This week on the #HardBall Podcast, Tommy Greer, Liam Santamaria and Brett Thomas recap all the major story-lines from NBL Round 3. They boys discuss the return of Corey Webster to the defending champion New Zealand Breakers, Townsville’s miraculous win in Perth and the Wildcats’ bounce-back win over Illawarra. They also break down the disappointing results from Sydney and Cairns, Melbourne’s undefeated start and Adelaide’s impressive back-to-back wins.
Jerome Randle stepped straight off the plane onto the court and had an immediate impact for the Adelaide 36ers, leading them to back-to-back wins over Cairns and Sydney in Round 3. Randle speaks on the #HardBall Podcast about his debut weekend, his time playing pro ball in Europe and his NBA aspirations. He also discusses the experience of playing for Ukraine in the 2015 FIBA EuroBasket, his backcourt combination with Australian Boomers guard Adam Gibson, playing for coach Joey Wright and how much he likes his new team. Who would win a foot race between NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook and Jerome Randle? Listen to find out!
There is plenty in store throughout Round 4 of #HardBall and the boys preview the massive slate of games ahead. Cairns continue their five-game road trip with stops in New Zealand and Adelaide – can they start making shots from the perimeter? Illawarra also play twice on the road, in Townsville on Wednesday night and in Perth on Saturday – how will former Wildcats Rob Beveridge and Kevin Lisch be received in Perth Arena? With two more games at home, can Melbourne stay undefeated? Can Sydney put the skids on their four-game losing streak? We break it all down.
