Coach Talk

Bloodlust
Hey, it's good to be confident, Bloodlust. Starting a player with zero points (O.J. Howard), while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're finished.
Fat Samurai
Don't beat yourself up too badly, Fat Samurai! You can take solace in the fact that your kindness this week did not go unnoticed. It takes real generosity to help someone like Bloodlust succeed... and when the time comes, maybe they can return the favor and do you a solid.
