36ers on the rise, with a bullet
THERE'S a certain sweet irony about the fact the Brisbane Bullets overlooked their NBL championship-winner CJ Bruton for the role of the club's post-Andrej Lemanis coach, he bounced back to mentor the Adelaide 36ers and today they square off in the Blitz Final for the Loggins-Bruton Cup.

BASKETBALL On The Internet's US Corresondent BOB CRAVEN has been busy compiling a list of notable anniversaries in the NBA during my prolonged absence from the keyboard, and there have been some doozies during the month of November, as you are about to relive.
B&B: Play it again Sam
THE NBL's newest franchise, the Tasmania Jack Jumpers has the Apple Isle loving basketball again and this week Brad Rosen and I caught up with one of the club's first and most significant signings, championship-winning guard Sam McDaniel for our Brad&Boti podcast.

BOB'S CORNERS: While I've been out of commission (link), our man in the USA, Bob Craven has not, filing regular stories and updates. Today he filed about our own Boomers superstar Patty Mills sticking 29 points for Brooklyn against OKC. But there's been so much more from Bob...
