Coach Talk

LBJ GOAT
Way to shrug off that four-game losing streak, LBJ GOAT! Every fantasy team will surely be faced with adversity at some point or another... keep showing resilience like this and good things will continue to happen.
Mr. Phamtastic
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's acceptable to go 0-for-2: 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 Michael Badgley might have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire following this effort.
