Jack HeverinHOST
And I
Derek RuckerGUEST
think Andrew Gaze pointed out in the broadcast of the Illawarra-Cannes game that perhaps the count wasn't right.
Derek RuckerGUEST
Kendrick was brilliant last season in getting that championship and the championship series MVP.
Derek RuckerGUEST
But if you do the math, he's never going to add up to what Bryce Cotton has accumulated.
Derek RuckerGUEST
I think in that game the other night, I highlighted the fact that...
Derek RuckerGUEST
they force you to make a lot of good defensive decisions.
Derek RuckerGUEST
And if you stumble, like Illawarra did, and we'll touch on their defensive woes, but if you stumble, then they'll penalise you.
Derek RuckerGUEST
And that's the beauty of the way the Scott Roth-schemed
Jack HeverinHOST
And, and I guess my question to you, as one of the greatest point guards that this league's ever had, is this Milton Doyle's fault or not? Are they, are they asking him to play a position and to play a role that he's really never played in his career, and is that fair?
Derek RuckerHOST
Yeah, well, coming into the season, I thought he would be able to give them ample enough play at the point guard at the level as to where the Hawks would be really competitive.
Derek RuckerHOST
But we really never know how a player's gonna fit until we actually see him in game and in the season when everyone cranks up, and I don't think it's gonna work.
Derek RuckerHOST
In fact, I think the Hawks need to make another import change, and I hate saying that because I like both those guys, Doyle and Martin, but something has to give, Jack.
Derek RuckerHOST
They already have one import-
Jack HeverinHOST
Yep
Derek RuckerHOST
But I think you need a point guard and you need another big.
Jack HeverinHOST
Yeah, particularly now with Mason Peatling out for the remainder of the season.
Damon LowryGUEST
Hey, just a lazy Friday afternoon, getting ready for the game tonight.
Damon LowryGUEST
Illawarra Hawks at home against the Tasmanian Jack jumpers.
Damon LowryGUEST
Um, so just getting ready for that one, but yeah, just, um, enjoying all this NBL real life drama.
Damon LowryGUEST
It's just been awesome.
Joel CaineHOST
Hey, uh, Coach Tatum, Coach Tatum, uh, he's got his 100th game tonight.
Joel CaineHOST
It's been a slow start for the Hawks.
Joel CaineHOST
Can they respond in a milestone game for him?
Damon LowryGUEST
Wow, that...
Kelsey BrowneHOST
We've got a massive game tonight.
Kelsey BrowneHOST
The Illawarra Hawks are hosting the Tasmania Jackjumpers.
Kelsey BrowneHOST
And Tasmania has been a team that, despite the injuries, have come out with wins.
Kelsey BrowneHOST
And, yes, their home is a fortress.
Derek RuckerGUEST
game so huge so early this season? It's stressing me
Kelsey BrowneHOST
out.
Kelsey BrowneHOST
But 1-5, would that set off massive alarm bells for you, for Illawarra Hawks?
Derek RuckerGUEST
Big time.

Andy MaherHOST
Yep.
Andrew GazeHOST
Bad news for, uh, the Illawarra Hawks.
Andrew GazeHOST
A great mate, uh, uh, Jay O'Brien, uh, letting us know-
Andy MaherHOST
What's he done?
Andrew GazeHOST
Get on the line, Andy.
Andrew GazeHOST
Just before we get to it, bad news for the Illawarra Hawks.
Andrew GazeHOST
Great, mate.
Andrew GazeHOST
Jay O'Brien, letting us know.
Brayden HeslehurstHOST
We know they do have a lot of injuries and everything, but there seems to be a ...
Brayden HeslehurstHOST
I don't know what it is, but even going to the Illawarra Hawks game on Friday night where they got spanked, and again, I know they got a lot of injuries, and that was kind of a perfect storm for the Illawarra Hawks to get that win, but what's your feeling being around that group and seeing it in person on Sunday?
Jason CadeeHOST
There's frustration.
Jason CadeeHOST
Uh, you can see it in some of the guys' faces, you can see it in some of the coaching staff's faces.
Damon LowryGUEST
So yes, teams are taking doubling Bryce way more serious than I've seen in the past.
Damon LowryGUEST
Illawarra Hawks have always done a good job at it, but now I see the New Zealand Breakers dabble with it a little bit to a, to a slightly lesser degree.
Damon LowryGUEST
But you gotta get some more points out of, um, Zylan Cheatham.
Damon LowryGUEST
Like-
BrainoHOST
AJ Johnson, 5% owned.
BrainoHOST
NBL great AJ Johnson for the Illawarra Hawks.
BrainoHOST
$3.9 million.
BrainoHOST
Again, another cheapie.
BrainoHOST
Yeah, yeah, good luck to you.
BrainoHOST
Hopefully...
BrainoHOST
Actually, I bought AJ Johnson in the back end of NBL Supercoach, I think, two years ago when he was playing for the Illawarra Hawks.
BrainoHOST
He was a great little kind of nuff, cheapy cash generator for me.
