GLASGOW HEEDING WAKE-UP CALL

By Mark Woods on October 13, 2010

Nick Livas has claimed that Glasgow Rocks have to take heed of their latest wake-up call and stop sleep-walking on the court if their new-look line-up are to challenge for the BBL title.

The American guard admits his side were embarrassed to give up 96 points in Sundayâ€™s defeat to Guildford Heat.

And although the Kelvin Hall outfit are just two games into the league campaign, Livas admits the Rocks need to stop the rot or risk a long cold winter.

â€œThis year so far, itâ€™s been a tale of two teams for us,â€ he said.

â€œWe either come out energised and play that way the whole game. Or, as in our two losses, we come out flat and let the other team get away. You donâ€™t want to dig a hole for yourself because itâ€™s hard to get out of it, especially against good teams. Itâ€™s tough.â€

The Rocks travel to winless Newcastle Eagles on Friday.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
