Brad&Boti: History and misery a mix of the past week
BRAD&BOTI: So much went on this past week in both the NBL and WNBL that it was hard for Brad&Boti podcast colleague Brad Rosen and I to even know where to start. Do we want to talk about new WNBL history? Or do we cover some NBL misery? Guess what? We did both.
WNBL: Short wait for Geelong to make history
GEELONG United last night not only produced a masterful performance to claim its historic first WNBL victory, claiming the giant-sized scalp of defending champion Southside 90-87, but did it without import centre Lynetta Kizer and back-up big Daniel Raber, captain Keely Froling and Haley Jones leading the way.
Brad&Boti: WNBL rolling, NBL balling, Tips appalling
BRAD&BOTI: What did we learn from Round 1 of the WNBL season and who are the new surprise packets in the NBL? Sydney multi-media mogul Brad Rosen and I sit down again this week for a thorough review of what just occurred and what is to come in our Brad&Boti podcast.

If you love basketball, tune in to WNBA Game 5
THERE may have been a better WNBA Championship Series than the one Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty are currently providing, but it would take some time to remember which, this epic best-of-five series tied at 2-2 and with an Australian sure to finish it as a champion.
Brad&Boti: Top Six or Pick up Sticks?
IT was another huge round for the NBL with Cairns Taipans, minus Taran Armstrong and Tanner Groves, brought right back to the field by Perth and Sydney, Brad&Boti podcast colleague Brad Rosen at that game and also to see Illawarra humble Tasmania.
NBL: There is still a lot to like
YES, terrible and self-indulgent TV commentary aside, there was much to enjoy about last round's NBL fixtures, so after last week's blog, let's say turnabout is fair play. There was plenty that resonated (and still much that doesn't) but let's stay positive and open, starting with Justin Tatum.
NBL? Non-stop Bullshit League
A HUMBLE thank you to all the readers who sent emails, texts, DMs etc querying the lack of activity at this site lately but there are reasons. One, I have a project I'm working on but two, I am having serious difficulty handling all the bullshit constantly being spewed about the game.
