Basketball On The Internet.

HOW good was the NBL season-opener in Hobart between Melbourne and the home Tassie JackJumpers? It was at finals level and a winning choice for our game of the week as Joey Wright agreed on episode 1 of Season 2 of the Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast.

It stood out and how about Milton Doyle, the heartbreaker for his former fanbase? Point to make?

In this week's podcast, Joey and I review the worsening situation for Montrezl Harrell and the 36ers, asking the question: Where do they go from here?

Tasmania’s Bryce Hamilton was lighting up the scoreboard in his NBL debut in Hobart and Perth.

And how about John Brown III at South East Melbourne? He easily raked in six steals while Joey was also pumped for what Ben Ayre did with the Jackies.

Several NBL coaches are already feeling the pressure, though for very widely varying reasons.

And come on now, what is all this "positionless basketball" malarkey all about? Joey answers that question of whether it is just the latest buzz trend or the real future of the game.

Round 2 sees: Melbourne vs SEM, Cairns vs Brisbane, NZ vs Perth, Illawarra vs Tasmania, Sydney vs Cairns, Adelaide vs Brisbane.

Viewer Topics Include:

* NBL All-Time Aussie and Import Starting Fives

*Refs shutting down arguments with brilliant comebacks

*Why defenders don’t line up for the first free throw

The only drawback of the audio versions?
