B&B: Time for a Mailperson to be Opalling
CHRISTMAS IS here so podcast colleague Brad Rosen and I sat down to be nice and naughty - that's the correct order is it not? - going through the controversies of the day (and there's a Hungry Jacks' sized Whopper among them) and also asking the question, what does Anneli Maley have to do to make an Opals squad?
Law comes down on Law but what about Deng?
PERTH Wildcats import Vic Law found guilty of head-butting Brisbane's Deng Deng, suspended for one game but reduced to a $1,000 fine for an early plea is fair enough. But how about a fine for Deng? Surely the NBL's Games Review Panel cannot condone the outright obvious flop he perpetrated to exaggerate Law's moment of ill discipline.
Records, records, records: NBL Rd3 Wrap
PRE-CHRISTMAS you half expect a bit of charity and joy around the place but nope, NBL clubs were merciless with more riptide than yuletide on show in Round 3, records falling all over the place.
TOTW Rd3: United A-OK on D
THERE was an abundance of options from NBL Round 3 for our Team of the Week even though - yes we DO know - the round formally doesn't end until Wednesday's Sydney-Tasmania fixture. But after the way they've performed earlier in this round, short of a 50-point JackJumpers upset, neither team is truly in the running.
Wildcats-Bullets deja vu. NBL Rd3
IF Perth and Brisbane this NBL round can stage a match half as good as last week's double-overtime thriller, it may well be another "match of the round".
NBL's "blind eye" as views go viral
NEVER let it be said the NBL doesn't spot a marketing opportunity when it sees one, even if the inevitable penalties doled out today in the aftermath of big Mitch Creek and Sam Froling plays smack of little more than wrist slaps.
TOTW Rd2: Did you get the number of that truck?
DID you get the number of that truck?
NBL Round 2 hit like a Mack truck, with so many memorable games and a few physical confrontations as well, not to mention that epic double-overtime sizzler out West.
A Round to Remember: NBL Rd2 Wrap
WOW! Just wow! Yes indeed.
Round 2 of the NBL season unquestionably was the greatest second round of a season in the league's history and would certainly rank among its finest regular season rounds ever.
B&B: Let's get it started!
BRAD&BOTI is off to a Southside-style flyer this week, jumping onto the NBL and WNBL competitions that are underway, in no uncertain manner. This is one of our rare in-depth looks at both leagues before we surprise you next week with our interview guest.
Apple of their eye. NBL Rd2
TASMANIA JackJumpers' many thrilled and delighted NBL fans will be gearing up to go 2-0 - and if so, possibly even 3-0 on the road to Cairns later this round - at the expense of an Adelaide, which very much is a work-in-progress as it heads into Tassie.
