Coach Talk

Ace's Amazing Team
Listen, Ace's Amazing Team, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (O.J. Howard), while still earning a win... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Da Purps
Keep your head up, Da Purps! Look, I've been at it long enough to know that every once in a while, free points can just randomly show up out of nowhere. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay; hoping for an extra 37 points may be a little much.
