When 'home sweet home' means lousy bedsheets

THERE was just not much more Bryce Hamilton could have done to get Tasmania across the line against South East Melbourne last night in its jinxed Silverdome venue in Launceston, after Adelaide earlier outlasted New Zealand at their equally parlous "home" venue in Christchurch.
United's travails with Javale leave Hawks soaring

WHATEVER United tried was to no avail, Melbourne just could not stop Javale, the Hawks' 3-time NBA champion centre with a career-best 37 points as Illawarra formally apologised to its fans for last week's 42-point home defeat in the best way possible - an emphatic win over the NBL's finest.
Brad&Boti: Burger Boss launches the round
BRAD Rosen has spent a day in Adelaide-town and finally sampled the wears of one of our past sponsors, Burger Boss, and you can tell he was stoked. He enjoyed it so much, we led this week's Brad&Boti podcast with it before turning to the major events of WNBL Round3 and NBL Round 7.
What We Learnt #7: Everyone has a number in the L column
WE learnt plenty in Round 7, last night's classic clash between previously undefeated Melbourne and visiting Sydney ending that United streak at 9-0, but meanwhile question marks hover over teams such as Perth, Illawarra, Tasmania and New Zealand, Kings guard Kendric Davis' 34-point haul the round's single biggest.

WOW, Melbourne United lost overnight to Sydney in a match played sadly after Joey Wright and I recorded this week's Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast, so we'll get to that next time. But hey, our sponsor this week "Massage Life" is offering a $600 competition prize, unfortunately only for Adelaide viewers.

DEFENDING NBL champion Illawarra produced an amazing form reversal to just miss scraping the 36ers' major scalp in Adelaide, South East reasserted its bona fides against Perth, after Xavier Cooks was the X-factor in Sydney's win over Brisbane and Jack McVeigh enjoyed a successful return to Tasmania.
Long arm of the Lynx 'synx' Venom
ALEX Ciabattoni's deceptively long arms last night made all the difference in Geelong as Perth maintained its undefeated start to the WNBL season when her deflection meant Mackenzie Holmes' game-winning basket was 0.2 of a second too late to reverse the Lynx's 77-76 road win.
Sam plays it again in, oh no, a blow-out
OH no! Not another blow-out. Did New Zealand's all-the-way 42-point humiliation last night of Illawarra in Wollongong signal it's time yet again for another bout of hand-wringing and pontificating by the NBL's media minions? Or was it a case of the Breakers, led by Sam Mennenga, just being great?
Bullets find the formula in Cairns rout
FINGERS are crossed all over the Queensland state capital that Brisbane has turned the corner in the NBL after a thoroughly convincing overnight rout of derby rival Cairns, Tyrell Harrison and Casey Prather firing up the Bullets but receiving plenty of support from the entire roster.
It's a 'Cat day for Perth in Hobart
CLEARLY still on a high from their dramatic comeback win over Sydney, the JackJumpers started like a house on fire to take a 19-5 Ignite Cup lead over Perth but that blazing beginning steadily was put out by Wildcats firefighters Jo Lual-Acuil, Elijah Pepper and David Okwera in a rousing performance in Hobart.
