Bob's Corner: Danny's back, and over in Utah
BOB'S CORNER: Our US correspondent Bob Craven has been hard at work this week, compiling notable articles on Boston Celtics star Danny Aine, revisiting our own late, great Lorraine Eiler, the ravages of COVID-19 on US sports, timely anniversaries and so much more.
Now Southside to lower the boom: WNBL
ROCKED on the road by crosstown rival Melbourne, defending champion Southside can start WNBL Round 3 by making immediate amends when it hosts the Boomers at Dandenong Stadium.
Wildcats-Bullets deja vu. NBL Rd3
IF Perth and Brisbane this NBL round can stage a match half as good as last week's double-overtime thriller, it may well be another "match of the round".
NBL's "blind eye" as views go viral
NEVER let it be said the NBL doesn't spot a marketing opportunity when it sees one, even if the inevitable penalties doled out today in the aftermath of big Mitch Creek and Sam Froling plays smack of little more than wrist slaps.
B&B: Catching Lightning in a bottle
IT'S been a busy week for media collaborator Brad Rosen and I with all that went down in that epic Round 2 of the NBL season, not to mention the stunning WNBL results. We address all that and more at our Brad&Boti podcast but start out with the WNBL's reigning MVP, talking catching Lightning in a bottle with Steph Talbot.
One of a kind, Lorraine may also have been the GOAT
SHE was the first Australian - man or woman - to win a US college scholarship, instrumental in basketball for women becoming an actual "thing" in the 50s, helped create the national championship between states and was an original Opal before they even knew they were such gems. Lorraine Eiler passed away this week, one of the greatest identities in our sport's history.
TOTW Rd2: Did you get the number of that truck?
DID you get the number of that truck?
NBL Round 2 hit like a Mack truck, with so many memorable games and a few physical confrontations as well, not to mention that epic double-overtime sizzler out West.
A Round to Remember: NBL Rd2 Wrap
WOW! Just wow! Yes indeed.
Round 2 of the NBL season unquestionably was the greatest second round of a season in the league's history and would certainly rank among its finest regular season rounds ever.
Bob's Corner: Sandy rises out of Phoenix
BOB'S CORNER: Our US correspondent BOB CRAVEN is back but Aussie Tokyo Olympics coach Sandy Brondello will not be, with her WNBA club Phoenix Mercury this week announcing she would not be reappointed as head coach, her contract up and her eight-year tenure in Arizona drawn to a close.
B&B: Let's get it started!
BRAD&BOTI is off to a Southside-style flyer this week, jumping onto the NBL and WNBL competitions that are underway, in no uncertain manner. This is one of our rare in-depth looks at both leagues before we surprise you next week with our interview guest.
