Action Jackson soars and Flyers feast

SHE is Australian basketball's G.O.A.T. - Greatest Of All Time - and even at 42, you had to know those competitive instincts would kick in for a WNBL semi final Game 3 decider. With 38 points and 11 rebounds, she absolutely dominated proceedings as only she can, Southside beating Melbourne 93-77.
Flyers can expect G.O.A.T. to bump Boomers to oblivion
MELBOURNE Boomers fans, be warned. If your team beats Southside tonight in Game 3 of the WNBL's semi final series, it will need to stop the G.O.A.T., Lauren Jackson to do it. Remember what happened at the FIBA World Cup in 2022 when, at 41, she thought she was playing her last international?

THE WNBL and NBL playoffs are in full swing and there is news galore right across basketball so this week on the Brad&Boti podcast with Sydney Kings stalwart Brad Rosen, we focused on the events and news of the past few days, ahead of tonight's Southside-Melbourne semi final.
Fire swept aside by Lynx blitz
A WEEK ago the Perth Lynx were sweating on the result of the regular season's last game, barracking for WNBL champion Townsville to eliminate Sydney so they could make a stunning eleventh hour Final Four appearance. Today those same Lynx literally were putting out the Fire, sweeping the champs 2-0 in their semi final series.
Yeah, Naz as Boomers bolt to Game 3 semi
ON the cusp of elimination, down Opals Olympian Sara Blicavs (leg) for the rest of the season and Tall Ferns centre Penina Davidson (calf), Melbourne not only dug deep but practically buried Southside 88-67 in Game 2 of their WNBL best-of-three semi final series, Naz Hillmon perfect from the floor.

IMPORT Aari McDonald scored Perth's first basket last night in Townsville and also its last, cementing an 88-87 Game 1 win in their best-of-three WNBL semi final. In between, the dynamic playmaker scored 22 points and dished nine assists, stunning the 2,341 fans at the Firepit.

SOUTHSIDE veteran and Australian basketball's G.O.A.T. Lauren Jackson turned back the clock to lead her team to a 1-0 best-of-three WNBL semi final series lead over Melbourne, but unsung import Jasmine Dickey was the X-factor the Boomers did not calculate, scoring 16 points.
WNBL semi, when size really does matter
THERE is a very strong likelihood Melbourne Boomers beating Southside Flyers for the Michele Timms Trophy will be the club's only comfort as the best-of-three WNBL semi final series unfolds from tonight, Penina Davidson (calf injury) a massive out for the Purple.
WNBL TotW15: Missing Lynx late return
THE Perth Lynx deserve a great deal of credit for bursting back into the WNBL Final Four, right at the season's eleventh hour and in so doing, not only ensured 2023-24 would have the same semi finalists as 2022-23, but they would close the regular season as our final Team of the Week.
Canada now best in Australia: WNBL
MELBOURNE Boomers import Jordin Canada last night became the WNBL club's sixth league MVP, joining Debbie Slimmon (90, 92), Katrina Hibbert (05, 06), Hollie Grima (07), Liz Cambage (11) and Cayla George (23) as a winner of the top individual award, while also elevating her coach Chris Lucas.
