Illawarra

Uh, they've got a win.

They got back on track against the Illawarra Hawks.

But I'm a little bit concerned for, for Justin Tatum.

Uh, uh, I know he, he's a very vocal coach.

And I'm not saying this year, but in the short, uh, future.

I, I think he ...

Will it get tense there at Illawarra?

Well, mate, I, I, I actually, I, I like that point of view about-

Uh, it's great to have your company.

The Friday night wrap, uh, in the NBL, Illawarra easily accounted for Adelaide.

Uh, Perth, four-point winners over Southeast Melbourne.

Phoenix in the NFL.

We mentioned about the 36ers.

The coach, Trevor Gleeson, on tonight's game against Illawarra.

pleased with our young guys coming in and really stepping up obviously jacob's had a great start great pre-season then kiana last week and uh dionte's just starting to get in there so uh and then our older guys are taking responsibility to bryce and and nick and and z so we get jj back into full health that's another key that gives us a boost can't wait to get on the court

Now, it'll be exciting to watch them tonight.

So Illawarra are yet to win a game, zip in three.

They're under real pressure, but on home court, they'll be looking to fight in the sixes for back-to-back wins for the first time this year if they can get it done.

Now, look, if you're upset about some of those list management statements by Jarrod Roughead as an Adelaide Crows supporter, well, just look out and beware.

But until then, it's our job to kind of hold it down for them.

With the sort of quick turnaround, you've got Friday night, Illawarra Hawks, Sunday, New Zealand.

How do you guys go about, and I noticed that when we lost the Perth game, I want to bounce back really quickly and have that victory at home.

Is it a similar thing when you're away, you sort of have to bind up really, really close because you're playing with no supporters as such and then get yourselves up?

And if we do drop one, it's kind of next game mentality is how to move on and learn from it best we can and attack the next game with fresh minds and go after it.

Goldfish mentality, I reckon they call that.

Hey, just before we let you go, so Illawarra tomorrow, yet to win a game, they're zipping three, and they're without a point guard.

Is that a strange preparation that you have to do because you usually would prepare for someone like an attacking, playmaking point guard for a team?

topic…

Yeah, the first topic that I was planning, Illawarra.

And I realized in hindsight, we led with Illawarra last week on the back of the Darius Days breaking news.

And I felt like I didn't want to hit... like a negative Illawarra story two weeks in a row.

So I'm going to make an executive decision, Jace, and I'm going to flip it.

And instead of talking about the game that you were at, which was that Illawarra-Sydney game, which we'll talk about, we'll talk about the throwdown, which felt like it happened ages ago, but that was last Thursday.

We'll talk about Max McKinnon.

I've got some New Zealand breakers juice that I think people will be interested in.
