What a finish to the NBL season and the Perth Wildcats streak is over, the Tasmania JackJumpers join Melbourne United, Illawarra Hawks and Sydney Kings in the #NBL22 finals and we discuss all of that, preview the finals and the award winners on this week's Hoops Heaven's Basketball Hustle.
Cody Ellis and Chris Pike team up again on this week's show and where else to start than the Perth Wildcats' NBL playoff streak ending and the Tasmania JackJumpers making it to #NBL22 finals as a result. We also discuss the Illawarra Hawks-Sydney Kings fallout and the Kings calling out referee Chris Reed.
We also take a look at the Cairns Taipans finishing their season on a high thanks to 42 points from Tahjere McCall and the disappointing end for the Brisbane Bullets with coach James Duncan admitting he had some players not willing to play their final game of the season.
We then announce our winner of #TheGalen Best Team Man Award for Round 21 before breaking down all the potential NBL award winners with Cody selecting his MVP, Best Sixth Man, Best Defensive Player, Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year and Most Improved Player.
It's then time to preview the upcoming pair of semi-final match ups with the Illawarra Hawks playing the Sydney Kings, and Melbourne United taking on the Tasmania JackJumpers.
