Fingers crossed for tonight's game. Defence will be so important for us, as ever. I'm going to predict a narrow 6 to 12 points win for Riders Pats need a 10 point plus win themselves I think to come to Riders thinking they've got a chance Pats will be well up for the game But so will we!! Our extra quality and depth should come through by the end of the game OK a narrow 15 point win then |

Love that scoreline but didn't enjoy a sour, bad blood game. Roll on Sunday. Best moment for me? Williams fouling out. Wonder if it will be another 47 foul game….. |

Like Keegan, I would LOVE it if we beat Patriots on their court tonight. Well it won’t be the first time……….. |

I wonder how many times we have beaten Plymouth now? Depending on who your asking…..but by my count 37 and counting Looks like Plymouth lost their bottle (literally) by the end of the game. Defence wins Championships, Not a noisy hyped up Pavilion |

Great game. Ultimately Leicester just too good and too consistent - even after a rocky start.

When a players brother attacks an opposition coach the club should face serious consequences. Absolutely embarrassing

The police should get involved and he should get sent down for that I wouldn't blame the club for having a supporter who's a lowlife scumbag |

The Plymouth club, and the venue have a "Duty of Care" to ensure the participants are safe and not attacked by spectators, something they quite obviously failed to do.
The needs to be a full investigation by the BBL, and if Plymouth are found to have failed in their duty of care, not only should the club face a significant financial penalty, but also be made to play several games without spectators.
It may seem harsh, but the consequences of the asault last night could have been a lot worse.

Last game of basketball at the Pavilions Shame to end like that What happened to Rob P, IRF, I’ve just read the statement on riders social Media he was attacked?? Club Statement In the third quarter of tonight’s game our Head Coach Rob Paternostro was attacked by a spectator at Plymouth Pavilions. We would like to thank the medical staff who attended to Rob for their swift response. Both Leicester Riders and Plymouth City Patriots strongly condemn the actions of the spectator. There is no place for this behaviour in our game. The matter is currently being investigated by the Police. (I didn't see it. I was following the game on livestats. I know they appeared to stop updating for several minutes. Then a poster on here said Rob had been hit by a bottle by a fan and was down on the ground) I have no idea how bad he was |

I’m sure we’ll all give Plymouth a jolly good welcome with no animosity whatsoever,
We will all politely clap each basket made and shout hooray at various times.
Or we could give them hell, completely demolish them and rack up at 38 consecutive victory,
I wonder……

You can't blame the club for the actions of one idiot.
I remember in my first season as an Eagles fan a Mr Yorrick Williams came into the crowd and hit a fan.
However I don't judge Leicester as a club based on his actions.
And as it is a rare event I don't think action should be taken against the club.
Afterall I'm sure Pats are embarrassed enough as it is after incident.
However I do hope Rob is okay and I find this sort of behaviour from a fan disgusting and completely uncalled for.
This is the sort of low level rubbish that I despise in football and hope it never crosses into Basketball especially if the crowds do grow.
One of the best things about the BBL is it being family friendly and you can even take your kids to it knowing they will be safe and have a good time as well.
If this level of foolishness I have seen in footy crowds rolls into basketball I will be worried.
So I seriously hope this is a one off event and the sport doesn't start attracting the wrong sort of crowd.
