Coach Talk

drizz
You know what, drizz, we do admire the confidence. It takes real gumption to start, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Ronnie Harrison Jr. and Ifeadi Odenigbo), while still earning the win. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're finished.
