The Kings 0-2 weekend has the pre season favourites in a state of dismay sitting at 5-4, one import on the sideline with injury and another with problems with the coach.

Meanwhile Chris Goulding's hopes of become mayor of Wollongong take a hit as United take title favouritism from the Hawks, Adelaide continue doing all the right things and the Snakes are desperate after 5 straight loses.

ESPN analyst and Brad & Boti star Brad Rosen joins the show to look at the week that was.

Bryce Cotton is injured, Bryce Cotton might be leaving, they are taking it swimmingly as you'd expect in Perth. Matt & Julian look at the likelihood of #11 leaving the Wildcats at seasons end, and when we'll see him back on the floor at all.

Plus the Phoenix give every pundit a serving of egg on face after United's quarter of madness in the Throwdown, the Kings win ugly while the Hawks keep winning and Adelaide keep having fun.

There are rumors flying that one of the Wildcats greatest ever players Bryce Cotton may be departing Perth at the end of the season. Matt & Julian discuss what this could mean for the Wildcats and where he could be heading.

After slumping to their fifth straight loss to start the season the Phoenix have fired head coach Mike Kelly. Matt and Julian are joined by Mookie Schiralli to give their take on the decision and what's ahead for the club going forward.

Plus we give the Illawarra Hawks their flowers after another impressive win, Melbourne United spook the rest of the league, the Kings show their best and worst while the Sixers have some promise. Oh and the Bullets are still the Bullets.
