Basketball On The Internet.

WHAT really happened in that overhyped so-called NBL "brawl" between Brisbane and Adelaide and were the penalties appropriate? Joey Wright and I discuss it in detail at our Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast this week before we also break down several team breakdowns.

After all, injuries are just killing off team after team, with Ben Ayre's groin innury the latest to further sabotage Tasmania's season.

What is going on now at Melbourne? It is time to be alarmed because New Zealand's win over United was a gem.

The growing question is where are all these injuries coming from? Over-training? Load management? Scheduling? Something else?

We also get into the league chatter around Gold Coast as a potential new NBL franchise, break down a bizarre 8-second backcourt non-call, and debate whether signing an injury-prone but legit NBA-level player could actually be a smart move in the NBL’s shorter season.

Plus: Boti’s Team of the Week, a “cheat code” discussion (Lamar Odom-style unicorns), and a look ahead to the Game of the Round.

Key results and talking points covered include: the Nick Rakecovic-Hunter Maldonado incident, NZ’s win over Melbourne, Cairns’ big performance (including a huge night from Jack McVeigh), plus standout efforts from Nathan Sobey, Dylan Windler, Jesse Edwards, Karim Lopez, Lachie Barker and more.
