Spring nearly here but Shield blitzed
THIS year's NBL Blitz for the Loggins-Bruton Cup in Townsville should be an absolute ripper, though sadly the WNBL's Spring Shield won't be happening.
In living memory
JOHN Gardiner was one of a kind, though it was of a kind with which we are fortunately familiar in Australia.
FLASHBACK 57: A few facials too
*FLASHBACKS, my irregular "lucky dip" where I just reach into my drawers of old Australian basketball stuff and transcribe whatever I find for you.
Maher off to put out Flames
THERE'S a delightful symmetry in the fact Brett Maher tomorrow will be trying to stop the Flames one last time, before his future is full of doing the same.
NBL finds a top ambassador
JUST when you start to worry the NBL still is making some questionable decisions, it goes and does something as terrific as appointing Patty Mills a league ambassador.
Rah rah, Ebi Ere
YES it's true. Dual NBL-championship winning import Ebi Ere is Adelaide 36ers' last signing for the 2015-16 season and he couldn't be happier to be back.
Joseph the new messiah
EXPECT the new NBL to shortly reveal Albert "Alby" Joseph as the new man in charge of its refereeing direction.
Boomers setting a gold standard
ANDREW Bogut has said it and now dual-Olympians Joe Ingles and Brad Newley have reiterated it. The Boomers aren't chasing a medal in Rio, they're panning for gold.
Up, up and Awai
CONGRATULATIONS are in order again for the Perth Wildcats and the NBL club's crack administrative team in securing Nathan Jawai.
FLASHBACK 56: Are you among these?
*FLASHBACKS, my irregular "lucky dip" where I just reach into my drawers of old Australian basketball stuff and transcribe whatever I find for you.
