Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: Decals, NBA, Cole, it's all here

THE NBA has tipped off its 2026-27 season and both Joey Wright and I were glued to our TV screens to see how well the opening nights travelled, so we could talk about The Show in this week's Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast. It's a short discussion, there is just so much NBL to review.
Decals! Come on. Let's slip into the Wrap
SLIP, SLOP, SLAP used to be the Australian answer to avoiding sunburn. Now it should be used to describe the forever worsening situation with on-court decals (adverts) on which players routinely slip, then slide into a slop. The NBL (and WNBL) should be slapped for letting this absurd injury risk continue.
From hot Cole to Fire, Sunday a fun finale
MELBOURNE's NBA star Cole Anthony put on a show as United ousted defending NBL champion Sydney, Jaylin Galloway made a triumphant return as Cairns rocked New Zealand, and Jaz Shelley not only had her best offensive game as a Sydney Flame but also shut down WNBL star Abbey Ellis.
Hawks crushed, 36ers blush, Venom sting and Lynx jinx

SATURDAY night might be alright for fightin' but Sat arvo certainly isn't if you're the Illawarra Hawks, Angus Glover led South East to a near rampage over Adelaide while in WNBL action yesterday, a depleted Geelong Venom stung Southside, and Perth's Teonni Key left Lightning gasping.
Knight in shining armour and Bourne supremacy
ISABELLE Bourne delivered her best game for Sydney as the unbeaten WNBL leader saw off Canberra, while new Perth import point guard Brandon Knight showed his bona fides with two big endgame plays that secured a gripping one-point win for the Wildcats over battling Melbourne United.
Carr cruises and Hanks banks a record
SYDNEY Kings import Andrew Carr last night set a club record in the defending NBL champs' road rout of a very ill Illawarra while in Melbourne, Southside Flyers recruit Hannah Hank produced a career-best performance in a stunning WNBL takedown of Tasmania after the Jewels led by 14 early.
Neto is neato but Jackies ignite and swarm
BRISBANE's injury replacement import PG Raul Neto made a very promising debut against Tasmania in their Ignite Cup showdown last night in Hobart, but the twin absences of pivots Tyrell Harrison and Jacob Holt made the task of holding off the swarming JackJumpers next to impossible.
Abbey, Isaac, Carlin, Darcee - all in NBL-WNBL wrap
ABBEY Ellis last night joined WNBL's "immortals" when she singlehandedly torched the Lightning with a breath-taking 47-point game, the like of which the league has not seen in 21 years, doing it in the same city Isaac Humphries announced his NBL retirement.
Brad&Boti: Isaac, the WNBL tip off, NBL wrap and more

LOOKS like it's big news week as Brad Rosen and I discuss Isaac Humphries retiring from NBL action and give a serious in-depth look at the (mostly) thrilling results from the WNBL's opening round in a Brad&Boti podcast that isn't for the faint-of-heart!
Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE: A sure thing about sure things

WHAT a round that was for the NBL, Joey Wright and I both bombing for the second week in a row on our “sure thing” tips – and this time we even took different games! But it's not all "oops" news at our Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast as we get stuck into that amazing round that was.
