Comments from the Coach Jinx:

REPORTER: "Your thoughts on the game Coach."

COACH: "When you're fighting a war... you must choose your battles wisely. This was a game where I felt going all out would be a problem especially with my guys being weak after the Great 8 trip. Anyways I rested my starters except Donny who already had three games off from injury earlier in the year."

REPORTER: "So you gave away the game."

COACH: "I wouldn't say gave it away... I just gave my bench an opportunity to log some serious minutes against good competition. We're still in second place so we haven't lost anything, but we gained much more. We'll look to run the table from this point on and win our remaining games. That's right Chi-town... we're coming, cause no one can play "Above the Rim".

We caught up with WildBoys coach, ETG, to comment on Coach Jinx's interview.

ETG: Well, if my team was... complete, when we played ATR, this would be a different story. Look, I respect ATR and Orange and at the end of the season, we'll see who comes out on top. I only coach the guys, try going to tell one of my Boys that ATR is coming for them... see how they respond. One game at a time guys.



LET'S GET WILD...
Or was it.... TIME TO GET WILD
I forget.

Comments from the Coach Jinx:

"Another great win... I'm not asking much from the team just trying to get everyone rested from the stretch run. We'll try and continue our training and prepare ourselves for the stretch run. When playoff time comes we want to play... Above the Rim."

Welcome to Chicago Sports where we give you the most up to date information about the Chicago WildBoys. For the first time ever..... starting PG Shunta... whatever his last name is, decided to open his mouth and talk. We had our reporter John speak with him.

John: First time you will actually say something, let's start with the first question, the season.. what do you think about it?

Shunta: Well, it's great man. We got some new guys during the course of the season and we beat a high quality team in Neo, just hoping to get another one this Saturday. Going from 7-15 to having 13 wins and maybe some more when the season is over is really special.

John: Speaking of new guys, Dragan, he got an injury the second game he played with you guys and now that he is back, I don't think he has gotten in to full form. What are your thoughts on that?

Shunta: Dragan is a fighter and when we practice... he is always trying to be better in the next game. Some may say that we wasted money on him but I don't think they understand the real value of having Dragan on the team. His defense is amazing and he is the reason I am able to get my shots in because he is able to get the defense to focus on him and then boom, I am there for an easy layup.

John: Ok, final question. You, Hero, and Tony. You guys aren't getting younger so, when do you think it will be time to hang it up?


Shunta: I just want the Wildboys to win. Once we win it all, maybe... just maybe I will give it up. Hopefully it won't be that long though cause Hero, Tony, and myself aren't getting any younger, like you said. I think I can persuade the two to stay a bit longer with me. We'll see.


John: Any last words?


Shunta: I hate the color Orange... heh.


Well, there you go folks, the well mannered team leader. See ya next time on Chicago Sports.

Comments from the Coach Jinx:

REPORTER: "Your thoughts on the game Coach."

COACH: "Our guys weathered the storm on a foreign court and come out with the win. There are many guys to thank but a complete team effort was what it took. I didn't think that it would be easy, and it wasn't early. On to the next one. Just remember no one can play Above the Rim."

"Good win Chi-town."

Comments from the Coach Jinx:

REPORTER: "Your thoughts on the game Coach."

COACH: "This is a truly special season for our Front Office, Players, and fans. I believe that we have a special group of guys here that can perform magic. We definitely have a Big game coming up against The Wildboys on their home court. We're going to need a good week of practice to prepare for this game. Remember this is chess, not checkers and one can play Above the Rim."
