Hey everyone,

Emmitt Smith and I are back for another Temperature Check of the NBL podcast, post Round 15 and two weeks since our last chat.

This round we chat all things:

- Winners and Losers across the past fortnight with Adelaide rolling and Melbourne United very much still in a funk post the FIBA break

- There are some great candidates for the Look at Me's for this week from Brisbane, Adelaide and Emmitt's boys the JJ's

- We look to see if there are any new entries in our respective All Star 5's

- Lastly, we look into the Crystal ball to predict the top 6, Semi Final and Championship Series for season 2025/26!

Hi everyone,

We're back this time with an Interview with Perth Scorchers Bowling Coach and member of the Coaching Staff Tim McDonald where we chat:

- The hectic nature of the BBL, travel and family time

- Style of play of the Perth Scorchers transitioning from a squad that was bowl heavy with attacking front liners to now a powerful batting line up and how that all came about

- Tim gives us his thoughts on the BBL Draft and is it the way forward for the competition?

- A hectic game last night with the bowlers taking centre stage in a low total chase that ultimately led to their third straight victory

- Lastly, how is the team positioning themselves for the final four games of the competition to be in a position to appear in yet another BBL final?

Hey everyone! Adam Batt from Batt Banter (batt_banter on Instagram) and Zac Olsen from everythingperthwildcats (Instagram) come on once a week to chat all things Perth Wildcats!

Zac is off this week but we once again we're able to get a suitable replacement on in Perth Wildcats super fan Mitchell Robinson

This episode we look back at Round 15 where we chat and discuss:

•  Patches and quarters of falling off the face of the earth but overall they came with two wins across the weekend to make it three from four on their stretch of road games

•  In both games they had five players in double digits, is this a key to success?

•  There is a 'BIG CALL' on a beloved Perth Wildcat this episode!

•  This is it, the big game in the season that will determine their credibility as a contender against the SEM Phoenix on Saturday

• It's Rapid fire Q & A time! A stack of questions to work through this week

This episode we look back at Round 14 where we chat and discuss:

•  After a really positive first quarter where they still had the lead to half time, an abysmal third quarter snuffed out whatever chance they had of snatching a victory

•  Where is it going wrong for them and is it the line ups, style of play or urgency?

•  The Big Call revolves around team line ups whether Elijah should go out for Ben or if Jaron should be starting with all the bigs instead!

•  Brisbane await on part three of their road trip in a very winnable game but certainly a danger game for them on January 1

• It's Rapid fire Q & A time!

Hi everyone!

Normally at Batt Banter we're on all things AFL when it comes to podcasting but every so often we dive into the NBL space.

This time, I'm doing a Temperature Check of all the NBL teams post the halfway point of the season to give our quick thoughts on where they sit for the season, what’s held them back, why are they thriving and what else can they get out of this season?

I'm privileged to be doing this with a man who's grown up in Tasmania, is an avid JackJumper follower but loves talking NBL in his own right having found his way to Perth as an educator in Emmitt Smith.

This episode we'll discuss Perth, Sydney, SEM, Melbourne United and Adelaide.

This episode we look back at Round 12 where we chat and discuss:

•  What happened at Half Time in their game v Sydney? It was a no show as they turned their heels up when Sydney made their move

•  A bounce back win against a hapless Brisbane was a quick fix but papered over cracks in their team line up, make up and team consistency

•  Who are the Perth Wildcats and what will they make of the remainder of this season?

•  It continues with two massive games coming up, one at home v SEM and the other away to Tasmania

• It's Rapid fire Q & A time!
