Fire swept aside by Lynx blitz

In: WNBL — Monday, 4 Mar, 2024

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.

Yeah, Naz as Boomers bolt to Game 3 semi

In: WNBL — Sunday, 3 Mar, 2024

ON the cusp of elimination, down Opals Olympian Sara Blicavs (leg) for the rest of the season and Tall Ferns centre Penina Davidson (calf), Melbourne not only dug deep but practically buried Southside 88-67 in Game 2 of their WNBL best-of-three semi final series, Naz Hillmon perfect from the floor.

BOB'S CORNER: Victor mowing them down

In: NBA — Saturday, 2 Mar, 2024

BOB'S CORNER: Our man on the spot in the US, Seattle-based former Canberra import BOB CRAVEN, has taken a good hard look at the man threatening to revolutionise the NBA's San Antonio Spurs, 224cm Victor Wembanyama, who lately is putting up Kareem Abdul-Jabbar numbers.

Ta-ta Abdelfattah, as Hawks waive Patty

In: NBL, NBA — Friday, 1 Mar, 2024

WHEN large numbers of your home crowd stick around to chant "sack the coach" and your team is eliminated by an under-strength but hardy foe in the playoffs first round, saying you're already planning for next year was a stretch for cut Kings coach Mahmoud Abdelfattah, waived the same day as Aussie icon Patty Mills.

Big Mac fries Townsville as Perth go 1-0

In: WNBL — Friday, 1 Mar, 2024

IMPORT Aari McDonald scored Perth's first basket last night in Townsville and also its last, cementing an 88-87 Game 1 win in their best-of-three WNBL semi final. In between, the dynamic playmaker scored 22 points and dished nine assists, stunning the 2,341 fans at the Firepit.


Unbreakable, NZ the lionhearts and Ants on the march

In: NBL — Thursday, 29 Feb, 2024

NO Anthony Lamb. Will McDowell-White playing hurt and fouling out. Zylan Cheatham hurt, then rolling an ankle, then returning to play hurt, Mantas Rubstavicius tossed out of the game. Finn Delany a shadow of himself. Jaysus. What else did these careless Kings need to show heart? Didn't matter. Parker Jackson-Cartwright had all the answers.

Southside on the fly as stars sparkle

In: WNBL — Thursday, 29 Feb, 2024

SOUTHSIDE veteran and Australian basketball's G.O.A.T. Lauren Jackson turned back the clock to lead her team to a 1-0 best-of-three WNBL semi final series lead over Melbourne, but unsung import Jasmine Dickey was the X-factor the Boomers did not calculate, scoring 16 points.


WNBL semi, when size really does matter

In: WNBL — Wednesday, 28 Feb, 2024

THERE is a very strong likelihood Melbourne Boomers beating Southside Flyers for the Michele Timms Trophy will be the club's only comfort as the best-of-three WNBL semi final series unfolds from tonight, Penina Davidson (calf injury) a massive out for the Purple.

Jackies-Hawks, Kings-Breakers launch playoffs tonight

In: NBL — Wednesday, 28 Feb, 2024

WATCHING Tasmania and Illawarra do battle in the 3rd v 4th NBL "play-in" playoff today is going to be difficult because both are favourites, competing in the way basketball should be contested and featuring sideline mentors Scott Roth and Justin Tatum who actually know what they want from their teams.

FRIEND of the show and now Adelaide 36ers' NBL coach for the next two seasons, Brad Rosen and I were pumped to welcome back Scott Ninnis for this week's Brad&Boti podcast, and if you're a long-suffering Sixers fan - that last championship was 22 years ago - this is an interview you will want to hear.
