@_stoob @DaveAnt122141 The Lions Roar has been a game changer. Feels like Manchester could really do with something coordinated

@HoopsFanUK @DaveAnt122141 Nothing as well organised as the Lions supporters group. We have a fan WhatsApp group - a more "official" supporters group was discussed a while ago, but no one pushed forward with it.

This is a great touch

Dave is spitting facts at the end again. Get this man involved at the highest level of the SLB. You might not like what he has to say but you would find it hard not to admit he is right

Bonkers ending for OT ✅ Even more bonkers ending for 2OT ✅ Fascinating battle for 🏆✅ Epic Dave rant? ✅✅✅ linktr.ee/sundaynightbre…

@rhunt321 That would make for a great podcast… there have been quite a few

@HoopsFanUK Not sure why I’d rank it in terms of own goals to be honest. There have been a few….

Manchester really had the chance to be winners regardless of the result yesterday. They win, they’ve beaten the pantomime villains of the league and become everyone’s favourite Giant killers. If they lose, they’ve beaten bow out gracefully as the moral victors in defeat …

Appreciate the effort to get this out so soon! Enjoyed as always!

@rhunt321 I almost expect it but this one seemed to be one of the biggest examples of self sabotage I can think of. I’d love to know what the owners view of it all is.

@HoopsFanUK Never underestimate British basketballs ability to shoot itself in the foot

Out now, go listen!

@DaveAnt122141 @_stoob I think London leave the supporters group to do the organising, most were in London merch and had the scarves. They looked uniform but a London final T-shirt would have been great. Does Manchester have a supporters group?

@_stoob @HoopsFanUK Looks that way

@LondonLions Can we have a run down of the final & opinions on the end and what that means to the team/rivalry & league How do you keep all 16 players happy & balance keeping them engaged and committing to development Any more news on NBA Europe bids, Arena or other plans for next season

What questions do you have for the podcast this week? 🎙️🦁

@DaveAnt122141 @_stoob My only thought would be that tensions would still be high and it would be better to stay off the court and cool down rather than come back and risk a punch up. Doesn’t mean they couldn’t greet the fans though

@HoopsFanUK @_stoob Hoopin n looting stated that they was more to them just walking off but neither he, MCR or the league has elaborated on that point, if there is a valid one, it should have been communicated yesterday to stop dead any speculation

@_stoob I was told most just went and got changed and left. Not sure how true that is though. Just felt they had the chance to become the rebels to the Lions empire. They would instantly become everyone’s second team.

@HoopsFanUK This is a great point - I have no idea what the teams were told, either by the refs or their management, but walking the arena and acknowledging the Manchester crowd at the end would have been a great moment to galvanise that bond. As it was most of us left when the team did.

I do want to say I very much appreciate the Lions fans, and they were very impressive listening to the game on DAZN, regardless of the drama last night.

SLB Cup Final reaction is out now 🏆 London Lions come back in the second half to win it by 9. Johnson drops 30+. McGusty takes MVP. Late drama at the end… Full breakdown and all the talking points on this week’s SLB Show. 🏀 Watch here: youtu.be/7LS8Ln9ytLA?si…

@its_dooley You could hear them the whole way through.

Lions fans make me laugh only cheering or showing support when winning
