Master coach masterminds his Grand Master

MULTIPLE NBL Championship winning coach Brian Goorjian today again showed his mastery of the big occasion by drawing a record-setting performance from his occasionally wayward superstar Kendric Davis, as their Sydney Kings seized a 2-1 Grand Final lead over a desperate Adelaide.
Living rent free in Davis' mind, aftermath shifts dynamic

TO borrow a line from today's contemporary world, Bryce Cotton is living rent-free in Kendric Davis' head and unless Sydney coach Brian Goojian can exorcise KD's Cotton-demon, there's every chance Adelaide can continue to grow deeper into this NBL Championship, now locked at 1-1.
Quicksilver Cotton revives NBL Grand Final
QUICK-thinking, quick-acting, quick-as-a-flash Bryce Cotton sped along the Adelaide Entertainment Centre court for the match-winning basket tonight, moving faster than it took you to read this sentence. With his 15th point for the period, Cotton turned the NBL Grand Final back into an actual series, tying it at 1-1.

THE NBL Championship Series continues on Friday with Game 2 in the best-of-five Grand Finals so Brad Rosen and I had plenty to discuss at this week's Brad&Boti podcast. But, EVEN better, we had a special guest join the episode with South East Melbourne Phoenix's Angus Glover talking basketball with us.
Mickey Mouse media makes mountains out of mud
GET this. Apparently, according to the media, there was a "fiery aftermath" to Game 1 of the NBL Championship in Sydney on Saturday night, TV talking head Derek Rucker even describing it as "... we've got chaos in front of us." Chaos? Really? Because Nick Rakocevic refuses to shake Andrew Bogut's hand?
Shell-shocked Sixers have a slight way back
MAKE no mistake. Game 2 of the NBL Championship Series on Friday in Adelaide will be a different story to the one Sydney told so brutally on Saturday as it set a Grand Final winning margin record of 44 points over Mike Wells' overwhelmed and extremely underwhelming 36ers.
Kings crush 36er dreams in record Game 1 rout
MANY NBL fans and "experts" shook their heads in dismay when league champion and dual MVP Chris Anstey predicted the Sydney Kings would sweep Adelaide for the 2026 championship. Tonight, after the calamitous Game 1 slaughter at Qudos Bank Arena in which Tim Soares shone, those same talking heads were ducking for cover.

THE Opals have stamped their imprimatur at the FIBA World Cup qualifiers, the Sydney Kings and Adelaide 36ers will battle it out for the NBL's 2026 championship and Brad Rosen and I also talk about the death of basketball icon Ken Cole in this week's Brad&Boti podcast.

WE'VE said it all year - that Adelaide had the personnel to reach the NBL Grand Final and Sydney Kings the depth to trouble them, and now we have it - the Championship Series so many people wanted. Joey Wright and I go to work on it at our Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast.
Play it again Sami as Opals go 5-0
FORMER Adelaide Lightning WNBL import Kayla Alexander turned in a blinder for Canada at the FIBA World Cup Qualifying series in Turkey, but it still wasn't quite enough to stall the rampaging Opals, players such as Chloe Bibby relishing extended minutes in the absence of two starters.
