Sharks vs Patriots I favour the Pats to beat the Sharks and Flyers to get one back against London but wouldn't be surprised if it went either way.
Rocks surely should beat the Scorchers but Surrey would be doing us a huge favour if they miraculously beat the Rocks for us.
And as for Eagles vs Riders do you think Robbie P would be up for making it a Retro Game as I'm starting to miss winning?
I still have my old T-Shirt and I'm probably going to shut my eyes and imagine im watching Charles Smith and Joe Chapman sinking 3 pointers.
With Scott Martin crashing the boards like in the good ol days.

A sellout crowd at Eagles should mean it's closer than you guys expect
Normally I wouldn't rule out Eagles winning at home
But if Fletch has got to play close to 40 minutes and Defoe close to 30 minutes in the end they are going to get outworked
I expect a strong start from Eagles but Riders to take control at the end
Eagles shouldn't be able to cope with our energy and intensity as the game goes on
Any Eagles fans daring to watch on here
Do your best to stay til the end!!

Sellout crowds or being on Sky has had no impact on the manner in which this team plays this season. I'm expecting to be destroyed tonight and I'm just looking forward to seeing Geno in the flesh. Would be very surprised if the score is anything less than a 25 point blowout to Riders. |

It's not a bad policy Fear the worst but hope for the best But if Eagles can't get right mindset for a game like this in front of sellout crowd then they've got serious problems |

Do Sports Direct have any good offers on luggage today?
As I'm half expecting Riders to show up with suitcases packed to send us crashing out the playoffs tonight.
Will the BBL Championship Trophy also be there as if I'm not mistaken I believe as much as it will be at out misfortune tonight Leicester can win the tittle if they defeat us.
Although to be fair we did win 2 trophies last season on there home court so this would be an even sweeter way to add insult to injury.

No. Since London beat Newcastle earlier this week Leicester now can't win the Championship title this weekend. |

I think Leicester still need 2 more wins to guarantee them the Championship title... but yeah, maybe if London lose tonight (following Manchester's recent loss) that might do it too. But I admit my head hurts trying to work it out, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.  |

I'd love to see a really good Riders team pushed to their limits even in a defeat for us. But that won't be the case tonight and that's a shame, first and foremost I'm a basketball fan and like watching good teams compete. |

I will say this although he'll probably run the floor like Steph Curry knocking down 3's I quite excited to see Geno Crandle play as well. And see what sort of reception he gets for the first time playing in front of Newcastle fans as well. |

As MansfieldMike has pointed out, a Leicester win and Lions loss tonight would give Leicester the Championship title, so I stand corrected, it could still happen. But to answer your original question, I still doubt any silverware will physically be handed out tonight. |

Well unless the little aliens from the spacejam 1 movie steal the talent of the Riders players I'm struggling to see us beat them. Nice to see Riders have brought fans with them tonight. |

Despite my distaste for Paternostro I've gone with my head on this one and had another tasty wager on a team overcoming the handicap over Newcastle.
Linos did them by 18 the other night so should be no reason that Leicester can't easily outrun the 9.5pt handicap.
Cashback again methinks.

This is looking like it could get really ugly
It’s already pretty ugly and we’re barely into the second quarter
