Coach Talk

ballthemblack's Swell Team
You know what, ballthemblack's Swell Team, we do appreciate the confidence. Rolling out not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Rabbit King and see what happens!
dcb's Breathtaking Team
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat 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 basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Greg Joseph might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
