Coach Talk

Shalabajzeri
We're wondering if the GM of Shalabajzeri was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 1 point, Brandon McManus (1-of-2 on the day) decided that going 2-for-2 on field goals would've been just a bit too boring. Remember kids, every point matters!
Fools and Horses
You can take solace in the fact that your generosity this week didn't go unnoticed, Fools and Horses. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Shalabajzeri succeed. Who knows, maybe you'll see them again after they've clinched a playoff spot, and they forget to update their lineup that week to return the favor!
