Coaching or interfering? Kings win anyway

In: NBL — Saturday, 30 Dec, 2023

THERE was no shortage of scratch-your-head moments last night as Sydney saw off an undisciplined Cairns 101-82, Denzel Valentine with an NBL career-best 29-point haul in 23 minutes, Kings coach Mahmoud Abdelfattah running with some weird combinations and substitution decisions.

Wildcats deliver Sixers a sack of coal

In: NBL — Friday, 29 Dec, 2023

WILDCAT superstar Bryce Cotton held the reins as his team of Grinches last night lobbed at Adelaide Entertainment Centre, dumping a sackload of coal on the 36ers before a late moment of unnecessary angst almost brought the party to an abrupt and unfortunate close.

NBL TotW12: Who owns Christmas bragging rights?

In: NBL — Thursday, 28 Dec, 2023

WITH so many games across the Christmas break - and Round 13 already underway tonight - separating teams to come up with a Round 12 Team of the Week was no mean feat, especially when quite a few teams split results, unfortunate in one game, then excellent in the other. Cairns, SEM, Illawarra, Perth, Tasmania - they all fit that bill.

NBL Rankings, Tips 13: Taipans to face United fury

In: NBL — Thursday, 28 Dec, 2023

CAIRNS smacked NBL leading United in Melbourne but it has been on a roller-coaster ride since while the Taipans' victim has been growing in stature. Casey Prather debuts for Brisbane, Mitch Creek returns for South East Melbourne. Round 13 is going to be unlucky for some.


NBL Wrap 12: Open to more such ideas

In: NBL — Wednesday, 27 Dec, 2023

MELBOURNE stole the show across NBL Round 12, its open roof overtime classic with Perth setting a standard it will be difficult to duplicate, Ian Clark's 13-point haul in the five-minute extension keeping United on track, Bryce Cotton delivering a 36-point game to leave no doubt who genuinely is the league's No.1 MVP candidate.

Stairway to Heaven or Highway to Hell?

In: NBL — Thursday, 21 Dec, 2023

THE NBL's Season 2023-24 has just passed its halfway mark - unless you're Illawarra or New Zealand - and as it heads into a daunting second phase, it's time for a Christmas review. Is your team on the Stairway to Heaven, or driving down the Highway to Hell? Chrissie cheer? Or sack of coal?

NBL Rankings, Tips 12: Bullets pray for Casey

In: NBL — Thursday, 21 Dec, 2023

DUAL-Perth NBL champion and Melbourne United title-winning import Casey Prather will be keen to change Brisbane's fortunes this season when he arrives late in Round 12 as the replacement for injured DJ Mitchell. The Bullets forward has an injured hip and will be out for the rest of the season.


Brad&Boti: We have our two-sport 'Rocky'

In: NBL, WNBL — Tuesday, 19 Dec, 2023

WE did it! Yes, no more phantom guests disappearing at recording time for our Brad&Boti podcast. This week we secured Australia's two-sport queen - AFLW best and fairest, premiership player, WNBL champion and Gold Medal winning junior - Monique Conti ... and Brad Rosen and I could not have been happier.

NBL TotW11: United, Breakers, Hawks, Wildcats, Kings! Wow

In: NBL — Tuesday, 19 Dec, 2023

SOME weeks are tougher than others, especially with Melbourne United so consistently above the pack, but also with New Zealand, Perth, Illawarra and Sydney putting in performances well worthy of our NBL Team of the Week consideration.
