Coach Talk

Bridge Over Troubled Water

BerniesBandits
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat acceptable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Tyler Bass might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
