We got the lot in the six games of Round 5, with a low-scoring affair in Cairns that centred entirely on the defensive end and a high-octane offensive showdown in Perth.The ladder also saw more moves than a game of chess, with Cairns rising from eighth to fourth and Melbourne for the first time in a long time sitting bottom.Questions have been raised about the security of coaching positions, and the fact star players are not all performing at the level we know they can. Its still early in the season and panic shouldnt sweep the locker rooms, but teams still need to start paying close attention to the warning signs and putting into place plans for the dangers that may lie ahead.So who and what stood out during NBL Round 5?Snakes and LaddersLose your first three games of the season and plenty of questions get raised and the best way to silence the doubters is to win. Thats exactly what Cairns Taipans have done in claiming three of their next four games to climb off the bottom of the ladder.How have the Snakes turned it around? Defensive intensity. The Taipans gave up an average 86.33 points per game during their opening three losses, but that has dropped to 71.66 in their wins.Cairns now own the third-best defensive rating in the league, giving up an average of 79 points, behind only Perth Wildcats (77.85) and Sydney Kings (76.12).Superstars CollideCataclysmic events are a rare occurrence but thats what we saw in Perth, where two MVP front-runners squared off and put their case forward for the award.Adelaides Jerome Randle and Perths Casey Prather have shown all season that theyre a notch above the rest, and they shone brightest yet again in Round 5.Randle finished the game with 40 points, shooting an impressive 60.9 percent from the floor, and nine assists just to go along. Prather finished with 28 points, eeight assists and, more importantly, the win.ddddddddddddDown to the WireSydney Kings and Cairns players got involved in a heated scuffle during the second quarter, and the Taipans Mark Worthington had the following to say at the halftime break: We have an all-in mentality. We didnt like what [Jason] Cadee did so we went all in.The game was on the verge of boiling over for the remainder, and it needed a cool hand to settle things; enter Kevin Lisch. The Boomers player nailed a pull-up jumper as the clock wound down to give the Kings the win and secure top spot for another week.Missing in ActionCorey Webster won one of the Player of the Month awards last season, when he was also named to the All NBL Second Team, but he is a shell of that player this season.Every single NBL fan knows Webster is near unstoppable when hes on, but they are scratching their heads this season in bemusement.Webster was on the floor for a total of 53 minutes and 45 seconds in Round 5, netting 14 points on 3/21 shooting at 14.28 percent, while making four assists, five turnovers and eight fouls. His play hasnt hurt the Breakers, but still they would love his production back so that they can solidify themselves as genuine contenders.Dig UpMelbourne United are in disarray, riding a four-game losing streak and seemingly having no answers.They started the round by going down in overtime to New Zealand, and that was a tough pill to swallow as they should have won the game. Star import David Andersen then finally found his game only for the rest of the team suddenly to lose theirs in a defeat by Illawarra that saw them sitting alone afoot the NBL ladder.NBA podcaster Tom Read explained how far they have fallen.
