Coach Talk

PurpleCobras
Hey, we admire the confidence, PurpleCobras. It takes gumption to start a player with zero points (Tyler Boyd), while still earning the win! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Turn Down for Watt
Try to take solace in the fact that your generosity didn't go unnoticed, Turn Down for Watt. It takes a true winner to help someone like PurpleCobras succeed this week.
