Coach Talk

Amir's Awesome Team
You know what, Amir's Awesome Team, we do appreciate the confidence. Playing not one, not two, but FOUR starters with zero points while still earning the win... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're done.
Hot Fire
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat acceptable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Joey Slye might have just kicked himself to the waiver wire following this effort.
