The day the music died
WHAT a week that was for Kevin Lisch and the Illawarra Hawks!
Scene set now for a sweep
REALLY? The officiating? That's what cost NBL regular season champion Melbourne Game 1 of its Swisse Semi Final Series with defending champion New Zealand?
In the finish it's Lisch
KEVIN Lisch last night joined an exclusive NBL club when he became a multiple winner of the league's MVP award.
The Tips & Last Rankings
THE Swisse NBL Finals are almost upon us yet it seems like only yesterday the Preseason Blitz was tipping off in Townsville.
MVP, All Stars & Other NBL tips
IF it was up to me, Kevin Lisch would win his second NBL Most Valuable Player award tomorrow night.
Wrapping 19: Careful what you wish for
NBL regular season champion Melbourne United might just want to be careful what it wished for going into the best-of-three semis on Thursday.
What a way to finish!
THEY may be seventh and eighth on the NBL ladder but Townsville and Sydney certainly turned on a show last night at The Swamp
The business end bit pear-shaped
ON a day even Basketball Australia raised the spectre of gambling on national level basketball games, it's interesting Melbourne United didn't choose to put its best foot forward against New Zealand.
United opens the door for Breakers
MELBOURNE'S decision to rest Chris Goulding, Daniel Kickert and Hakim Warrick from tonight's NBL match in Auckland has swung the playoff door wide open for New Zealand.
Congratulations Kings
HERE'S the good news first. If Sydney Kings, victors last night over Perth Lite, beat Townsville on Saturday, they will have matched the 25 per cent winning ratio they had when Damian Cotter was dumped.
