Book-end Hawks in revised NBL Rd10
ILLAWARRA Hawks will book-end seven games of NBL action in Round 10, starting tonight against last-placed New Zealand before concluding on Monday against Final Four candidate South East Melbourne, the schedule revised today due to COVID-related health and safety protocols.
B&B: You think you know me. JC has an edge
COLLEAGUE Brad Rosen and I knew our interview guest this week would be excellent but he was even better than we anticipated. If you thought you knew JASON CADEE, you're about to learn a lot more about him on this week's Brad&Boti podcast. Jason is one of the NBL's most intriguing ballers.
TOTW Rd9: Jumping for joy, and not on report
THIS round's NBL Team of the Week truly was a toss up between two teams - the Sydney Kings for their ruthless evisceration of the mighty Perth Wildcats or those lovable Tasmania JackJumpers winning at home over Adelaide, and away over New Zealand. That first win sure brought the best out of TJJ coach Scott Roth.
NBL9: Silly Sunday buzz for long shot punters
HAS there been a silly Sunday like this one? It started in Adelaide where the 36ers, on a three-loss streak including on the road to Tasmania, ended Melbourne's winning run before Sydney whacked Perth, and the JackJumpers stomped on New Zealand's aspirations at a late run on the NBL Final Four, Josh Magette presenting a masterclass.
Bob's Corner: Classic Clips and James 'does a Magic'

BOB'S CORNER: This week, US correspondent and former import Bob Craven watched as the LA Clippers did something a wee bit phenomenal in the NBA, LeBron James revisited some Magic Lakers history, WNBA superstar Breanna Stewart rocked Seattle and a new scoring record was set in NCAA women's Division 1 play. He's got it all...
NBL Round 9 is all in
HERE we go, here we go, here we go! At long last it's time for NBL Round 9! Let's face it, for a while there it looked as if Round 8 would never end. Someone at headquarters deserves an unsportsmanlike foul! Meantime, here we go with a big challenge for Brian Goorjian's Hawks at home again to Perth.
B&B: Just a coupla fogies talking NBL/WNBL
WE scoured the countryside this week in search of a guest for our weekly Brad&Boti podcast and came up shamelessly empty. It forced Brad Rosen and I to actually have a more in-depth look at the latest goings on in our WNBL and NBL comps and in the end, we quite enjoyed it! Hopefully, you do too!
Eight is enough: NBL round done
NBL Round 8 closed on a potentially sour note when referee Jacqui Dover called United's Matthew Dellavedova for an off-the-ball unsportsmanlike foul after he pushed past Brisbane's Lamar Patterson with 3:18 left in a tense final period. Even the fact it was downgraded to an offensive foul was ridiculous.
TOTW Rd8: The long and winding road
THIS was a long round with a whole lot happening and some teams going in to bat two and even three times, making selection of our NBL Team of the Week particularly challenging. Three teams stood out though, Melbourne, South East Melbourne and Perth all confirming they are hard nuts.
Finally, it's Goodnight Round 8: NBL
ROUND 8 of the NBL's COVID-interrupted season mercifully will close after tonight's Cairns-South East Melbourne rumble and tomorrow's Australia Day battle between Brisbane and Melbourne. The good news for the Taipans is they are back on the floor and Tahjere McCall will be among them.
