Basketball On The Internet.

WHAT on Earth just happened in NBL Round 2? Both Brad Rosen and I were stunned by what players such as Elijah Pepper and "Super" Max Mackinnon produced offensively, and Malique Lewis defensively ... and we thrash it out on our Brad&Boti podcast.

This episode we're still a couple of weeks from the WNBL tip-off so our focus is exclusively on the men and we certainly have our concerns about a couple of clubs, most notably Illawarra.

We review the way Mackinnon has taken to his expanded role at Brisbane Bullets before we turn to look at a few stand-out moments from Round 2.

And what could be a bigger talking point than the non-call that allowed Taipans' centre Keanu Pinder to hack the bejesus out of Tasmania's Dakota Mathias on his 3-point attempt seconds from the end of that thriller in Cairns?

Have you ever seen a worse non-call?

What does DNA stand for when it comes to South East Melbourne? Shooting the 3-ball at 4-of-41 in the Throwdown with Melbourne was difficult to watch, especially the Phoenix's four-point final period. But their absence of the relentless pressure for which Josh King teams are famous was glaring.

How is New Zealand travelling? Since that opening round win over Illawarra, it's been a pair of narrow road losses. And what about those Hawks? Oo wee, they sure no longer even loosely resemble the team that won the championship in 2025.

There are big issues to address for Illawarra, especially now with key injuries compounding their 0-3 woes.

How do our Top Six's sit? Who was the Player of the Round and what was it's best moment?

Brad is fired up for his Rosen Rattler and I follow suit with a return to a Nagy Nasty. There's all this AND more and you can get to it now by clicking this LINK.
