Is Illawarra Done? Al Green Gives a Brutally Honest Take

#jackmcveigh #algreen #botinagy This week on Time-Out: The No Flop Zone, Joey Wright is away and NBL legend Al Green steps into the chair alongside Boti Nagy — and the conversation does not hold back. We ask the big questions: will we ever see a 70-point game again? Are coaches partly responsible for the mess they complain about every week? Al breaks down his all-time favourite Adelaide 36ers import, reacts to Jack McVeigh’s outrageous 47-point performance, and gives a sharp assessment of Nathan Sobey’s season so far. We also unpack roster moves across the league, including Hunter Maldonado being axed, Ian Clarke’s arrival, and whether Javale McGee is part of Illawarra’s problems — or just an easy scapegoat. Add in three overtime thrillers, foul-baiting debates, commentator criticism, and a genuine discussion about Christmas Day games, and you’ve got one of the most honest episodes yet. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Start0 0:27 – Will we ever see a 70-point game again? 01:14 – Al Green’s all-time best 36ers import 02:31 – What Al Green has been up to 03:02 – Jack McVeigh’s 47-point explosion 06:09 – Hunter Maldonado axed, Ian Clarke signed 07:11 – Dylan Windler’s brain fade foul 08:17 – Al Green breaks down Nathan Sobey 09:35 – Round 13 wrap 11:11 – Illawarra is down and out 12:41 – Boti’s best five players of the week 14:11 – Viewer topics: commentators driving fans mad 15:19 – The referee quality dilemma 17:20 – Coaches complaining too much 19:54 – Offensive foul-baiting 20:45 – Should heads roll in Brisbane? 22:02 – Is Javale McGee the problem in Illawarra? 23:42 – Should the NBL play games on Christmas Day? 25:18 – Matches of the Round If you’re looking to improve your basketball skills, check out ShootHQ, Australia’s premier basketball shooting facility owned by Joey Wright.
