Brad&Boti: WNBL semis and NBL pointy end

IT'S semi final time in the WNBL but there was no surprise in either of the Game 1s in the best-of-three series between Townsville and Southside or Perth-Bendigo but there was plenty to contemplate from the penultimate NBL regular season round, so Brad Rosen and I did that at our Brad&Boti podcast.
Timms joins legends for "Bigger than basketball"
A Naismith Hall of Famer and three-time Olympian, four NBL champions, an All-Star big man, four of the most decorated, respected and colourful referees in Australian basketball history and a well-known Melbourne-based media personality are among the latest names to get behind this month’s Legends of Basketball Game for Bowel Cancer.
Brad&Boti: At last! We can say We told You!
PODCAST partner Brad Rosen and I were feeling pretty chuffed this week, having long ago locked away the correct WNBL and NBL playoff teams and also selected Isobel Borlase to waltz home with the women's MVP. But that's just the tip of the iceberg of this week's Brad&Boti podcast.
Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: Bogey, Goorj drawing off-court attention

HOW much of a fuss should the tweet on X by Andrew Bogut really have created? Was Bogey stirring trouble or drawing attention to a crisis in Adelaide? Should there have been a crisis meeting? Joey Wright and I work our way through it at this week's Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast.
Is a crisis meeting overdue for 36ers?
SERIOUSLY now. After last night's NBL loss by the 36ers to Illawarra in Wollongong, you have to start wondering if some sort of crisis meeting is not overdue in Adelaide. Maybe it's past the time club leaders sat down together to discuss whether the team's best chance at a championship is simply blowing away in the wind.
Brad&Boti: Have the Spirit hit the wall and ugh for 'basketbrawl'

BOTH podcast colleague Brad Rosen and I agree Southside officially will wrap up fourth place in the WNBL playoffs against Canberra, wonder if Bendigo has finally hit the wall, and discuss what's happening in the NBL since the round started with an overblown incident in the Brisbane-Adelaide clash.
Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: Was that really a brawl?

WHAT really happened in that overhyped so-called NBL "brawl" between Brisbane and Adelaide and were the penalties appropriate? Joey Wright and I discuss it in detail at our Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast this week before we also break down several team breakdowns.
Fines prove clash was much ado about precious little
AND, as is revealed by today's penalties from the NBL's Games Review Panel, that whole Brisbane-Adelaide mini-melee so predictably described by newspapers as "Basketbrawl" - how unbelievably imaginatively original - was, to paraphrase The Bard, quite typically much ado about precious little.
Brad&Boti: Izzy dizzy and key King stings
BENDIGO Spirit guard Isobel Borlase is coming off a three-game WNBL stint in which she has wracked up 98 points while Kings guard Kendric Davis has gone off for 40 in an NBL round that Brad&Boti podcast colleague Brad Rosen and I could hardly wait to sink our teeth into.
Bigger than Basketball brings greats together
THE biggest names in Australian basketball - greats such as Andrew Gaze, Phil Smyth, Mark Bradtke, Cal Bruton, David Andersen and Ricky Grace - always showed up when it mattered and they're back together again next month for a cause "bigger than basketball".
