YES it's April Fools Day and who better to guide you through just such an event than Brad Rosen and I at our Brad&Boti podcast, featuring all you need to know about the NBL Championship and a super interview with WNBL champion and Rachael Sporn Medallist Courtney Woods.
Time out-NO FLOP ZONE: NBL Final Going to the Wire

WHAT surprised my Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast colleague Joey Wright the most about the first three matches of the NBL Championship between Sydney and Adelaide? His answer is unlikely to surprise you but there is plenty in store in this week's episode that will.
UFC? Give us a break. It's adjust or bust
THE decision by Adelaide 36ers coach Mike Wells to try and influence the narrative of the NBL Championship by aiming a blowtorch on an alleged officiating discrepancy favouring Sydney - and a feckless media using emotive terms such as "UFC" to describe the Kings defence - is bordering on the pathetic.
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.
Brad&Boti: We interview SEM's "The Glove"
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.
