The Pikey & Loughz Show - Talkin’ Taipans Episode 11

Latest episode of The Pikey & Loughz Show is another packed one as Talkin' Taipans talks all things Cairns Taipans, Kobe Bryant, the #NBL20 season as a whole, Indigenous Round and there is also a very special guest who is a former Taipans star and NBL championship winner.

Episode 11 of The Pikey & Loughz Show begins with NBL Writer Chris Pike and Taipans Legend Alex Loughton discussing the devastating loss of one of basketball's all-time greats Kobe Bryant along with his 13-year-old daughter and the other seven victims of their helicopter accident.

It's tough to move on, but the show had to go on and talk moved to the Taipans 103-102 win over the South East Melbourne Phoenix in Melbourne which takes them ever so closer to locking in a playoff berth. The show takes an in-depth look at all things Taipans from there along with a look at how the rest of the NBL playoff race is shaping up.

It's then time for the special guest for this week, Matt Burston. During his long and distinguished NBL career, he was one of the best and most efficient centres in the league including the stint that ended his career in Cairns. He also reflects on his championship at the South Dragons, the similarities to this Taipans season and how life after basketball is treating them.

There's then talk about the NBL Indigenous Round, the Taipans final home game of the regular season against the Illawarra Hawks this Friday night and it's all brought to you by Cairns Total Physio (www.cairnstotalphysio.com.au).
