The Pikey & Loughz Show - Talkin’ Taipans S2 E6

We are back on The Pikey & Loughz Show, we're Talkin' Taipans and there's plenty to discuss with the Cairns Taipans two games into the NBL Cup with two more games in 3 days to look forward while we catch up with a former star of the Snakes as well.

There's plenty of ground to cover for Chris Pike and Alex Loughton surrounding the Cairns Taipans on this week's show and we begin our discussions by focusing on the start to the NBL Cup which resulted in two strong performances resulting in an inspired win over the Illawarra Hawks and narrow loss to Melbourne United.

We also discuss the injury to Majok Deng and what it means for the Taipans before we turn our attention to the special guest for this week.

It's none another than former star point guard and someone now making waves on the coaching scene, none other than Kerry Williams. We have a fascinating discussion talking about his time with the Boomers last week, his coaching ambitions, reflecting on his playing career, his thoughts on the Taipans currently, the growth in Indigenous Basketball led by Patty Mills, and of course we get his thoughts on Alex Loughton.

Then back on the show and we pay tribute to a former long-time rival of Loughz, Mika Vukona after he retired from international basketball after playing for the Tall Blacks in Cairns last week.

It's then time to preview the Taipans' upcoming NBL Cup games against the Perth Wildcats and Brisbane Bullets.

It's all made possible thanks to Cairns Total Physio (www.cairnstotalphysio.com.au) and Stattons Plumbing Company (www.stattonsplumbingcompany.com.au).
