WNBL: Farewell for Abby ... and Adelaide?

ABBY Bishop today closed her impressive WNBL career with a farewell win over likely champion Bendigo, Jade Melbourne firing for a 40-piece while in Adelaide, Lightning not only await Geelong tomorrow but also their fate in the competition, the latest potential new owners dropping out.
WNBL: Flames snuffed and tough road ahead
SYDNEY might have clinched its WNBL Final Four playoff berth but after taking an 83-50 belting at home last night to Townsville, odds are Guy Molloy's crew will experience a very much short-lived stay in the best-of-three semi finals against regular season champion Bendigo.
WNBL: Flames sew up Final Four return
SYDNEY star Isabella Brancatisiano swished 8-of-12 threes today in her game-high 26-point haul, underpinning an 86-71 win in Canberra that guaranteed a return to the playoffs for the Flames, their 3-0 sweep of the Capitals and Adelaide's twin losses closing the Final Four door.
Brad&Boti: Sami, Bryce have the MVPs wrapped

ARE Bendigo's Sami Whitcomb and Perth's Bryce Cotton locks for the WNBL and NBL Most Valuable Player awards this season? How will the final round of the NBL regular season and the penultimate WNBL round conclude? Brad Rosen and I take a deep dive in this week's Brad&Boti podcast, available now.
WNBL: Sydney's Swain scraps the Caps
SYDNEY Flames guard Shaniece Swain last night most likely slammed shut the door on the WNBL's Final Four with a 36-point haul in Canberra, leading the visitors to a thrilling 92-88 overtime victory for a 7-11 win-loss mark and a season-series win over the Caps. The door most definitely is shut, but not quite locked.

BRAD&BOTI: Sydney media man and former Kings captain Brad Rosen has some very distinct views on how the NBL Top Six will now shape up and we have narrowed down the fight for the four in the WNBL to a couple of longtime champion clubs.
WNBL: Caps, Flames chase post-season party
REGULAR WNBL watchers most likely have locked away Kennedy Kereama's barnstorming Bendigo, pulsating Perth and talented Townsville in their Final Four but that last spot in the playoffs should come from Sydney or Canberra. Geelong and Adelaide really merely look spoilers now and Southside simply spoilt.
Brad&Boti: Heading to the WNBL, NBL pointy end

BRAD&BOTI: Brad Rosen and I are firing in this week's podcast with, perhaps, a surprise prediction for the WNBL's Final Four, an extended look at the NBL season suddenly tightening up, and a revisit across the life and times of the late, great Iceman, Darryl Pearce.
Brad&Boti: Deck the Halls, it's upset time

BRAD&BOTI: It's the Holiday Season and media commentator Brad Rosen and I are feeling chirpy and excited about where the WNBL and NBL are both heading. The NBL is wide open now but in the WNBL, it does appear Bendigo's title to lose, with Perth maybe the only team that can influence that.
NBL|WNBL: One Adelaide has it right
WHEN Adelaide gets it wrong, wow, does it ever. Then again, when Adelaide gets it right, national league basketball life can be full of optimism and bliss. In the middle of this stands a man born Christmas Day and bearing abundant gifts of wisdom. The 36ers didn't want to know. But the Lightning did. Which team would you rather be today?
