Oct.6-13 - that's an NBL/WNBL wrap, almost
YES, we still have Illawarra hosting Cairns tomorrow night to wrap Round 2 of the NBL season in a week where a lot has happened in roundball, including a great WNBL tip-off as well.
WNBL: Caps for #9
WNBL Season Preview: There's no reason to believe Canberra cannot go back2back in the WNBL this season and match Perth's NBL Wildcats as a nine-time champion.
NBL: Kings rule, OK
THE apologists around the 36ers will be quick to blame jetlag but let's be clear - Sydney Kings humiliated Adelaide 102-80, conscientious objectors offering more resistance than the Sixers today.
Lightning future Crystal clear
IMPORT Crystal Langhorne debuted with a 20-point, 13-rebound double-double to pace Adelaide to a comfortable 89-79 WNBL win over Sydney Uni at Titanium Security Arena tonight.
NBL: Who and Why, Rd2
ILLAWARRA Hawks coach Matt Flinn needs to have sorted out his playing rotation or risk another million or so international viewers seeing his NBL outfit humbled in Perth by the defending champion Wildcats.
NBL: POTW breaks a 3-way tie
LONGTIME readers here already would know if you score the winning basket, you pretty much have your hands on our weekly Basketball On The Internet Player of the Week award.
NBL: When eight isn't enough
THE long-awaited NBL season hasn't disappointed, every game of the first round decided by nine or less points for the first time in league history and most-watched LaMelo Ball pulling together a fine debut for Illawarra.
Jazz on song with a Sixers symphony
THE NBA's Utah Jazz today smashed out a 133-81 embarrassment to the Adelaide 36ers, making an utter mockery of cheerleader pregame predictions of an "upset" being on the cards.
NBL: Wildcats heading for double figures
FORGET any commentary Perth will not be hungry enough to go back2back again this NBL season. Chasing another record title - the Wildcats' 10th - makes Trevor Gleeson's crew the team to beat in 2019-20.
People power brings back Jerome
WHEN 6,366 fans turned up last Friday at Adelaide Entertainment Centre to watch the 36ers in an NBL preseason game, Deshon Taylor's fate was sealed, Jerome Randle's career rejuvenated.
