Coach Talk

MangoKid
You know what, MangoKid, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes real moxie to play a starter with zero points (Olivier Vernon), while still earning a win. All we ask is to please keep 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?
drizz
You can take solace in the fact that your generosity this week did not go unnoticed, drizz. It takes a true winner to help someone like MangoKid succeed. Who knows, maybe they'll return the favor by selecting a couple of defenses early in next year's draft... something along those lines!
