Coach Talk

Shalabajzeri
You know what, Shalabajzeri, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes gumption to deploy a starter with zero points (Cam Akers), while still earning a win! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
V for ...
Keep your head held high, V for ...! Listen, I've been in this industry long enough to know that occasionally free points can just miraculously show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, alright; hoping for an additional 15 points might be a little much.
