SHE is Australian basketball's G.O.A.T. - Greatest Of All Time - and even at 42, you had to know those competitive instincts would kick in for a WNBL semi final Game 3 decider. With 38 points and 11 rebounds, she absolutely dominated proceedings as only she can, Southside beating Melbourne 93-77.
Time off or time now? Hawks face a challenge

HAS the FIBA break and wait on the "play-in tournament - a.k.a the top six eliminations - taken the edge off regular season champion Melbourne as it prepares for tonight's opening salvo of its semi final series against Justin Robinson and the surging Illawarra Hawks?
Flyers can expect G.O.A.T. to bump Boomers to oblivion
MELBOURNE Boomers fans, be warned. If your team beats Southside tonight in Game 3 of the WNBL's semi final series, it will need to stop the G.O.A.T., Lauren Jackson to do it. Remember what happened at the FIBA World Cup in 2022 when, at 41, she thought she was playing her last international?

THE WNBL and NBL playoffs are in full swing and there is news galore right across basketball so this week on the Brad&Boti podcast with Sydney Kings stalwart Brad Rosen, we focused on the events and news of the past few days, ahead of tonight's Southside-Melbourne semi final.
King Brian rules as Patty feels the Heat

The Brave and the Bold - Hawks advance
THE ILLAWARRA Hawks last night won an outstanding KO NBL playoff game over an incredibly durable and resilient NZ Breakers outfit to keep alive their fairytale-like story by advancing to the best-of-three semi final series against Melbourne, Justin Robinson perfect from the stripe.

IS there enough petrol left in the NZ Breakers' tank to take down Illawarra tonight in Wollongong and then actually give regular season NBL champion Melbourne anything of a semi final series? The answer lies in two hyphenated names - Jackson-Cartwright and McDowell-White.
Fire swept aside by Lynx blitz
A WEEK ago the Perth Lynx were sweating on the result of the regular season's last game, barracking for WNBL champion Townsville to eliminate Sydney so they could make a stunning eleventh hour Final Four appearance. Today those same Lynx literally were putting out the Fire, sweeping the champs 2-0 in their semi final series.
Yeah, Naz as Boomers bolt to Game 3 semi
ON the cusp of elimination, down Opals Olympian Sara Blicavs (leg) for the rest of the season and Tall Ferns centre Penina Davidson (calf), Melbourne not only dug deep but practically buried Southside 88-67 in Game 2 of their WNBL best-of-three semi final series, Naz Hillmon perfect from the floor.
BOB'S CORNER: Victor mowing them down
BOB'S CORNER: Our man on the spot in the US, Seattle-based former Canberra import BOB CRAVEN, has taken a good hard look at the man threatening to revolutionise the NBA's San Antonio Spurs, 224cm Victor Wembanyama, who lately is putting up Kareem Abdul-Jabbar numbers.
