What We Learnt #6 Time to blow the whistle
DAMN! We learnt plenty this round and not only that this so-called "unprecedented" series of blow-outs is just the usual blowhard BS exposed again for what it is, four of the eight games won by a point. But what we also learnt, without equivocation, is that our NBL officials have no accountability - zero, zip, nada.
Sunday miracles as Marshall, Walker fire up winners
TYSON Walker, working tirelessly throughout his time on court defending NBL lead scorer Bryce Cotton in the top-of-the-table showdown today in Melbourne, captured his own slice of history when he sank the corner threeball that in turn sank the 36ers, keeping United's undefeated record intact at 9-0.
Javale prevails as Hawks escape Perth
JAVALE McGee tonight secured a pulsating 85-84 victory for Illawarra in Perth which went down to the wire and concluded with him blocking a corner shot from Jesse Wagstaff, one of the Wildcats' unsung heroes in a game which looked destined for overtime with 1.2 seconds left.
Hunters dethrone Kings as Breakers blow it
NATHAN Sobey led brilliantly from the front with 33 points, 5 assists and 5 boards as South East humbled Sydney on top of a sizzling come-from-beyond - and that's from waaay behind - win by Brisbane over New Zealand in Auckland where Lamar Patterson scored the winning bucket in an 84-83 great escape.
Torpedoed! Admiral fires up when war over
CAIRNS' Admiral Schofield last night reduced himself to a petty officer with his unwarranted post-game antics after Perth sank his team by 32 points, claiming all seven Ignite Cup points in a third embarrassing 30-plus defeat for the Taipans who are missing more than Jack McVeigh and Sam Waardenburg.

WHAT a fabulous start the WNBL shot off to as all four Round 1 games were claimed by road warriors, there were great turn-outs for the matches and meanwhile the NBL was setting records, as Brad Rosen and I discuss at this week's Brad&Boti podcast.
Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: Refs, you've gotta be kidding

WE'RE bringing you our Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast with Joey Wright and I earlier in the week as of this week, so look for us on Tuesday mornings (or maybe even occasionally Monday nights) while here we weigh in on some appalling officiating in NBL Round 5 and much more.
What We Learnt #5 ... and who is Pesticide?
WOW! What we learnt from Round 5 is what we've all known or suspected for years since Scott Butler has been at the helm of the NBL referees - never have they, as a collective, been worse. And that's saying something. Where are the Bill Mildenhall, Ray Hunt, Mal Cooper, Geoff Weeks types now who umpired with common sense?
G.O.A.T. ousted in new NBL reffing low
SYDNEY Kings mentor and four-time Australian Olympic coach Brian Goorjian - indisputably the G.O.A.T. of NBL coaching - today was sensationally ejected late in the third quarter from the clash with Perth in one of the more heinous acts of overly officious officiating in recent memory.
Dynamic duo back to raise WNBL hell
TWO of the WNBL's all-time superstars, Sara Blicavs and Lauren Nicholson, returned to open the 2025-26 season with match-winning performances before Abbey Ellis saved title favourite Townsville with a career-high 31 points in the road win at Bendigo, adding 10 boards and four assists in a super performance.
