Brad&Boti: Hawks show the Spirit to soar

WHAT a set of sizzling - though extremely different - NBL semi final Game 3s we have just witnessed but Brad&Boti podcast colleague Brad Rosen and I don't even start there, launching instead at Bendigo taking a 1-0 WNBL Grand Final lead over Townsville.
WNBL: Burton burns Fire as Spirit rally late

ASTUTE WNBL coaches jumped on the Townsville championship bandwagon and for a while in Grand Final Game 1 in Bendigo, it looked as if they had it right. Then Veronica Burton and the veterans said "that's enough" and put out the Fire in one withering quarter last night.
WNBL: Flickering Flames put out by leading Spirit

NO-ONE, especially no-one in a Sydney Flames uniform, needed any reminding just why Bendigo's spiritual leader Sami Whitcomb is the WNBL's reigning Most Valuable Player. Ah but just for the hell of it, she did so anyway as her Spirit sent the flickering Flames faltering out of their fractious finals foray in a semi sweep.
WNBL: Blazing Fire crush limp Lynx
TOUPEES off and doffed to Perth Lynx coach Ryan Petrik. He consistently has his team well-placed for a strong WNBL title run. But until he develops a coping strategy or a legitimate Plan B, odds are players such as Abbey Ellis always will sink his best laid plans and leave the Lynx as a regular season anomaly.
Brad&Boti: Is there something in the water in Perth?

WE'RE off and running with this week's earlier-than-usual episode of the Brad&Boti podcast, Brad Rosen and myself with so much to cover with Game 2s in the WNBL semis, and the NBL semis also launching this week. And we originally planned to skip this week!

WNBL: Coffey grinds Perth, Sami plays it again
NIA Coffey, who was not even part of Townsville's original roster for WNBL 2024-25, last night in Perth put the Fire within one win of the championship series before regular season champion Bendigo today continued on its merry way, seizing a 1-0 semi final lead over Sydney.
Brad&Boti: Is One of Us Off or Just Deaf?

DEMENTIA or insanity? Listeners of this week's Brad&Boti podcast only need to be paying close attention as former Sydney Kings captain and media man Brad Rosen or I stumble during an extensive coverage of the WNBL awards and playoffs, NBL Finals and Boomers, to reach the inevitable conclusion!
WNBL: Sami on Song but a few So Wrong
.jpg)
THE WNBL certainly got it right with Sami Whitcomb last night finally claiming its Most Valuable Player honours. But Lordy Lordy, how many awards did the league get so completely wrong? It was almost embarrassing. Veronica Burton? Kennedy Kereama? Alex Fowler? Shaneice Swain?
WNBL: Play it again Sami, MVP then the Big Dance
.jpg)
BENDIGO baller Sami Whitcomb tonight should finally win the WNBL's Most Valuable Player award, a fitting personal accolade ahead of a likely championship and wonderful experiences since naturalising, including an Olympic Games, two FIBA World Cups and even captaincy of her adopted nation at the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup.
