Brad&Boti: Rd1 Wrapped and Rapt

THE NBL’s 2023-24 Season is underway and former Sydney Kings captain and TV broadcaster Brad Rosen and I are back with our weekly updates on how it is travelling, not to mention the WNBL coming soon! It's all on our Brad&Boti podcast and here's what's in store.
Defend the island, invade the mainland
HARD to split between Tasmania-Sydney and Melbourne-Tasmania for the NBL’s Game of the Round this week because with Scott Roth’s JackJumpers, you always know you’re going to get a committed team-first performance, win or lose.
NBL TotW1: Kings settle back on the throne
IT looked like it may have been Perth after it saw off a tenacious Tasmania, then Melbourne with its first round sweep of SEM and Adelaide. But ultimately, our Round 1 Team of the Week was the defending champion Sydney Kings.
NBL: Tom slams into 400 and Phoenix rise
WHAT an outstanding way to honour the 400th game of the ultimate Breaker, Thomas Abercrombie, by opening New Zealand’s clash with arch rival Cairns running a sweet backdoor play for the lob and slam dunk by that nation’s greatest NBL stalwart.
OK. Now the NBL is rolling
SENSATIONAL. It took until the third game of the NBL’s new season, but fans finally saw a cracker, Perth Wildcats staving off Tasmania JackJumpers 101-95, Jordan Usher delighting the 12,000-plus at RAC Arena with a club record 35-point debut at 65 per cent.

WHAT a ghastly tip-off to the NBL season. Melbourne United, shooting at a mind-numbing 35 per cent, saw off crosstown rival South East Melbourne 82-67, who, while managing to deliver a total only Aaron Fearne could love, shot the ball at an unconscionable 29 per cent. Magnificent opening night crowd, celebrity row fully in tow and Scottie Pippen along for the ride, it sure turned bumpy fast.
Here we go, here we go, here we go. NBL
NBL Season 2023-24 tips off tonight in a week the Adelaide 36ers realised they’d sacked their import, who also apparently didn’t know what everyone following the Blitz already did. Welcome to the NBL Scottie Pippen.
Taipans set for NBL-NBA debut
CAIRNS Taipans and their NBL arch rival New Zealand Breakers will continue the tradition of preseason matches against NBA opposition when they head to the US in October for games involving the Toronto Raptors, Matisse Thybulle’s Portland Trail Blazers and Washington Wizards.
Mitsubishi back in NBL driver's seat
HAVE you been following the NBL long enough to remember the "Mitsubishi Challenge"? It was some 23 years back when the motoring giant backed the game for almost a decade in Australia and - like Hungry Jack's - it is back on board as a major partner of our burgeoning league.
Sydney's 'to and fro' as Keely goes but DJ on song
IT has been a monumental day for Sydney's national league teams, with Keely Froling leaving the Flames for the rebuilding Deakin Melbourne Boomers, but DJ Hogg joining the NBL champion Kings after a break-out season at Cairns Taipans.
