Geelong set to swoop on vacant WNBL license
BASKETBALL Australia, in its capacity as the management of the WNBL, is caught in a dilemma with the imminent loss of 40-year-old Melbourne (formerly Bulleen) Boomers and approach from a Geelong-based consortium willing to take up the license, keeping the league at eight teams.

THE WNBL has crowned its 2023-24 champion and Melbourne has a 1-0 lead on Tasmania in the NBL Championship Series as former Sydney Kings assistant coach Brad Rosen and I thrash it all out in this week's Brad&Boti podcast, and we're not pulling any punches.
Record rout as Southside wins in a flyer
THEY had the Rolls Royce of Australian basketball, then watched a Mercedes drive off with the Rachael Sporn Medal as Southside left Perth choking on its fumes in Game 3 of the WNBL Grand Final Series, the Flyers' claiming their second crown but fifth overall including their history as Dandenong Rangers.
'Great escape' as Flyers send Final to a decider
A LITERAL last-gasp basket by Southside import Mercedes Russell last night forced the WNBL Grand Final Series to a deciding third game on Sunday in Melbourne as the Flyers flew the Perth coup 97-95 winners, barely escaping the desperate final minutes after leading all night.

THE WNBL already is into its Grand Final Series, Perth owning a 1-0 lead in the Best-of-3 Final. But the NBL settles its issues in a double-header basketball bonanza of Game 3 semi final deciders tonight, and Brad Rosen and I are down for it at our Brad&Boti podcast.
That well? Yep. Atwell did that well and better!
PERTH Lynx are one win away from claiming only the club's second WNBL championship and first since women's basketball legends Tom Maher, Michele Timms and Robyn Maher clinched the 1992 crown after Amy Atwell and crew today blew Southside off its home Melbourne floor 101-79.

SHE is Australian basketball's G.O.A.T. - Greatest Of All Time - and even at 42, you had to know those competitive instincts would kick in for a WNBL semi final Game 3 decider. With 38 points and 11 rebounds, she absolutely dominated proceedings as only she can, Southside beating Melbourne 93-77.
Flyers can expect G.O.A.T. to bump Boomers to oblivion
MELBOURNE Boomers fans, be warned. If your team beats Southside tonight in Game 3 of the WNBL's semi final series, it will need to stop the G.O.A.T., Lauren Jackson to do it. Remember what happened at the FIBA World Cup in 2022 when, at 41, she thought she was playing her last international?

THE WNBL and NBL playoffs are in full swing and there is news galore right across basketball so this week on the Brad&Boti podcast with Sydney Kings stalwart Brad Rosen, we focused on the events and news of the past few days, ahead of tonight's Southside-Melbourne semi final.
Fire swept aside by Lynx blitz
A WEEK ago the Perth Lynx were sweating on the result of the regular season's last game, barracking for WNBL champion Townsville to eliminate Sydney so they could make a stunning eleventh hour Final Four appearance. Today those same Lynx literally were putting out the Fire, sweeping the champs 2-0 in their semi final series.
