NBL TotW14: Great Scott this is a tough one

In: NBL — Tuesday, 9 Jan, 2024

FIVE of the NBL's six winners out of Round 14 had their hands up to get our attention as candidates for our Team of the Week accolade, with only league-leading Melbourne - a strong winner in Sydney but then also a lonesome loser in Adelaide - not qualifying for consideration after splitting its matches.

Breakers on brink, Kings dethroned yet again

In: NBL — Monday, 8 Jan, 2024

BRISBANE yesterday drove a stake through Sydney's dreams of an NBL threepeat, reducing the Kings to mere townsfolk, after Perth shot 39 free throws to stall New Zealand's revival, speculation rampant the Breakers could fold despite last year competing in the championship series and taking it to five games.

A 31-PIECE from Milton Doyle and a 30-piece by Dejan Vasiljevic yesterday set up Tasmania and Adelaide respectively for important home wins, the 36ers celebrating the 25th anniversary of their 1999 NBL championship by donning those classic uniforms and doing what that team did too - beating a Melbourne-based league-leader.

Illawarra stays on the upward swing

In: NBL — Saturday, 6 Jan, 2024

ILLAWARRA's complete and total demolition of a woefully understrength South East Melbourne last night reduced the Phoenix into resembling an ordinary NBL1 team instead of a post-season contender, Sam Froling the clear offensive focus of these new high-flying Hawks.

United still kings of the NBL

In: NBL — Friday, 5 Jan, 2024

CONSECUTIVE 3-point third quarter makes by burgeoning benchman Tanner Krebs last night broke open United's road clash with Sydney, sending the Kings spiralling to a 16-point loss as Melbourne smashed the champs with a 35-19 third quarter which looked slightly better than it was for the home team!

NBL Rankings, Tips Rd14: Season defining

In: NBL — Thursday, 4 Jan, 2024

THERE's truly no shortage of marquee matchups in Round 14 of the NBL season, starting tonight when defending champion Sydney hosts league-leading Melbourne, but Tasmania hosting Cairns and a revival in the significance of the New Zealand-Perth rivalry also pack plenty of interest and potential entertainment. And will Casey Prather hit the floor?

NBL TotW13: Purple patch for Kings and Goorj

In: NBL — Wednesday, 3 Jan, 2024

IT'S out there now. Boomers Olympic mentor and six-time NBL championship master Brian Goorjian is on the record saying he is available to coach domestically next season. The Sydney Kings - where he coached three straight championship teams - will be celebrating, although maybe not current head coach Mahmoud Abdelfattah.

Breaker Breaker good buddy as JJs squawk

In: NBL — Tuesday, 2 Jan, 2024

JUST exactly how Tasmania lost this one to New Zealand is difficult to comprehend. The JackJumpers won the boards 43-35, they dished 20 assists to 15 and made 16-of-30 3-point attempts, Sean MacDonald having a career day sticking 7-of-9 dialling long distance.

In: NBL — Monday, 1 Jan, 2024

CAIRNS sent 2023 into mothballs with a second resounding win over NBL leader and championship favourite Melbourne, Illawarra continuing its rapid rise under interim coach Justin Tatum by schooling Adelaide in front of a roaring sold-out New Year's Eve crowd in Wollongong.

Browned off, Bullets shoot down Phoenix

In: NBL — Sunday, 31 Dec, 2023

FROM the opening tip and Nathan Sobey's dunk within four seconds, it immediately was evident Brisbane was meaning business against another playoff wannabe in South East Melbourne, and the Bullets blazed on to a comfortable win, aided by Gary Browne's "moment of madness" and Sobey continuing on to 35 points.
