It's Bryce time: NBL Rd 20 Wrap
YES, you've found it. The NBL Wrap of the Round with every game reviewed is all right here in one place for your viewing pleasure, or otherwise. The playoffs are set, 2023 Grand Finallists Sydney and New Zealand in the KO "play-in" and Tasmania hosting Illawarra. And Bryce Cotton should tonight be named MVP.
United finds it, Breakers lose it: NBL
A FRUSTRATED Chris Goulding sparked NBL leader Melbourne to life over Illawarra before Adelaide consigned NZ to a KO road "play-in" against Sydney - can we not just call it a "top six" and not blindly and blithely copy the NBA all the time? - in what remarkably will rematch last season's Grand Final - oops - "Championship" Series.
BOB'S BONUS: Curry-Ionescu make their points

BOB'S BONUS: Computer and Internet issues notwithstanding, our man on the spot in the USA, BOB CRAVEN, is back with a double-dose of weekend reading, tipped off with what turned into a global phenomenon, the 3-Point battle between Steph Curry and Sabrina Ionescu.
What a finish coming up! WNBL
FIRST place is not settled, the Final Four is not settled and only Adelaide Lightning and Canberra Capitals are out of the playoff picture. But both very clearly can influence the final outcome and play spoilers after another torrid round left six teams in the post-season hunt and Kelsey Griffin pacing a surging Bendigo.
Imperious Kings rule, Jackies swarm: NBL
SOUTH East Melbourne was smashed and humiliated by defending NBL champion Sydney, the Kings keeping alive their threepeat dream with DJ Hogg finding his shot, while Perth minus Bryce Cotton gave Tasmania something of a game before succumbing to another JackJumper swarm.

BOB'S CORNER: Our erstwhile USA correspondent BOB CRAVEN has been beset with computer-related issues for the past week but still somehow managed to file this "quickie" for us because, let's face it, you can't keep a good man down.
PJC super and Cairns upsets United: NBL
PARKER Jackson-Cartwright produced another match-winning performance for New Zealand to leave Brisbane now sweating the result of the Sydney-South East Melbourne match tonight while Cairns revealed that as pundits, we just don't pay enough attention, as they again smacked NBL leader Melbourne.
No is the word as Hawks sweep Perth: NBL
IT would be a crying shame if the noise over the uttering of the "N" word allegedly by Illawarra import Justin Robinson now detracted from the club's tremendous success in sweeping NBL powerhouse Perth to qualify for the playoffs last night in front of a roaring Wollongong crowd.
NBL Rankings, Tips 20: Spots for grabs as greats retire
A PAIR of the all-time greats of our league, Tom Abercrombie and Brad Newley will hang up their boots at the close of the 2023-24 season after stellar NBL and international careers, the sport considerably poorer for their loss. Outstanding players, both are even greater human beings.
Happy Valentine's Day: WNBL
HAPPY Valentine's Day may have been said a gazillion times today in Australia and across the globe, but for Canberra, if it beats Bendigo tomorrow, it will not only have been a happy day/night for the Capitals but also Melbourne and maybe even Perth, a contender before Aari McDonald was hurt.
