Manchester point guard is just so Quick He’s unstoppable I agree Tyrik Armstrong was quick last night and hard to stop with 40pts!!! I was relieved again when he finally fouled out. Although Fletch got the MVP I think an honourable mention should go to Duke as he did an excellent job guarding Clark last night and making things difficult for him. I wonder if the ladies coach going made Ian think he's not as safe in the role unless he turns the results around towards the end of the season? Just did enough but should really have had it won in regulation |

Rocks sign Vance Johnson and some people are unhappy about it is it because they announced it just before the game or something? I saw a tweet about it but wasn’t really sure what it was about |

Tough game for Riders today - Phoenix always seem to be a team that causes us problems.

Lions looking very good on both ends so far, Eagles struggling with the defence so far

What a game between the Eagles and Lions!
Another poor start that costed us against them though!
Lions got lucky to win that one.
Peel was great today on defence and Wes was making some shots as well from the 3.
I think losing Darius was the turning point in that game as we lost our biggest defensive preventive.
As for the Lions Kelly had another stinker against us except this time he wasn't as effective and Cugini getting called for being out of bounds 3 times!
Not to mention that shot at the end when the game was clearly over was a bit of an insult and unnecessary.
Unfortunately as soon as we got it close we weren't stopping Neighbour, Tawiah, Reese and Dirk who were brilliant.
But at least we held our own and it feels like we're actually building some momentum for the playoffs and finish the week 1 for 2.
Hopefully after next weekend off we don't suddenly revert back to the old ways and show up like we did against Bristol.
Hard lines Eagles and well done Lions! 👏🏀🦅

Our turnovers cost us and 3 point shooting is dire atm. Gritty performance in Q2 which got us back in contention. Must stop Namon Wright because he's key for Phoenix.
Hoping Riders recover some rhythm and 3 point shooting in the second half. We are clearly way below par.

Excellent 4th quarter for the riders after 3 messy quarters enough for the win. Nice to see kimbal hitting some shots to kill the game off

3 pointers started dropping but this was a poor performance. The win is the most important aspect so well done for that. Whelan, Mackenzie, Crandall & Nelson-Henry were able to get the job done. Loving and Jackson seemed rusty as hell so we'll need a huge improvement all round if we are to win the cup final. Turnovers galore. That allowed Phoenix to score a bucketful of points.

Play of the Game....
Massive block from Geno off the backboard, quick pass down court, for Kimbal to pull up for a massive triple.
Fantastic way to go into next weekends final.
Also 10-0 is our best league start ever....defence wins Championships

I dont think he's mvp of the Giants mate. Will be a good match up in the final tho

We'll need Jackson & Loving to be in much better form than yesterday. They were both missing in action. That doesn't happen often so I imagine they'll be much more impactful in the final. I'm puzzled though why Washington is used so rarely now. Admittedly, Mackenzie's minutes reduce the opportunities for Conner but he's such an effective defender and 3 point shooter I would have thought he'd get more court time than the sparse minutes he presently receives.

Just noticed the 17 point win yesterday is the second smallest margin of victory for Riders so far this season in the BBL, I know they’ve been dominant but that is a ridiculous stat, they beat the Sharks by eight, every other win has been by 17 or more, incredible
