    Not enough time to run the weave - what else were we suppose to do?

    Cause Stotts is just fucking around, trying to see how much stupid shit he can do without getting fired.

    8 seconds is plenty of time. Stevens was able to get his team a wide open 3 to tie the game.

    I guess you might be able to weave two of the three strands in 8 seconds?

    The real question is if we are making our overpaid marginal players look better. If so, great! Perhaps we can sucker someone else into taking them.

    No, no - just pointing out that Tater Totts only has the weave and an iso in his playbook. Clearly he's no Stevens.
