Every team still with an NBL1 game to play at least but my NBL1 West award predictions. Really feel uncomfortable leaving out Claire Jacobs and Steph Gorman from either women's teams, but once I narrowed it down to 12, two players were going to be horribly unlucky

#NBL25 Awards Night tomorrow. Hoops Heaven #BasketballHustle team all agrees on Bryce Cotton for Andrew Gaze Trophy but most other NBL winners debatable. Do Cody Ellis, Chris Pike and Simon Mitchell know what they are talking about?

Match winning display from Shea Ili for Melbourne United gets top votes from Damian Martin in #TheDamo for #NBL25 Round 19. Mitch Norton not far behind. Fascinating finish in NBL Best Defensive Player now between Shea and Wani Swaka Lo Buluk. Even Will Magnay if he can make miraculous return
