Podding along: Go you Opals! But medalling?
BRAD Rosen and I took the gloves off this week to discuss all things Opals, NBL and WNBL playoffs and, frankly, it wasn't pretty. Brad has such horrible hands.
Rankings: Bullets take a dive
BRISBANE had its NBL playoffs fate in its own hands last round and duly squandered it, blowing a much-needed home win over New Zealand which would have eliminated the Breakers, then stumbling in Perth.
NBL PotW: This one was a coin toss
ROUND 19 of the NBL certainly was big in the fortunes of a few teams still trying to grab that coveted fourth spot for the playoffs but when it came down to super individual performances from which to select out Player of the Week, it was truly tough to split two of them.
The Week That Was: Feb.2-9
YES, this has been a bonanza week with coaching decisions, NBL and WNBL action, the Opals in France and the Hall of Fame event in South Australia.
Breakers break into the Four
NEW Zealand's Breakers tonight have crashed the NBL Final Four following their win in Brisbane and the Bullets' loss today to the Wildcats in Perth.
Finals for Taipans? Try 'championship contenders'
CAIRNS tonight not only weathered the best Adelaide had to offer but put on a fun show at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, leaving no doubt it not only utterly deserves its spot in the playoffs, but it is a major NBL championship contender.
Farewell Joey Wright
ADELAIDE 36ers fans at Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Saturday for the NBL match with Cairns Taipans will see Sixers coach Joey Wright at the helm for the last time in a home match.
Tips: Finals decider Friday
THE NBL Finals start early this week with New Zealand needing to beat Brisbane and the Bullets also needing to avoid a road setback in Perth, ramifications huge.
Podding along: Keely, NZ, it's all here
BRAD Rosen and I go at it, talking NBL, WNBL and even a bit of Opals away in France for the Tokyo Olympic's final qualifying series.
Rankings: No.1 with a bullet
INCREDIBLY, the Brisbane Bullets have made it to our No.1 NBL ranking this week after compiling an impressive six-match winning streak, but with their season on the line this round.
