Brad&Boti: Phoenix rise after Mike drop

WOW. How often have we seen it over the ages? A club sacks the coach of an under-performing team and the very next game, an interim coach takes the same players to a memorable win? That happened in the NBL last week and podcast partner Brad Rosen and I tackle this at our Brad&Boti pod.
Brad&Boti: Top Six or Pick up Sticks?

IT was another huge round for the NBL with Cairns Taipans, minus Taran Armstrong and Tanner Groves, brought right back to the field by Perth and Sydney, Brad&Boti podcast colleague Brad Rosen at that game and also to see Illawarra humble Tasmania.
Time Out - The No Flop Zone is back on YouTube
WE ARE BACK! Not sure everyone in the NBL will exactly be thrilled by that news but our Time Out - No Flop Zone podcast has returned, featuring the wisdom and insider knowledge of legendary coach Joey Wright (3xCoach of the Year and NBL Championship coach) and myself, Boti Nagy (nothing impressive to put in these brackets).
NBL: There's a foul smell brewing
THE NBL made it clear before the season tipped off it was going to speed up the game - no on-court huddles holding up free throw attempts the most obvious innovation. But when they stop calling obvious and blatant fouls just to keep the game moving along? That's what Round 4 threw up, sadly.
NBL: Such is Life for Kelly

MIKE Kelly may have been the only person last night who did not realise he was coaching for his NBL career when his wayward South East Melbourne served up more dross and another loss for 0-5. Most of the coaches sounded out on the quiet knew if the Phoenix fell to 0-5, the trigger would be pulled on Kelly's tenure.
Brad&Boti: We've changed our format and we're rolling!

BRAD&BOTI: We've changed our format! Those of you who regularly tune in to our Brad&Boti podcast, featuring Sydney multi-media man Brad Rosen and myself, will notice we're doing it a little differently now we've passed that milestone 150-episode mark.
NBL: Taipan triumphs amid more TV trash
OK, got a confession to make. Did not look deeply enough into Adam Forde's Cairns Taipans roster or expect Taran Armstrong to be so good so quickly. On the flip side of a happy discovery, WTF was the NBL thinking cutting away from the thrilling Illawarra-Adelaide finish to bring us Sydney-Brisbane preview drivel?
NBL: Flummoxed Phoenix run one good play
PICTURE this. There's 3.1 seconds to go in an NBL ball game. Trailing, South East Melbourne Phoenix coach Mike Kelly takes time-out to draw up a final play. His on-floor team of Ben Ayre, Owen Foxwell, Angus Glover, Malique Lewis and Matt Hurt execute it perfectly to score right on the buzzer.
NBL: There is still a lot to like

YES, terrible and self-indulgent TV commentary aside, there was much to enjoy about last round's NBL fixtures, so after last week's blog, let's say turnabout is fair play. There was plenty that resonated (and still much that doesn't) but let's stay positive and open, starting with Justin Tatum.

BRAD&BOTI: Sydney's multi-media basketball guru Brad Rosen and I sat down to take a review of the NBL's first couple of rounds and through that, assess where the 10 clubs sit and how they look longer term in our Brad&Boti podcast this week.
