I guess that's why he's the head coach. Making calls like that for some people seems to work out most of the time. I would pick a guy shooting 30% for the season and he'd swish both.

Is that all? He went to the locker room I thought

Been traveling all day....drove to Ocala, Florida, 14 hours....and just now got a chance to check the score....WOW! I am so happy for these guys! I'll have to read all about it now, and probably won't get a chance to see or hear the game tomorrow either. But I'll certainly be saying a little prayer of thanks before hitting the sack. Fantastic result! Keep it going guys! WooHoo!

Malcolm double double. He just looked pissed off and determined before this game.
