Would anyone mind translating this into English for me?

I read that three times, and I still can't figure it out. Must be a New Zealand thing? Is "Hiding to nothing" and "3 form sides" similar to "seeing a man about a wallaby"?
Otherwise, I'm stumped. Where's Fran when you need him?

Stamford, if I beat you in the finals will you agree to resign and let Fran take over your team?

I've already resigned.

Ask me again in a week though, maybe I'll have a different answer than the last four times I've said it.

Google has no answers.

Oh I didn't realize it was official. The disappointment of realizing Collison is better than C3PO is too much to take huh?

If Fran does join the league can we PLEASE institute a moves limit. That guy streams more than the Mississippi River.

Hmmm....Carl, worried about losing to Blake already? I see you have joined the ranks of the streamers.

What's even funnier? Coady has been castigated for less! :lol:

I've castigated for less too :eyebrows:

What?

I'm actually not worried about Blake. He had 8 players going yesterday against my 4 so the current score wasn't unexpected. With his injuries, we should be good. Although I did lobby for fewer moves, I'm not going to be so high-minded as to play by my own idea of what the rules should be if it decreases my chances of winning it all for the first time. The Invincibles are hungry.

What???

that's castigate not castrate.

Castigate: to criticize or reprimand severely.

Good Grad School word.

The fraan comment was a jokee, soo everyone is knowing this!

4 Injuries and my team is shooting uncharacteristically BAD. Not to mention, somehow, Marcus Thornton was on my bench in favor of mr. injured Louis Williams. Things do not look good for Mr. Consolation.

Craig, Jordan: CAN either of you PLEASE drop Louis Williams to the IL for me? PLEASE!!!????

I'd complain about having Donte Greene on my bench and missing out on his 5 three pointers, but it is the constellation round so who cares.

But hey, Donte, this bodes well for next year. We look forward to a lot more games like that. :clap:
