Basketball On The Internet.

HOW often does the road team win in the NBL? Well, eight out of eight times in Round 7, a round that gave us Illawarra beating the Wildcats in Perth, and South East and Adelaide dropping "sure thing" home games. On this week's Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast, Joey Wright and I examine exactly why.

Sydney beating Perth in Perth may not have been a huge surprise but the Kings then heading to Tassie and beating the JackJumpers was a major statement.

For the Ants, further injuries to import David Johnson and backup big Ben Gold meant they limped into Melbourne ripe for the plucking by the Phoenix.

But Tasmania was all over this and turned in an outstanding performance to regrab a share of first place with Sydney.

The Bullets beating the 36ers in Adelaide after losing to Cairns was also a big surprise, especially with Max Mackinnon ruled out of the travelling team.

Bullets replacement import Raul Neto is enjoying life in the NBL and open to other offers when his stint in Brisbane concludes.

One of our intrepid duo suggests Illawarra should be ringing his phone and the another says they already should be sitting next to him!

DeMarcus Cousins. Does HoopsFest in January in Perth really need another NBA "ambassador" or should the NBL move on and reward its own?

Coaches Gordon Herbert and Trevor Gleeson have had their say, not to mention Cole Anthony as Joey and I review Round 7, pick our round MVPs and All Star 5s before giving predictions for Round 8.
