If you change your mind, let me know. I have a spare ticket going for people who want to test it out and see what it's all about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 12 hours ago, TBW said: Not sure "guru" is the word but I'll drop a little bit into the mix! Bristol Flyers and Worcester Wolves are both very capable of beating one another, neither team is streaks ahead of the other and have played each other multiple times already this season. Previous results are: - Bristol Flyers 94 Worcester Wolves 96 - Worcester Wolves 74 Bristol Flyers 70 - Bristol Flyers 81 Worcester Wolves 66 The three main players to look out for on each team are: - BRI - Gentrey Thomas (#0) - BRI - Fred Thomas (#3) - BRI - Raphell Thomas-Edwards (#10) - WOR - Amir Williams (#1) - WOR - Jordan Williams (#6) - WOR - Cortez Edwards (#10) (Yes you saw the name Thomas 3 times, Edwards 2 times and Williams 2 times. It's be nice to have a Thomas Williams-Edwards in the game too but alas, there is not.) Likely non-factors in the game will be: - BRI - Marvin Dinnall, Jordan Nicholls, Panos Mayindombe. - WOR - Julius van Sauers, Wayne Kitenge. The game could ultimately be won/lost between the teams "bigs", I know the majority of you find all of them big as they're mostly over 6'0", but the biggest guys on the court. Amir Williams (WOR) can be particularly dominant under the basket and against Leicester Riders, Marcus Delpeche (BRI) had trouble against a dominant player of similar mould. Daniel Edozie (BRI) though was missing for that Leicester game so Delpeche had to play significant time against the guy. If Delpeche can fix what he struggled with against Leicester on the defensive end then that's one problem down. Amir Williams will score, just try to limit that scoring. Worcester aren't a deep team. They don't have a LOT of players and as such their team will play a lot of time without rest. This needs to be taken advantage of. Especially when Martaan Bouwknecht (WOR) is on the court as when he has a bad day, he has a really bad day... He recently put up a 29-point game but that is a complete one-off. The guy isn't good for 20+ per game regularly. Hound this guy for the ball and he'll make mistakes. Otherwise, Jordan Williams (WOR) is quietly very good, he'll get lots of stats to his name without you realising and then suddenly you just go "oh shit, he's having a good game!" and it's too late. Cortez Edwards (WOR) is a bit like Gentrey Thomas (BRI). He'll drive, he'll shoot. He'll do what he wants. You'll have to do a matchday thread for it!

Maybe their experience of being in finals before helped them as they certainly settled better. We were always behind and although we clawed the game back to touching distance a few times we never got ahead, that has to affect you mentally. Good game though and players and fans should be proud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 It was a poor game from the Flyers to be fair. Not a great showcase for the sport. Guarantee more fun watching them in a league game (and definately more fun watching the Flyers than watching one of the London NBA games which was awful. (What a waste of money that was).

We kept Jordan Williams to 5 points, and if you asked me pre-game, I would’ve said had we done that we would win easily. However the other Williams (Amir) had an fantastic game at both ends and was rightly MVP. We showed good fight and took the game all the way, but I don’t think we ever looked like winning. Good day out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good day out though. Our shooting game was way off today - especially from the 3 and when you don't make your shots you're always going to struggle. The best part of our game was fighting back to almost tie it a few times but we were always second best. Even worse news today that over shadows the whole event is the tragic news about Kobe Bryant.
