Talking points

Questions answered
Many experts believe the Brisbane Bullets are the biggest question of the off-season, in a positive sense.

Since Will Weaver’s appointment, he has constructed a team very patiently and specifically in a manner in which he believes it can be successful this season.

With a high level European point guard in Arnas Velicka controlling the game, what does this season’s Bullets have in store?

Can we get an encore?
The New Zealand Breakers kicked off NBL27 in sublime fashion, dismantling the Illawarra Hawks in front of their home fans at Spark Arena.

Between Sam Mennenga, Parker Jackson-Cartwright and DJ Vasiljevic, New Zealand put points on the board for fun and now travel to Brisbane hoping to replicate that potent offensive firepower.
