Basketball On The Internet.

WHAT a glorious round of WNBL and NBL basketball Hoops Fest gave us last week in Perth, podcast colleague Brad Rosen especially blown away by the event's success. So yes, of course it is at the forefront of this week's Brad&Boti podcast discussions, along with our women's MVP pick and much more.

There were several huge individual performances and we select very different "play of the week" options in the WNBL and again differ on our Player of the Round too.

Players were standing up all over the place, the Han Xu-charged Perth Lynx book-ending the round with matches against fellow first-place protagonists Bendigo and Townsville.

A four-point and a six-point thriller ensued before Geelong smashed Sydney and Southside struck out the Lightning. The Caps gave Townsville a fright, before backing that up by beating Adelaide to declare Canberra will not give up the Final Four quest without a fight.

Brad and I give you our Round 15 predictions before swinging our attention to the NBL where two results stood out for us.

A depleted Sydney battering Brisbane showed the Bullets have checked out for the remainder of Season 2025-26, and South East Melbourne, without MVP candidate Nathan Sobey, flogging league-leading Adelaide also caught us off guard.

It wasn't so much either result, just the emphatic manner in which they were delivered. Which comfortably led us into our Plays and Players of the Week where again, as we had with the WNBL, we focused on different passages and people.

Brad's Rosen Rattler was backed up by my Nagy Nasty but we also found time to discuss the losses for the rest of the season to injury of Tasmania's Will Magnay and New Zealand's Rob Baker.

What does it mean for their teams and does it nudge open the Top Six door slightly for Illawarra?

Torrey Craig is back. That is all.

Really enjoyed this episode, one of our best we'd like to think. But thinking is not our strength.
