We can’t underestimate them - Smith

"You definitely can’t underestimate the teams towards the bottom of the table,” he told Bristol Flyers TV.

“They have noting to lose and they’re going to come out and play as hard as they can. When they match up against teams like us they tend to play a lot harder.

"Leeds are going to come in with a lot of intensity and focus - they don’t have as much talent as some of the teams in the BBL, but they’re going to play hard and we need to come out and match that intensity.

"Manchester are going to have some great fan support and it’s going to be a tough environment. 

Following last week’s results, Flyers have already guaranteed their winningest league campaign since joining the top flight in 2014.

Smith continued: “It's very pleasing to be back in the play-offs for another year and hopefully we’ll go further than we did last year.

"You always want to end up with a record above .500. It just goes to show the hard work and dedication that the team have putting in this season.

"We’ve been selling out games since the start of the season and every time we speak to the fans they always tell us they’re definitely going to come back.

"It’s a really great environment and I’m yet to hear anybody say that they didn't enjoy a game, so I’m not surprised that it’s another sellout this weekend."
