical chairs this year with the extra options we have. Rob actually made reference to this himself in an interview Riders tweeted the other day. |

Looks like they have a pretty decent team this year. Riders very very sloppy but it's 27-24 Riders end of 1.
Donovan Jack with three blocks so far.

Way to easy for Drew. They can't cope with his strength at all.
