That's funny. I can see why Denny likes such humble people.

the game was fun, all of your responses have been fun. fun all around!

max and herrmann might not put up the stats but they get our other players excited and that adds a lot that stats can't measure. rip and dice are playing hard and leading by example.

this is the first time in awhile that we'll be playing meaningful games the rest of the year rather than locking up our seeding weeks early and twiddling our thumbs waiting for the playoffs...and i like that. it gets us in the mindset to play hard every game and fight for everything. i haven't seen them take any game for granted in awhile, and yeah we just beat 4 division winners. shweet.

i'm not worried about dice being tired - this was their 3rd game in 4 nights. in the playoffs he can battle every few days and recover.

So, Max and Herrmann are like the fluffers that allow Rip and Dyess to play hard?

TaS, you're hilarious.

Dyess did mention Fabio's hair in that interview last night, so maybe there is something to it.

Well done TaS!

The Fluffers don't sound as intimidating as the Goon Squad. Let's hope it doesn't catch on.

Maybe this wasn't the game for AJ due to his size but still don't like all his DNP's.

Hater. You sir are going on ignore once I figure out where it is and how to use it. Max could have easily had 2 rebounds if he got got the minutes Dyess has had gifted to him.

That is exactly what MC did in the last Boston game Herm guarding Pierce. Stupid Curry.

But, we won that game. Probably because Pierce was so baffled that MC actually put Hermann on him he couldn't concentrate on his scoring.
