Two Losses, One Buzzer-Beater Heartstopper | Hawks vs Adelaide & Melbourne

A massive episode of Screech & Roll as we break down two very different losses for the Illawarra Hawks.

First, we look at the Adelaide collapse — a strong first half undone by a brutal third-quarter meltdown, Bryce Cotton’s emotional 31-point explosion, and a 50–35 rebounding beatdown. Then we move to the Melbourne heartbreaker: JaVale McGee’s 28-point masterpiece, QJ Peterson’s flamethrower shooting, Goulding’s theatrics, missed free throws, the wild buzzer-beater that almost counted, and why the Hawks were in it until the final second.

We also give out the Player of the Match and the Chris Goulding Flop Award… again.

Then it’s all eyes on the South East Melbourne Phoenix. We break down:

• How to stop Nathan Sobey and his 21 PPG threat
• The rebounding battle with Hunter & John Brown
• Phoenix’s surprising ball movement
• Turnovers that keep killing the Hawks
• Why this game should be “Season Starts Now” for Illawarra

If you’re a Hawks tragic or an NBL diehard, this episode has everything: analysis, chaos, flops, and a whole lot of passion from the Gong.
