Basketball On The Internet.

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.

We look at exactly what Justin Tatum achieved in his short time as Hawks head coach, where William "Davo" Hickey, Lachlan Olbrich and Sam Froling now sit and where this championship mirrored Tasmania's in 2024.

Also under review from Joey's courtside seat is where to now for Melbourne United and players such as Matthew Dellavedova, Chris Goulding and Ian Clark.

Last week we both thought Trey Kell playing the "hurt" card was a poor decision but he certainly salvaged his reputation with his Game 5 performance of a near triple-double.

What was our view of Delly's extraordinary gesture of sportsmanship in surrendering his "Larry Sengstock Medal for Championship Series MVP" to Davo Hickey and much, much more.

Viewers topics include:

*Who makes the decisions on which free agents to secure;

*Is Joey really a fan of the TV commentary teams;

*Our best pair of basketball boots - hey, you asked for it;

*What is at the heart of the "billionaire wars";

*Would Joey return to NBL coaching if Geelong Supercats are revived;

*Is Andrew Gaze our biggest flopper;

*And who would win if Illawarra's 2025 champs played the club's 2001 champs?
