Fire, Flyers, Boomers, Lynx for flag: WNBL
.jpg)
THERE have been some extraordinary final regular season rounds in the WNBL's long history, but few would come close to this one, the return of import superstar Aari McDonald squeezing Perth Lynx back into the Final Four at big-spending Sydney's expense, and only after the final match was played.
Brad&Boti: Mercury rising for NBL champ Fleur
.jpg)
WE succeeded! If at first you don't succeed, try, try again ... so goes the old saying, so Brad Rosen and I persisted and yes, we landed a big scoop with Sydney Kings assistant NBL coach and soon-to-be Phoenix Mercury WNBA assistant GM, Fleur McIntyre for this week's Brad&Boti podcast.
WNBL Rankings, Tips Rd15: It's 'all or nothing' time
.jpg)
OMG! Rarely if ever has a WNBL regular season come down to so many permutations, from which club will finish top, to which of four teams battling for two spots will make it into the post-season, to which player from MVP finalists Sami Whitcomb, Jordin Canada, Lauren Nicholson, Isobel Borlase or Jade Melbourne will claim the coveted award?
WNBL TotW14: Spirited revival continues unabated

OUR WNBL Team of the Week for Round 14, which some might argue also could easily have been our TotW for Round 13, was the stand-out across a torrid and very meaningful series of matches, where, ultimately, some international preseason Spirit truly paid off as the fight for the Four intensified.
What a finish coming up! WNBL
FIRST place is not settled, the Final Four is not settled and only Adelaide Lightning and Canberra Capitals are out of the playoff picture. But both very clearly can influence the final outcome and play spoilers after another torrid round left six teams in the post-season hunt and Kelsey Griffin pacing a surging Bendigo.
Happy Valentine's Day: WNBL
HAPPY Valentine's Day may have been said a gazillion times today in Australia and across the globe, but for Canberra, if it beats Bendigo tomorrow, it will not only have been a happy day/night for the Capitals but also Melbourne and maybe even Perth, a contender before Aari McDonald was hurt.

BRAD Rosen and I had a bucketload of basketball to unpack in this week's Brad&Boti podcast, what with the Opals qualifying for the Paris Olympics, Lauren Jackson retiring from international play, the WNBL back in business and the NBL drawing to a thrilling conclusion.
WNBL Team of the Wk 13: Unlucky 13? No, focused 10
WE'RE departing from our customary and extremely popular WNBL Team of the Week format this round to branch out into new areas - international areas frankly. Because while they haven't had the opportunity to capture the mainstream public's imagination in the way the Matildas did, our Opals have certainly been the focus of women's basketball fans nationwide this week.
'Cyclone' Tracey sparks Trailblazer initiative

THE call is going out to any and ALL WNBL players, past, present and even future with the announcement of a new project being driven by former superstar and multiple championship winner Tracey Browning, designed to reconnect and grow the league under the banner of "WNBL Trailblazers".
Brad & Boti: Breaker Breaker good buddy. Squawk!

YES we're rolling again this week, Brad Rosen and I dissecting the NBL's latest developments in our Brad&Boti podcast but without any WNBL to speak of, we revisit the Opals playing for Olympics qualification in Brazil this coming weekend before going in-depth on our men's competition.
