Hawks' NBL season already on the brink
.jpeg)
AN import cut, a treasure trove of injuries, role confusion, no defensive fortitude and shambolick offence - welcome to Week 2 of the NBL season for the Illawarra Hawks, crushed today by historic arch rival Sydney as its championship MVP Kendric Davis ran riot for 31 points and six assists.
That old Wag steps up to show the way
JESSE Wagstaff is 40 years old, and then some, but Perth fans should be genuflecting in awe their six-time NBL champion and games-played record-holder decided to play on in Season 2026-27. For the second time in consecutive games, his contribution has pushed the Wildcats home, first over Adelaide and tonight New Zealand.
Supermax flies his own way to the top
SON of a gun Max Mackinnon tonight declared himself a superstar in waiting - and not waiting too long - with a "Supermax" performance, posting 31-point and 12-rebound NBL career highs while steering Brisbane past Illawarra 103-95, the Bullets off to a rare 2-0 season start.
36ers didn't book on Elijah
BARELY midway through Round 2 of NBL 2026-27 and Perth's Elijah Pepper tonight conjured the most amazing shot of the season, a 3-point banker under extreme pressure from Adelaide's Bryce Cotton in his milestone 300th game, securing a stunning 98-97 win for the Wildcats.
Brad&Boti: Playing again Sami? Plus NBL Rd1

SEASON 2026-27 is underway for the NBL and Brad Rosen saw plenty in Round 1 for us to thrash out at this week's Brad&Boti podcast. Of course we didn't forget the women either, wrapping the WNBL's preseason series in Townsville and offering some interesting breaking news re our Opals captain.
Welcome to worst non-call in NBL history
WITHOUT any shadow of a doubt, that non-call when Cairns' Keanu Pinder openly mugged Tasmania's Dakota Mathias at the end of their NBL thriller tonight easily was the single most heinous, obvious, blatant miscarriage of justice I have seen since the league launched in 1979.
Harness Arnas and Bullets will be firing
LOOK Out! When the Brisbane Bullets work out how to fully harness import Arnas Velicka, not only will his Batman-and-Robin one-two punch with centre Tyrell Harrison wreak havoc, but Will Weaver's list of quality cameo comrades also will flourish across NBL 2026-27.
Disruptive foul instead a historic clanger
WHAT a fiasco! The NBL's historic first ever "disruptive foul" call in the wake of the unsportsmanlike foul going the way of the dodo, turned into a total farce when it was clear the three American refs calling the Tasmania-South East game were clueless as to how to proceed.
Tassie's DJ hums a winning tune
JUST when it appeared as if South East Melbourne's Angus Glover was about to produce an NBL career game, Tasmania's returning David Johnson bobbed up to remind everyone why last season the JackJumpers' import duo was rated among the league's finest, until injury cut them down.
Yo 36ers. That's what REAL coaching looks like
NO Isaac Humphries (knee), no John Jenkins (back), Flynn Cameron leaving the game injured. If Mike Wells still was at the helm of the 36ers, Adelaide last night would have been humiliated by United in Melbourne. Trevor Gleeson? Come on down. That, 36ers fans, is what a real coach looks like.
