B&B: Brad and I take a Joey Time-Out

FORMER Adelaide 36ers, Brisbane Bullets and Gold Coast Blaze coach Joey Wright and I have a weekly "Time Out" podcast on Piranha Media but with Joey away, we invited Brad&Boti colleague Brad Rosen to join me for a visual treat. We also doubled it up as this week's Brad&Boti pod so this one is slightly different!
NBL Rd12: Look out for the Fraud Squad
GOOD news for Sydney fans. The Kings have finally exited the Fraud Squad offices, leaving Brisbane, Adelaide, Cairns and New Zealand to contemplate how they will blow or blister in their next NBL game, while Illawarra considers whether it should check in.
TOTW Rd11: Phoenix lowered, Bullets blanked

WHAT a round of NBL action when the potential grand final preview between Melbourne and Perth is obscured by two magnificent dunks, first by Cairns' Tahjere McCall, then by Sydney's Jaylen Adams, making our Team of the Week selection truly challenging.
WCQ: Opals carve a Korean barbecue
WITH easily its best first half of the tournament, Australia today smacked Korea 79-61 in Belgrade, but had this FIBA World Cup Qualifier wrapped up 51-20 by the main interval through some intense defence and great offensive ball movement. Captain Sami Whitcomb and veteran Cayla George dominated the early going.
WCQ: Serbs served up a ticket to Sydney
SERBIA qualified today for the 2022 FIBA Women's World Cup in Sydney from September 22 when it surfed home on the back of a roaring home crowd in Belgrade to punch its ticket 78-71 over Australia, the Opals' cause set back by the unexpected loss of starter Steph Talbot to a notorious disqualifying foul.
Bob's Corner: The Big Ben Blockbuster

BOB'S CORNER: The big blockbuster trade which rival club managements spent weeks talking down actually went down on trade day, February 10, with Aussie star Ben Simmons shipped from Philadelphia 76ers to Brooklyn Nets for James Harden, as BOB CRAVEN reports.
WCQ: Slick Opals clean up Brazilians

DEFENCE. Attitude. Aptitude. The Opals were back last night, erasing Brazil 65-52 in their FIBA World Cup Qualifying clash in Belgrade, and not even loosely resembling the lost and ageing combination which crashed to near desolation just six months ago at the Tokyo Olympics.
NBL Rd11: Who dares wins
WHO dares wins may be the motto of the Special Air Services but it also surely applies to predicting winners in NBL Round 11, another one chock-full of hazardous options and untrustworthy performers. Brisbane must be driving James Duncan crazy and Adelaide testing CJ Bruton's patience.
B&B: Behind the WNBL curtain
WHAT is life REALLY like when you're stranded interstate, potentially for months on end due to COVID protocols? Brad Rosen and I wanted to bring that insight to our listeners and in Perth Lynx star Alex Ciabattoni, we found the perfect insider. This is another "must listen" for fans of our Brad&Boti podcast.
TOTW Rd10: Jumping Jacks no flash in the pan
YES it's a hat-trick for the Apple Isle's "core" blimeys, those mighty Tasmania JackJumpers the biggest story of Round 10 and winning our NBL Team of the Week award for a third time and also for the second week in succession. From the moment Jack McVeigh let that 3-point attempt rip in Melbourne, the JJs had this wrapped up.
