NBL TotW10: Toughest week yet to find winner
THREE performances stood out above all others in NBL Round 10, making our Team of the Week a tough call between Perth pulveriser Illawarra, New Zealand negators Tasmania, and Sydney smashers South East Melbourne. This was an agonising condundrum!
Aussie pair shine, closing NBL round
ROUND 10 of NBL 2023-24 concluded yesterday with a "day out" for two outstanding Australian stars, first Chris Goulding in unstoppable fashion setting up Melbourne's rout of Brisbane, then Mitch Creek leading a depleted South East Melbourne into Sydney and dethroning the Kings.
Breakers screwed as usual, Sixers old habits
MINUS superstar import Milton Doyle, Tasmania still turned the tables - and the screws - on New Zealand in Auckland but it was no fairytale finish for interim 36ers coach Scott Ninnis in Adelaide, Cairns overwhelming his team with a decisive 31-17 final quarter avalanche.
Wow! Hawks pluck eyes out of Wildcats
ILLAWARRA last night produced arguably its best NBL performance in about a decade when it smashed Perth 100-82 in Wollongong, Sam Froling leading the rout which started with a crushing 38-18 first quarter that included him scoring 11 points inside the first five minutes.
Cummings and Goings in a Big Friday
IT'S been a truly bizarre 24 hours with more emerging from inside the Adelaide 36ers' club issues, a power outage crashing the Cairns-Sydney game, import Will Cummings sacked by South East Melbourne and training session video emerging of Sixers captain Mitch McCarron lashing his teammates with a long overdue "read the riot act" spray.

OUR guest of honour on this week's Brad&Boti podcast with Brad Rosen and myself needed no introduction ... because she was a no-show! But we had so much to discuss coming out of the WNBL and NBL rounds - upsets, overtime, it was all happening.
NBL10 Rankings, Tips: Fool's Gold or Emerging Threats?

PERTH last week exposed defending NBL champion Sydney as not yet where it wants to be while South East Melbourne slowed its slide by outlasting New Zealand. Round 10 concludes with what could be the evidence necessary to either dismiss the Kings or the Phoenix as ready to challenge for the crown when they meet at Qudos Bank Arena.
Great Scott! Bruton axed, Ninnis in as 36ers react to maulings
SAY what you like about Scott Ninnis, no-one can dispute the man is a winner. Aligned with CJ Bruton's poor record since being handed the Adelaide 36ers' poison chalice, Ninnis' appointment as an assistant this NBL season was seen by many as positioning him to step up if the inevitable was necessary.
NBL TotW9: Wild round with a wild finish
ROUND 9 of the NBL season was a diamond, with so many quality performances and astonishing results throwing up its share of candidates for our coveted Team of the Week accolade. Tasmania setting records, South East back in the winner's circle, Brisbane with two tight wins - there was a lot to love.
NBL Wrap: Taipans stun, Brisbane dodges a bullet
MAJOR defensive plays by Nathan Sobey and Tyrell Harrison saved Brisbane from an Illawarra side now capable of competing with anyone after Cairns gave NBL leader Melbourne a thorough spanking with Patrick Miller outstanding and seldom-used import Josh Roberts huge against United's talented bigs.
