Coach Talk

Fluffy Turtles
You know what, Fluffy Turtles, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Myles Gaskin), while still earning a W... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're done.
Brandon C
When the dust settles, only one team's actually gonna win this thing, Brandon C... you may as well bow out gracefully now instead of getting bounced late in the postseason, eh?
