Basketball On The Internet.

WE'VE said it all year - that Adelaide had the personnel to reach the NBL Grand Final and Sydney Kings the depth to trouble them, and now we have it - the Championship Series so many people wanted. Joey Wright and I go to work on it at our Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast.

It's a best-of-five series coming up from Saturday and, of course, we differ on how far the series will go as we break down everything you need to know before Game 1 in Sydney.

Sydney swept Perth 2–0 in the semi finals and Adelaide battled past South East Melbourne in three.

Now it’s the two best teams standing.

This week we dive into:
Bryce Cotton’s scoring average this finals series
Whether the Adelaide crowd got to Nathan Sobey
What Perth and SEM must do moving forward
The emotional impact of Ken Cole’s death and whether it lifted Adelaide
A tactical breakdown of Game 1
Championship predictions

Plus we tackle big-picture topics:
Do modern imports truly understand how strong the NBL has become?
Are vacant playoff seats about pricing?
How would we fix NBA tanking?
How important is FIBA experience when recruiting imports?
If Patty Mills is healthy and playing, does he walk straight back into the Boomers?
We also acknowledge the deaths of Ken Cole and Mike Slusher, and send thoughts to Tony Barnett.
