@HoopsFanUK Agree 100%, exactly what I said to people yesterday.

And nobody complains if they increase their spend next year to even the playing field. They also come out to a huge home crowd & encourage people to come watch their home games, galvanising the fan base. Instead they disappear & don’t even use the chance to say thank you. Bizarre

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 …

What?

@JohnHobbsTB I don't disagree with the rivalry aspect at all. But to not come back out to at least applaud the Manchester crowd is very disrespectful and deprived the media of pics, interviews of the home team

@leopardman365 There probably will be repercussions. But this is what British basketball needs. An actual rivalry.

Manchester Basketball didn’t come out to receive their runners up medals with only a few players returning as Kam McGusty collected his MVP award.

@ThomasFeaheny @NickMurphy1995 interesting stat

The record remains for another year as no team promoted from Non-League has been relegated from the Football League in the next season, since automatic promotions began at the start of the 1986-87 campaign now at 59 clubs

@leewilsonDRFC Felt like a cup game towards the end. Grit and passion

It was so nice to see a Daggers team give it a go. Recruitment in the summer to give us more quality will be key but that was the energy needed. Small detail but loved us leaving 2 up on corners too. #yfd

@lfg_uk Nimby's

Is this acceptable? Since 1990, Spain has built nearly 7,000 miles of motorway. So ... what about the UK? We have built 422 miles of motorway in 35 years. 35 years – 422 miles. Thats only twelve miles every year. Why have we stopped building?

@dan_routledge Impressively quick stat Dan

30:38 (Chaundee Brown Jr) is the fewest minutes played to lead a team in minutes played in an overtime game in the livestats era. Previous low was 30:58 by Gabe Olaseni in London's 109-104 OT win v Newcastle in Oct 2023

@dan_routledge Dumb

How do you not box the shooter on a deliberate miss?

@DaveAnt122141 Hell of a shooter

Kino Lilley might just be my favourite player in the league right now

@leewilsonDRFC @KSI Of those 4, Kevin Nolan for me.

If only Victoria Road was this big... Big thread looking at the candidates for the Daggers next manager. 8pm tonight. @KSI #COYD

@LondonLions @mcrbball @SprLeagueBballM Copper Box?🙄

@saintpat1962 @LondonLions @SprLeagueBballM In the locker room.

@saintpat1962 @LondonLions @SprLeagueBballM Watching Caledonia game. Player goes down in the paint and given a flop warning. He stays down holding his head and the offence continues around him, shots missed, play goes down the other end, missed shot, only then do refs stop the game. Player goes straight to get attention

So I've watched a perfectly good game of basketball that @LondonLions won easily & my over-riding thoughts are for the yet again poor officiating, which is easily fixed if @SprLeagueBballM actually acted professionally and appointed the best refs they can to the games!

@DaveAnt122141 I never understand why he just stands there with his hands in his pockets seemingly without a care in the world

Why isn't Atiba calling a time out 😱

@NLootin @saintpat1962 @LondonLions Surely its not the refs responsibility to ensure shorts sponsorship can be seen. I agree about consistency between officials but ensuring shirts tucked in is just about bottom of the list in my priorities for british basketball.

@saintpat1962 @LondonLions It’s driven me mad for seasons. I paid a lot of money to be a back of shorts sponsor and it contributed to me not doing it again. The teams and officials need to understand the commercial element to it.

Whilst overall the officiating at last night's @LondonLions game was better(it had very little to live up to!) & whilst I don't care if the players have their shirts tucked in or not, you can't have one ref telling a player to tuck his shirt in & another totally

@Bwlch1 @FoyChris Available where?

@FoyChris Are you on commission ?

Wales v Italy in Cardiff on Saturday - tickets available from £40 for adults; great deal to watch reviving home side & their free-scoring prop star, Rhys Carre + best Italian team for years (maybe ever?). Worth paying that and more just to witness the brilliance of Menoncello.

@dan_routledge Cheers. 50-50 at ht. I remember the days when Euro games were defensive masterclasses

@leopardman365 Yeah enbl

Do or die in Manchester for ENBL last 16 tie, Manchester v Dubrava 🎙🏀

@LondonLions @SprLeagueBballM @Tsabonis11 Good to see pretty much the whole squad in practice kit

Back to basics! 👀🦁 #WeAreLondon
