Canterbury Rams again showing the ability to hang tough and grind out wins when the chips are down. That's as important as being able to dominate come playoffs time.

Another awesome session for NZ music month and international museum day at Toitū today. Here's a Dunedin classic. Thanks for having me again @OSMDunedin https://t.co/YPYFpRga4T

100 games in blue and gold for Matthew Bardsley. It's awesome seeing his growth through that. Gone from a plucky scrapper to a genuine elite-level perimeter defender in that time. His scoring game has come a million miles since he arrived in Dunedin, too.

Tonight, we celebrate Matt Bardsley as he plays his 100th game in the Sal's NBL! 🎉 What an achievement! 📸 Louise Emanuel, Nathan Nukunuku, Oliver Peters https://t.co/xxrQyhbyaD

I have a lot of time for Crystal Palace. For six months in London I worked at a special needs secondary school near Palace. They had a Christmas party with our kids & some staff. Nearly the whole team showed up and by all accounts were amazing with the kids. That's never left me.

The Otago Nuggets have announced they have released import Jose Perez. #NZNBL

Thank you to @OSMDunedin for having me as part of their NZ Music Month festivities today. It was the first of three Sundays I'm headlining an open piano session - if anyone is in Dunedin and wants to play, come along next week. https://t.co/yvJ46k2RP0

More and more we're seeing Taylor Britt take the leap (at the next level) from a clean and tidy back-up, to a guy who can be a go-to player.

Huge first half from the Tall Blacks there. Big lift in intensity, huge effort on the boards.

My ninth season of Dunedin local basketball coverage. Mid City Magic look very strong on the men's side, maybe even more so than normal. Women's is a little more open. Ajax at full strength will be tough, the Andy Bay Falcons could be a sleeper. https://t.co/OfQi9taR41

The fact that a 26-year-old can leave a club after 20 years is absolutely bonkers in itself

Trent Alexander-Arnold @TrentAA

After 20 years at Liverpool Football Club, now is the time for me to confirm that I will be leaving at the end of the season. This is easily the hardest decision I’ve ever made in my life. I know many of you have wondered why or been frustrated that I haven’t spoken about this https://t.co/emAw5RvXq0

Rough midseason NZNBL power ranking (with eye to strength by playoff time) Rams Saints Tuatara - different beast with Rob Loe Airs Bulls - could be above Airs Hawks - big scrap on for this spot though Jets Whai Sharks Giants Nuggets (ducks for cover) - haven't won without Withers

A little late on this one. But pretty big news on Kiwi hoops star Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones' potential future here 👀

Guardian Sports @UCSD_sports

Multiple sources have told The UCSD Guardian in recent weeks that despite being out of eligibility, Hayden Gray (who entered the transfer portal earlier this month), McGhie, and Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones all want to play another year of college ball.

The Otago Nuggets are 3-9 on the season. With Todd Withers in their line-up, they are 2-1. Without him they are 1-8, and the win was against the Panthers. The man can hoop and he plays winning basketball. #NZNBL

The issue with the Indian Panthers was never the concept (for me). It's the way it's been done. Targets missed, no communication with the public. When people raised valid issues, they got shut down. As cracks appeared those involved just doubled down until their hands were forced
