Who does not want the Spurs to tank?

[offset formation]

Unfortunately most spurs talk had that sentiment the last couple of years

Looking back at it, they might have just been savants. Not like playing mediocre ball over the last 3 seasons was worth a damn.

2018 was an admirable job by Popped considering Nephew hostage holding.

2019 20 and 21 were mismanagement shows.
Entering the 22-23 season it seemed all good as Pop had his beloved and urgently sought after Most Wins Ever record thus finally the rebuild was going to be embraced. Sniffer and Realist alike could sit at the same table.

Now the fake humility "I don't tank, it's just not in my DNA" is such b.s. since that is exactly how his entire NBA career foundation was laid. Tanking at the end of David Robinson 96 to get a better shot at Timmy Dunker.

Well Sniffers let's hear your updated response.

A realists solid take was:

Tanking is for the realists. Trying to win as many games as possible to score a play-in loss and a late lottery pick and think the Spurs will become le contenders is a fantasy. We were only good all those years because we tanked for Robinson and then tanked for Duncan and got lucky. We aren't getting a superstar in free agency. Imagine what the Spurs development group could do with top 3 pick talent.

We’re splitting hairs. Tankers at best might improve their odds in the slightest most inconsequential way. Playing to win, the optics to prospective players and development of our own players arguably speaks to bigger long term gains.

We’re naturally going to fall into a high pick. Might as well reap the benefits of pushing a winning culture even if it doesn’t materialize.

Losing games on purpose to get your precious 14% is kind of dumb. You wouldn't consider a 14% chance of your dad coming back or your mother loving you to be great odds.

So you want to tear down a culture and this organizations DNA for what? A 20% chance at something that might work out.

No. No rational person does that.

14% chance-at best.

Pink yourselves gots!

Here’s an idea. Don’t be a . Bring something of value to the table instead of being an insufferable waste of space. You don’t like this team. The gtfo and do everyone the courtesy.

Yeah digging up a year old post definitely disproves my theory that you’re a dumb . That’s the thing about people like you. You never fail to live up to expectations.

What’s a “sniffer”?

[spurraider21]

What’s a “sniffer”?

people who will blindly support pop/patfo, make excuses for them, etc

idea being they love/respect pop so much that they sniff his farts and take pleasure in doing so

Tanking for Wemby made sense. Tanking for the next Batum, Capella, or Hinrich though? ing

Spurs need to find the second superstar player somehow.

The Spurs just need everybody to show up ready to play.
