Brad&Boti: Josh Roberts, upsets and poor scheduling

OUR guest of honour on this week's Brad&Boti podcast with Brad Rosen and myself needed no introduction ... because she was a no-show! But we had so much to discuss coming out of the WNBL and NBL rounds - upsets, overtime, it was all happening.
NBL10 Rankings, Tips: Fool's Gold or Emerging Threats?

PERTH last week exposed defending NBL champion Sydney as not yet where it wants to be while South East Melbourne slowed its slide by outlasting New Zealand. Round 10 concludes with what could be the evidence necessary to either dismiss the Kings or the Phoenix as ready to challenge for the crown when they meet at Qudos Bank Arena.
WNBL Tips6: Boomers now under microscope
ALL eyes are switched right onto early WNBL pacesetter Melbourne after the Boomers succumbed at home to Perth and now face the Lynx in their home lair this round. Melbourne's past three games have been less than impressive, also barely escaping Bendigo and Canberra who were 7th and 8th at the time.
Great Scott! Bruton axed, Ninnis in as 36ers react to maulings
SAY what you like about Scott Ninnis, no-one can dispute the man is a winner. Aligned with CJ Bruton's poor record since being handed the Adelaide 36ers' poison chalice, Ninnis' appointment as an assistant this NBL season was seen by many as positioning him to step up if the inevitable was necessary.
NBL TotW9: Wild round with a wild finish
ROUND 9 of the NBL season was a diamond, with so many quality performances and astonishing results throwing up its share of candidates for our coveted Team of the Week accolade. Tasmania setting records, South East back in the winner's circle, Brisbane with two tight wins - there was a lot to love.
WNBL TotW5: Tough round but an easy pick
IT may have been one of this WNBL season's best rounds but selecting our Team of the Week was not all that difficult, Townsville barely escaping Adelaide, Southside handling Canberra, and on the road, Bendigo staving off Lightning in overtime. So who is left. Hmm, not a lot of chin-stroking required, surely?
NBL Wrap: Taipans stun, Brisbane dodges a bullet
MAJOR defensive plays by Nathan Sobey and Tyrell Harrison saved Brisbane from an Illawarra side now capable of competing with anyone after Cairns gave NBL leader Melbourne a thorough spanking with Patrick Miller outstanding and seldom-used import Josh Roberts huge against United's talented bigs.
WNBL Wrap5: Lynx jinx Boomers as Spirits also rise

PERTH today reinforced the widely-held preseason belief that anyone could beat anyone on any given day/night this season in the WNBL when it smashed the league-leading Boomers' undefeated winning streak by 17 in Melbourne, controversy and an overtime thriller also big in a pulsating round.
Teamwork makes dream work - our first Golden Girls
YOU might not know it but if you love basketball, you should. This is the 30-year anniversary of our very first FIBA World Championship Gold Medal, won in 1993 in Seoul, South Korea at the Under-19 Women's Worlds, by a team full of players who have continued on to greatness in sport and in life.
Breakers getting screwed, Sixers just screwed
NEW Zealand Breakers fans believing your team is getting screwed by the officials on a regular basis, take heart. You're right. Not sure the refs even recognise how much they do it. And Adelaide 36ers fans? Sadly, your team is close to its lowest ever ebb in its once proud NBL history. Those are the takeaways from yesterday's NBL matches.
