Opals fall short but not by much
WE had high hopes but I suspect most of us feared our gallant Opals might not have enough firepower to get over the line – this time – against the USA.
Get ready for a rip, snorter NBL season
SOMEBODY asked me at the Preseason Blitz whether we were heading for another year such as a couple of seasons back when Perth and New Zealand were a cut above the NBL pack all season.
Opals can-add-a new scalp tonight
OUR mighty Aussie Opals - and I call them "mighty" because Naismith knows this performance in Turkey has been way above expectations - can add Canada's scalp tonight and march on to the semi finals.

Taylor-made Opals perfection
NOW that’s the way to open a World Championship! No second-guessing, no self doubt, no let up defensively, the Opals opened in most impressive fashion tonight against Cuba.
Map of Tasmania relevant again to NBL clubs
IF I was a betting man, I’d be putting the house and land package on Brisbane and Tassie being NBL fixtures in 2015-16.
