Coach Talk

Gary Gus's Team
Listen, Gary Gus's Team, we applaud you on the confidence. It takes real guts to deploy a starter with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still earning the win. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Danny's Dandy Team
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Wil Lutz may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire following this performance... especially since Danny's Dandy Team needed every point possible in this narrow matchup.
