Great Q3 by Riders to recover and drive on to establish a lead. Much better offence and defence too.

Crandall has been superb in this game. Unbelievably good. What a player. No diva behaviour - just flat out brilliant.

However Rocks still seem to be winning games even though Fraser hasn't be around for quite a time. Thinkthe comment about Ridtwo big men will dominate especially as Crandell can put the ball on a plate for them. You can guarantee Rob will have us taking advantage of the big guy opportunity In the last match v Rocks Nelson Henry and Walker scored something like 28 points in 28 minutes between them I'm really expecting this to be a very comfortable semi final for us over the two legs tbh 21 point win away from home Despite an awful second quarter |

That was IMPRESSIVE! What a second half when Rocks were threatening to take this game comfortably.

Well that was fun whilst it lasted.
I mean only a 21 point deficit for Rocks to overcome surely Glasgow will come back like they did against Sheffield and I should bet £10 that they win.
Jokes aside and back in the real world I think Leicester fans may aswell start planning for a trip to the O2 now as this has cemented their place in the final.
The next game will might as well be a warm up/dress rehearsal for Leicester.
Although I do believe which ever team wins out of Lions and Flyers will give them a good match up in the final.
Since London disappointed me with their approach in the Trophy Final I hope its Flyers.

Harris has been an absolute monster in the playoffs Crandall not done too bad either! Best performance stats wise by a Riders player since 2012 |

Very sluggish start by Riders, We looked very lacklustre in the first half with far to many turnovers, plus 48 given by the half,
Come the second half and a completely different side came out, second half defence definitely wins playoff games, we only gave up 36.
Best part of the game for me was right at the very end when the arena put on some entertainment for the crowd….
I couldn’t see her but I definitely could hear that rather large (your not allowed to say fat) lady singing.
Mondays gonna be a fun night.

Harris 29 pts 3rb 5st 69% from 2, 75% from 3 AND 25 & 7 qf 1st leg AND 21 & 7 qf 2nd leg Against the top 2 seeds and top 2 defences in the league He's come to play! |

Obviously, Harris is a very talented and hugely entertaining player but there's no doubt who was the best player on court yesterday.

BBL site still shows 7.45pm - I did think that was slightly odd as it's usually 7.30, but its only 15 mins difference I guess.

Sky normally likes a half hour preview.

Robs testimonial will probably be more competitive than this match
