January is winding down, which means it’s time for one of The Triangle’s favorite features — Quotes of the Month. As you might recall, the boss requested we revive this one, which we were happy to do, because this month Flip Saunders said: “Booing is not going to help somebody play better,” so it’s great to have an opportunity to point that out.

Yes, OK, perhaps we’re a little heavy on Wizards quotes this month. In our defense, they were terrible.

Thanks to our Grantland interns who put this post (and the last one!) together. We’ll remind you about this next month, so Friends of Grantland can submit their own entries … and make our lives easier.

“Three tickets, center court upper level (section 400), 4th row. Face value is $30 each. Will sell for $5 each, however if you were to forget to send payment via PayPal, I would not be heartbroken. I will email the tickets once I hear there is someone willing to attend the game. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch Javale goaltend, Dray shoot 18 footers and The Nick Young baseline ballet, all against a team from Canada. Folks, it doesn’t get much better than this.”
