This week on Time-Out: The No Flop Zone, Joey Wright and Boti Nagy unpack a chaotic NBL week — highlighted by the Brisbane v Adelaide brawl, New Zealand upsetting Melbourne, and a growing question: where are all these injuries coming from? (Over-training? Load management? Something else?)

We also get into the league chatter around Gold Coast as a potential new NBL franchise, break down a bizarre 8-second backcourt non-call, and debate whether signing an injury-prone but legit NBA-level player could actually be a smart move in the NBL’s shorter season.

Plus: Boti’s Team of the Week, a “cheat code” discussion (Lamar Odom-style unicorns), and a look ahead to the Game of the Round.

Key results and talking points covered include: the Bris–Adel incident, NZ’s win over Melbourne, Cairns’ big performance (including a huge night from Jack McVeigh), plus standout efforts from Nathan Sobey, Dylan Windler, Jesse Edwards, Karim Lopez, and more

Joey Wright and Boti Nagy are back with a big one: injuries piling up across the league, Perth’s on-court blow-up after a loss, and an Ignite Cup foul count that has everyone talking.

We also break down Torrey Craig’s impact, Scott Roth’s classy words on Brian Goorjian after the Kings beat Tasmania, and whether Illawarra can still sneak into the playoffs from a tough position.

Plus: questionable technical fouls, whether WNBL referees are more consistent than the NBL, more “what if” Aussie players, and a follow-up on junior transfer fees.

Show notes highlights: injuries across most rosters (including Shea Ili, Tyson Walker, Rob Baker, Sam Mennenga, Jaron Rillie, David Duke, Bul Kuol and more), Perth’s post-game row involving Jo Lual-Acuil Jr. and Kristian Doolittle, and the Ignite Cup free-throw disparity (NZ 49 FTAs vs SEM 19) that sparked debate

The first-ever live pre-show banter kicks off another massive episode of Time-Out – The No Flop Zone as Joey and Boti break down one of the most telling rounds of the NBL season so far.

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

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

Plus, junior basketball fees, Cairns fan frustration, and the ultimate NBL “what if?” debate.

#BryceCotton #NBL2025 #AustralianBasketball

Joey Wright is back, and together with Boti Nagy, we take a deep, honest look back at one of the most dramatic years in NBL history.

From Bryce Cotton’s stunning move to Adelaide, to Illawarra’s championship run, billionaire ownership battles, imports imploding, records falling, and legends lost — 2025 had everything.

We revisit the moments that defined the year:
• Montrezl Harrell’s public fallout
• Tyler Harvey’s championship-winning three
• Matthew Dellavedova’s class act handing over Player of the Game
• Jack McVeigh’s monster contract
• Javale McGee arriving in the NBL
• Melbourne United’s blistering 9–0 start — and collapse
• Stu Lash’s failed coaching experiment
• Bryce Cotton’s jaw-dropping 53-point game
• And the players, coaches, and people we lost along the way

We also answer viewer questions about end-of-game decision-making, broken seasons, dysfunctional teams, and whether the modern NBL is too reliant on the three-point shot.

This is not just a recap — it’s the story of a league at a crossroads.🕯️ IN MEMORIAM – 2025

We honour those we lost this year:
Darryl “The Iceman” Pearce
Rick Longley
Alan Hughes
Alan Dawe
Kevin Braswell
Colin Burdett
Jeff Carey
Roger King

This week on Time-Out: The No Flop Zone, Joey Wright is away and NBL legend Al Green steps into the chair alongside Boti Nagy — and the conversation does not hold back.

We ask the big questions: will we ever see a 70-point game again? Are coaches partly responsible for the mess they complain about every week?

Al breaks down his all-time favourite Adelaide 36ers import, reacts to Jack McVeigh’s outrageous 47-point performance, and gives a sharp assessment of Nathan Sobey’s season so far.

We also unpack roster moves across the league, including Hunter Maldonado being axed, Ian Clarke’s arrival, and whether Javale McGee is part of Illawarra’s problems — or just an easy scapegoat.

Add in three overtime thrillers, foul-baiting debates, commentator criticism, and a genuine discussion about Christmas Day games, and you’ve got one of the most honest episodes yet.

#Bryce Cotton #Adelaide 36ers #NBL Officiating
This week on Time-Out – The No Flop Zone, Joey and Boti dive straight into a fiery Round 12: inconsistent officiating, suspensions and overtime thrillers.
Nick Rakocevic’s suspension headlines a week where player quality may have officially surpassed umpiring standards. Melbourne and Adelaide serve up a wild overtime classic, Sydney’s weekend impresses, Tasmania keeps humming, and we dig into why swearing has become such a talking point in Australian basketball.
We also unpack the Mitch Creek storyline, whether teams should be training at night, who manages a “hot hand” properly, and whether Stu Lash has been given a free pass.
And of course — building our team, coaching moves, and match of the week.

This week on Time-Out: The No Flop Zone, Bryce Cotton returns to Perth and the crowd’s reaction says it all. We break it down. Plus, is Illawarra in free fall? Can Melbourne stay consistent? And is Adelaide finally turning the corner?

Joey and Boti also dig into whether the NBL needs to bring back the All-Star Game—with an Australia vs NZ vs Imports twist. And if Joey were GM of the Brisbane Bullets… would Stu Lash still have a job?

We also look at the best role players this season, questionable marketing choices in stadiums, and preview a massive Adelaide v Melbourne game.
