Why does the NBL need an "Indigenous Round"?
THE NBL's more recent innovation of an "Indigenous Round" is a step I fully understand and completely endorse, even though there is a way our league could do it better. Our sport doesn't need an Indigenous Round the way the AFL does, for example.
TOTW Rd15: I See Red, I See Red, I See Red
LOOK out doom predictors and naysayers. The Perth Wildcats are back, winning road games in Melbourne, Brisbane and Hobart, maybe even saving their best for last in that epic overtime extravaganza against New Zealand where "you-know-who" stepped up to save the day. Bryce time? Perth time.
NBL Rd.15: Wow. Wildcats back in business
THREE massive road wins including toppling the NBL leaders and defending champs and an overtime conclusion has Perth Wildcats already back in serious championship contention, and that's ahead of nine home games at The Jungle to close their regular season.
NBL Rd15: Triple threat for Wildcats
PERTH generally is being hailed as one of the more likely teams to contest the NBL playoffs, given its favourable run of home games to come. But at 10-6, three road games this round easily could throw Bryce Cotton's team back into the mix and on the precipice of finals spectator status.
TOTW Rd14: Finally back on a flyer
THEY started this NBL season with an improved lineup - on paper - compared to last season when the game's coaching GOAT, Brian Goorjian, dragged them back into playoffs, and they were very popular among pundits for a championship run. But as the season has worn on, Illawarra has looked worn out.
NBL Rd.14: Wildcats, Hawks under the pump
PERENNIAL powerhouse Perth has a chance to again flex its muscles in NBL Round 14 while Illawarra has a shot at revealing whether it truly has turned the corner against playoffs-bound South East Melbourne. And yes, despite challengers, Bryce Cotton is still the MVP favourite.
TOTW Rd13: Phenomenal win scores prize
IT took some phenomenal play and key free throws down the stretch for South East Melbourne Phoenix to outlast a fast-finishing Perth Wildcats crew and in the process snare the club's second Team of the Week accolade, as NBL Round 13 threw up a raft of erratic results.
NBL Rd13: The wheat is sorted from the chaff
OKAY, no more ill-informed or wishful thinking nonsense. NBL Round 13 WAS unlucky for some, most notably Adelaide, but fans of the 36ers, Bullets, Taipans and Breakers can settle down and accept their clubs will not be participating in the post-season. This round sorted the wheat from the chaff.
B&B: We're just giddy about Warrick
WE'VE had our share of great guests - current and blasts from the past - on our regular Brad&Boti podcast featuring Brad Rosen and myself. But this week we have a bit of both, strolling through the great career of Warrick Giddey and touching also on one or two of his star offspring.
NBL Rd13: Unlucky for some
A COUPLE of clubs still masquerading as Final Four contenders should have a very clear indication of where they are going - or not going - after NBL Round 13 concludes with eight challenging matches, perennial power Perth under the gun. Coach Scott Morrison has been in the firing line, probably unfairly, but the pressure is building.
