Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: A Great talks about the Greats
WITH regular podcast partner Joey Wright taking a well-earned break - our 25-minutes a week pod can be extraordinarily debilitating! - this round's Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE features a very special guest panellist with whom I get to relive some of the very best of the NBL.
Brad&Boti: The birthday boy is back!
WE'RE back this week after a quick respite while Brad&Boti podcast co-host Brad Rosen recovered from his landmark milestone birthday celebrations. And we're not holding back. Should Adelaide Lightning fire coach Nat Hurst? Are the Perth Wildcats selfish?
NBL: The Bryce is Right ... and Sensational Too
IF he hadn't done it already, yesterday Perth Wildcats superstar Bryce Cotton cemented himself amid the NBL's all-time greats, topped James Crawford's club record for single-game points and turned on a magnificent, magical, memorable 59-point solo performance against New Zealand Breakers.
Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: No Brain at John Cain II
YES, Joey Wright and I have our views of what occurred in the NBL during and after the Melbourne-Adelaide melee and the fan fervour, and we don't really care if you're a United or 36ers fan when we address it at our Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast.
Boomers good as Goulding
CHRIS Goulding today delivered a 3-point shooting bonanza for the ages, nailing a career-best 10 as Australia ultimately swamped South Korea 98-75 to qualify for next year's FIBA Asia Cup in Saudi Arabia. Goulding turned away Korea's comeback attempt as he swished 10-of-16 threes, plus a bonus free throw in his 31-point extravaganza.
Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: The No Brain at John Cain
IS there some kind of weird irony the "No Brain at John Cain" occurred at 9:11 in the Melbourne-Adelaide fourth quarter? Podcast partner Joey Wright and I look into it, along with James Batemon's 51-point haul in a packed Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE.
Brad&Boti: We're agreeing again! Must be the water
IT was uncanny but for (only) the fourth time in 158 episodes of the Brad&Boti podcast, colleague Brad Rosen and I again could not split the NBL's Player of the Week but were apart on the WNBL's most imposing performer in another round of surprise results.
Why lie NBL? Embrace your history
IT never ceases to amaze, amuse and ultimately bemuse longtime NBL fans how today's league continuously endeavours to bury its past beneath a relentless stream of recency bias diarrhoea, revisionist history and comical justifications masked behind terms such as "modern era", "40-minute era" and "second era" to promote "alternative facts" on anything record-related.
NBL: A great one from Batemon
EVEN Brisbane import James Batemon himself had never seen anything like it in his career than the 51-point tour de force he performed today in a 105-84 rout of Perth at Boondall, the scene of some the great exploits of legendary Bullets' championship winners such as Leroy Loggins and Cal Bruton.
Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: Time to clean up media
TIME-OUT NO FLOP ZONE co-host Joey Wright limped back into action from the Masters Games in Gold Coast with this week's revisit of the most interesting aspects of the NBL and NBA. And there was heaps to consider after Tasmania's resurgence and Chris Goulding's offensive explosion.
