How postponed matches have caused headaches for a handful of teams but came at the right time for the Adelaide 36ers, how South East Melbourne signing Zhou Qi "speaks volumes" for the NBL as a pathway to the NBA, how many eyes will be trained on his meeting with Brisbane Bullets centre Chuanxing Liu, and more.

It's hard to imagine a more exciting and dramatic round in the NBL and we break it all down on this week's episode of Hoops Heaven's Basketball Hustle. The NBL season caught fire in remarkable fashion in Round 2 with the Illawarra Hawks-Sydney Kings rivalry continuing, the Adelaide 36ers delivering a huge comeback win, the Perth Wildcats-Brisbane Bullets playing a double overtime thriller, but all the talk was around the Melbourne Throwdown. South East Melbourne Phoenix beat Melbourne United but all the talk was around Mitch Creek dunking over Matthew Dellavedova, his celebration afterwards and then Mason Peatling coming in to flatten him. We break all that down on this week's show. Not only that, Damian Martin gives his opinion on controversial comments towards Zhou Qi, Dean Vickerman's words on Kyle Adnam's defence and that's just one game! Not only do we break down all the action from Round 2, but Damian Martin gives his votes in #TheDamo Best Defensive Player award thanks to Everlast Drinks, Shawn Redhage gives his votes in #TheRedhage Player of the Year and we announce the latest winner of #TheGalen Best Team Man. It's then time for this week's guest and it's the one and only Adam Gibson. He talks about why he's not ready to call time after his 460-game, two-time championship winning playing career in the NBL. He also offers insights into the Phoenix-United clash on Sunday, his role at South East Melbourne, living with Mitch Creek, seeing Zhou Qi up close, not being signed by Tasmania JackJumpers and an update on Adam Gibson 1 Basketball Coaching (www.adamgibson1.com). We then preview Round 3 in #NBL22 and look ahead to next week where we'll be joined by Alex Loughton. Made possible thanks to the support of Hoops Heaven (www.hoopsheaven.com.au) and TABtouch (www.tabtouch.com.au).

Homicide & Rodney O joined Andy and Josh in the studio to chat all things basketball. The NBL's 'best dunk ever', Steph Curry's three-point record and Zhou Qi are all up for discussion.

On a night of some serious highlights Zhou Qi's alley-oop dunk to seal the win for the Phoenix blew the roof off John Cain Arena See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How he'll be on fewer minutes this season as he builds back his form and confidence following a string of injuries, what the "springy and athletic" Xavier Munford brings to the team, the "freaky" things we'll see from Zhou Qi, how the Phoenix have gone past Melbourne United, and more.

Recorded 30 November 2021 (00:25) Reflections on NBL Season 2021/22 Preview Part 1 Cross-over with NBL Pocket Podcast (01:35) What caught your attention and Whatdya miss? (05:09) Basketball: NBL – Season 2021/22 Preview Part 2 with Cody Ellis: COVID/Schedule concerns; Lead-in to season 2021/22; Who will be this years' LaMelo Ball or Cody Ellis? We discuss Luke Travers, Jack White, Ariel Hukporti, Xavier Cooks); Sydney Kings (Coach Chase Buford, Dejan Vasiljevic injury, Jarell Martin MVP candidate?); South East Melbourne Phoenix (Title favourites? Ryan Broekhoff, Xavier Munford, Zhou Qi); Adelaide (Kai Sotto, Mitch McCarron, Coach CJ Bruton); Cairns (Departures, Nate Jawai, Keanu Pinder, Coach Adam Forde). Predictions for Top 4 (Gaze doctrine). (37:40) MAILBAG (with Cody Ellis) – How would a team of internationals fare against Team USA full strength (44:55) NBA (with Cody Ellis) – The LA Lakers woes (LeBron James/Isaiah Stewart incident); John Wall situation; New York Knicks; Chicago Bulls; Minnesota Timberwolves; Portland Trailblazers. (57:39) What Made Stu Say Bloody Hell? (59:22) Cricket: WBBL – Perth Scorchers defeat Adelaide Strikers (Amanda-Jade Wellington leg-spin genius; Eliminator, Challenger, Final). Ashes: Pat Cummins named captain; Perth Stadium almost certainly to be stripped of 5th Test; Tim Paine steps away (hats off to the Barmy Army); Ben Stokes. (1:09:22) What Are You Amped for?

How he used the Blitz to experiment rather than target wins, why we'll see "the complete package of Ryan Broekhoff" this season after a spate of injuries, how Zhou Qi is "something we've never seen before at this level," what Xavier Munford and Devin Thomas will bring to the heartland, and more.

How we can expect to see high tempo basketball from the Phoenix when the NBL tips off this weekend, the way "absolute character" Zhou Qi can anchor the defence and change shots around the rim, how Devin Thomas will bring more experience to the heartland, and more.

S.E Melbourne Phoenix head coach Simon Mitchell joins Liam Santamaria to chat through how their season ended, goals for NBL22, roster movements including adding Zhou Qi and Xavier Munford plus much more.

On this (possibly not) long-awaited subscribers' only pod, we sift back through five years of NBA Draft episodes. What did we get right, what did we get not so right, and how might we adjust our draft philosophy in the future? And, most importantly, who picked Zhou Qi as a top-five prospect?

There's disagreement in the pod today, as we square off over who should go #1 in the Draft. The conversation gets sullen, juvenile, and decidedly anti-phony, in keeping with the tone of this week's book: J.D. Salinger's The Catcher In The Rye. It's worth tuning in just to hear Jesse compare Holden Caulfield to Donald Trump, as well as Adam's paean to 7-foot-2 Chinese prospect Zhou Qi. (NB: We discuss the book for the first 25 minutes, and then talk Draft stuff for the rest of the hour.)

The Ringer's Danny Chau and Jonathan Tjarks on the international prospects projected to land in the lottery, like Dragan Bender and Timothe Luwawu, in Thursday night's draft, and on some sleepers, like Ante Zizic and Zhou Qi, who may wind up being selected later in the first round.
