Philly Phresh come back to win against Hakuna Matata in 105.5-85.5 rout

Philly Phresh stepped up and exceeded expectations, rolling to a 105.5-85.5 win over Hakuna Matata, who fell short of projections.

Coach Talk

Philly Phresh
Putting together a lineup that won by a whopping 20 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. We should take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Hakuna Matata, and continue on our way towards the 'We are the Borg' league championship.
Hakuna Matata
Unless Hakuna Matata wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" cannot be a viable excuse this time around. As a group, our two wide receivers combined to see a grand total of 12 targets in Week 2. With just seven total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
