Apologies for my hiatus, but #NBL24 Takeaways is at last back, just in time for Round Eleven. In this edition: Justin Tatum's changes, Sam Waardenburg's under-appreciated play, and a rant about the Sixers' incompetence. medium.com/@BradWinter122…

New from me: A late night edition of #NBL24 Takeaways for the sickos out there. Dug into Tasmania’s depth issues, the Delly/Hukporti lob connection, Sydney going back to drop coverage, what I’d do if I were Justin Schueller, and more. medium.com/@BradWinter122…

ICYMI -- give it a read before Round 12 starts tonight! #NBL24

This season’s Finals have a chance to be all-time great. Feels like the top four have played almost exclusively great games against each other. That felt like Game 3 of a Grand Finals series. United still the clear favourite, but March should be fun as hell #NBL24.

Haven't watched the game yet, but Brisbane outscored the Sixers by 5 in the ~7 mins of Sobey + White time in a 7 point loss fwiw. More on that duo here 👇 #NBL24

Since their 2-5 start, the Wildcats are 8-2. Even more impressive -- they're 6-1 in close games during this run (5 point game in the last 5 minutes). By my very rough count, in those 45 close game mins (2 OTs), Bryce Cotton has scored 51 points on 66% True Shooting. #NBL24

New from me: Another edition of NBL Takeaways, just in time for Round 13. Examined in this one: Bryce Cotton doing everything, the Breakers causing mismatch hell, SEM's attempts to solve their spacing issues, Bobi Klintman, and more. #NBL24 medium.com/@BradWinter122…

Tassie are 10-9 - the exact same record they had at this point in each of their first 2 seasons. Seemed unthinkable just 3 rounds ago. Also illogical given the talent upgrades on those first 2 teams. Still think they're a real title contender, but a big few rounds ahead #NBL24

At the shallowest level of analysis possible, this Kings team is completely aura-less. They're not physical, their body language is bad, and they don't really have an identity 14 rounds in. I want to believe in them, but can't imagine any team fears them at the moment. #NBL24

Somehow +7 in ~6 straight minutes for the bizarre MacDonald-Barker-Steindl-Bairstow-Krslovic lineup #NBL24

*If* the Breakers are in financial trouble, I'm not sure how moving the team to the Gold Coast (or most other places) would help them? Unless, of course, there's already a buyer waiting in the wings who wants the team out of NZ. #NBL24

Need a 30 for 30 or some sort of 3000 word tell-all article on this Kings season asap. #NBL24

Just predicted the remaining games for fun and I had four teams finishing on 13 wins in a tie for 5th. There is for sure going to be some obscene point differential chicanery in the final round this season -- can only hope it spurs on a change to the tiebreaker system. #NBL24

Stop. Bitching. About. NBL. Refs. Every follower of every sport says the same shite about their officials. Stop whinging. Good players and plays win games 99.9% of the time.

Can't say enough about how ridiculously good these past three games have been. All-time stuff. Easily the best Finals series since at least 2012. Sunday has a chance to be one of the greatest NBL spectacles we've ever seen. #NBL24

Very likely the worst I've ever seen an NBL offence perform in this first half. Can't recall seeing a team just drawing completely dead possession after possession like this. More turnovers than field goals in a half has to be some kind of first. #NBL25
