NOT exactly sure which one but we're pretty sure one of us said "Illawarra in Five" and so it has proved for the 2025 NBL Championship, and co-host Joey Wright was there at The Sandpit for the Grand Final, which we thoroughly dissect in this week's Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast.

WHAT is going on in the NBL Final? Can Illawarra or Melbourne graft a home win at all? It's too late for United but on this week's Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast, Joey Wright and I examine what the Hawks must do to buck this unprecedented trend in Sunday's Game 5.
