Lions aside - all the teams seem capable of good performances this season and beating each other
Playoffs will be very unpredictable once they start 7th place may even have chances against 2nd place
Shame Lions are just a level above
But you could argue the other teams are improving to try and compete with them?

Yes absolutely. 2nd to 7th, there's really nothing between them. Of course Lions are on another level. Today, Gladiators Vs Sharks should be competitive. |

I reckon lions have fewer 25 + point wins than pats have 25+ point lossess in 2023. Easy to say lions are doing damage because you lose when pats are doing more damage

Agreed actually, I also feel that the standard is much higher. I have been wondering if its above the standard of the glory days of the late 90s. I actually think it might be tbh.

When the salary cap was removed there were 3 potential downsides.
1. That London would become virtually unbeatable. Ok this has happened which is unavoidable, but not as badly as we might have thought. There are teams that can give them a good game, and it's still entertaining.
2. That teams would overspend and go bust. This hasn't happened yet.
3. That the league becomes uncompetitive. This hasn't happened. It's understandable that Plymouth and Manchester are not as competitive. 777 Partners are spending what they can to keep them going. Hopefully they will both be bought.
Who knows what the future holds, but so far this season has been very enjoyable.

Who knows what the future holds, but so far this season has been very enjoyable. Technically hasn't your downside 2 happened at Giants? The company and owners when cap was removed have lost the franchise and league has it back? On your comment on downside 3, is it confirmed that 777 are spending on both Plymouth and Manchester - or is it actually the league who are supporting those two franchises? I know technically 777 as an individual have a larger share of the league than a single club does, but still an important distinction if those two clubs are being funded from the british basketball league or from 777. |

Well your two points are closely linked, and I believe it is 777 Partners that are keeping Giants and Patriots afloat rather than the league, because the league is the teams and I don't think all the other teams could afford to fund Giants and Patriots. Only 777 Partners have money for that. |
