Basketball On The Internet.

HOW much of a fuss should the tweet on X by Andrew Bogut really have created? Was Bogey stirring trouble or drawing attention to a crisis in Adelaide? Should there have been a crisis meeting? Joey Wright and I work our way through it at this week's Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast.

No sooner had the fallout from Bogut's tweet settled down than his Kings head coach Brian Goorjian created his own controversy by having an expletive-riddled crack at South East Melbourne guard Owen Foxwell.

Yes, we get to that too, but first revisit the job Aussie Olympian Jock Landale did after being traded to Atlanta Hawks.

A five-and-a-half hour drive from Memphis and he walked in to star for the Hawks that night!

We also review the tightening race for NBL ladder spots, not to mention first place and the run home by those who covet it.

The Sydney v South East Melbourne game caught our attention and we debate whether coaches should be allowed to speak directly to opposition players mid-game. We also question whether the current standard of commentary is helping or hurting the league’s long-term credibility.

That's a great question from one of our most astute viewers.

There’s also a focus into Brisbane’s future, Gold Coast expansion talk, controversial fines for blocking broadcast cameras, and the age-old question — can former coaches and journalists ever truly enjoy basketball like fans again?

As always, viewer questions drive some of the strongest discussion, with honest, no-nonsense takes you won’t hear anywhere else.
