The Pikey & Loughz Show - Talkin’ Taipans Episode 12

With the Cairns Taipans all but guaranteed of taking part in the NBL Finals now in #NBL20, things are heating up on The Pikey & Loughz Show and there's plenty once more to cover on Talkin' Taipans this week.

First up is a discussion between co-hosts Chris Pike and Alex Loughton about the final home game of the regular season for the Taipans at Cairns Convention Centre, a 24-point win over the Illawarra Hawks which turned into a night of celebration.

Discussion then turns to what it means for the Taipans to have them so close to being secure in the top four, needing to now win just one of the remaining three matches this season. 

There's then an in-depth chat about the MVP race with Loughz dissecting the battle between Scott Machado, Bryce Cotton and Lamar Patterson.

There's then a look at the Taipans game this Saturday in Adelaide against a 36ers team who might be about to part ways with coach Joey Wright. Loughton reflects on Wright's coaching career that has so far spanned 498 NBL games while also looking at how the Snakes have to block out whatever is going on with the Sixers and focus on the job at hand.

There's also plenty of discussion about the rest of the race for the playoffs highlighted by Friday night's do-or-die clash between the Brisbane Bullets and New Zealand Breakers.
