Riders' game should be quite a contest. Sharks are a good match-up for us.

I wonder if London would consider allowing Plymouth to win now, to make sure they play them in the play off quarter finals. Surely an easier game than playing Eagles at the moment.

That'd be pretty humiliating and unlikely I think.

May revise my opinion after Eagles' great win though. Trouble is, I reckon Lions could beat Patriots with one hand tied behind their back. |

So if Plymouth win tonight it’s because Lions are scared of facing the Eagles ! That thought would have to keep me going all summer, but I’d rather Plymouth get beaten….

I reckon Lions even if they put out a weaker side will be looking to win this one. A-To prove a point and give us a playoffs preview. B-As the owners of the league 777 will want to keep the playoff race interesting so why not beat Pats outright and make the Eagles and Pats then fight it out in the last day? |

Tarik Phillip is back. This should be interesting.

Tarik Phillip is back. This should be interesting. I don't think that's an upgrade on Taylor or Best, unless one of them is gone too? |

Well looks like Sunday is set to be a BBL play in battle between Eagles and Patriots.
And the winner gets the prize of deciding whether they want to bring Cushelle or Andrex toilet paper to face the London Lions next week.
According to Fiba stats the Cooper box had 3694 people in attendance tonight.
That seems like a really good attendance figure for the Lions.

Nice win over the Sharks tonight,
But the biggest shock was Darien Nelson-Henry announcing he’s retiring at the end of the season
Big thanks to #50

Jumping before being pushed? I wish him well. He hasn't been remotely as effective this season so we need a replacement centre. Someone much more athletic.

Sky definitely chose the best game to broadcast tonight. Pretty close at times but Loving proved to be the difference. Very good contributions all round - Jackson seemed to be involved in most of the crucial plays and I loved his steal and basket in the dying seconds.
