Brad&Boti: C'ship Round-Up, Opals, Boomers, Case!

WOW! Just wow! Both Brad Rosen and I leapt off our respective couches when Jack McVeigh nailed that match-winner to give Tasmania Game 3 of the NBL Championship over Melbourne but for our Brad&Boti podcast, we didn't forget Game 2 or the Opals and Boomers.
Why Jack's jack is the Greatest of All Time

WE'VE all seen them - the miracle shots that win games and lift us out of our seats with exultation, and the pure unadulterated bliss of witnessing the divine in sport. They've been around since James Naismith nailed up the peach baskets, but in NBL history, none rival Jack McVeigh's Sunday special.
Greatest shot in NBL history clinches Game 3
JACK McVEIGH today hit the most massive shot of his NBL career, arguably the second biggest shot in NBL history, to give Tasmania a 93-91 road win over Melbourne, scorching the JackJumpers - fuelled by Majok Deng's 15-point final period - to a 2-1 Championship Series lead.
Ants swarm to spoil Melbourne's picnic plans
TASMANIA turned the tables on Melbourne United in Game 2 of the best-of-five NBL Grand Finals tonight in Hobart, the JackJumpers giving them a devilish time, Jack McVeigh leading the way with 16 points, eight rebounds, four assists and a block in a series-tying 82-77 win.
Grand Final G2, Season reviewed, as we pod on
HAD the pleasure of joining Jovial Joseph Corr and Angst-ridden Andrew Canion for an "NBL Forum" focusing on the Melbourne-Tasmania Grand Finals, the season in review and quite a bit more at the NBL Pocket Podcast. Who were the successes and who were the busts of 2023-24?

THE WNBL has crowned its 2023-24 champion and Melbourne has a 1-0 lead on Tasmania in the NBL Championship Series as former Sydney Kings assistant coach Brad Rosen and I thrash it all out in this week's Brad&Boti podcast, and we're not pulling any punches.
United stands and it's hit the road, Jackies
MELBOURNE flexed its NBL Championship muscles today, inflicting a virtual go-to-whoa tale of woe on Tasmania in Game 1 of the best-of-five Grand Final, Chris Goulding leading a long-range missile bombardment which sent the JackJumpers down into the bunker in a smouldering 104-81 heap.
Then there were two, United, Jackies for the crown
MELBOURNE versus Tasmania for the NBL crown. It's the best-of-five Grand Final Series most craved - other than the stampede of fans Illawarra corralled during its extraordinary season and post-season, or anyone living in Western Australia. Shea Ili and Jack McVeigh ensured we'd get it.

THE WNBL already is into its Grand Final Series, Perth owning a 1-0 lead in the Best-of-3 Final. But the NBL settles its issues in a double-header basketball bonanza of Game 3 semi final deciders tonight, and Brad Rosen and I are down for it at our Brad&Boti podcast.
The odds don't look great for underdogs
SHOULD it really be a surprise come NBL playoffs time that suddenly a number of factors fall the way of our Melbourne, Perth or Sydney-based clubs? They run marquee programs in our biggest cities, regularly drawing five-figure attendances. Places such as Hobart or Wollongong can't match that.
