Basketball On The Internet.

JOEY Wright and I are "caught in the act" at this week's Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast, talking about the 36ers-JackJumpers' NBL game on a hot mic before the episode fires up. And we certainly do fire up this round after watching some memorable games of NBL action.

It was arguably the finest regular season round of 2025-26, with even the Kings' blow-out over New Zealand full of merit.

But how about Cairns clipping Melbourne in Bendigo, the gripping Phoenix overtime win over Illawarra, Tasmania stopping the 36ers in Adelaide, Perth escaping South East, New Zealand shocking the Hawks and a depleted Sydney adding to United's woes?

With dynasties under pressure, emotions boiling over, injuries mounting, and the standard of play rising fast, a new question is answered: are we closer than ever to another individual 70-point game?

We dig into Brian Goorjian’s emotional post-game reaction, Melbourne and Illawarra’s worrying trends, the Kings’ ceiling and even Brisbane’s ownership questions.

Plus in our Viewer's Topics segment, we delve into a local basketball issue about the ethics and legalities of junior transfer fees, any validity in Cairns' fan frustration, and the ultimate NBL “what if?” debate.
