Being a fan of a professional sports team is a self indulgence both of us are engaged in, dude. I disagree, strongly, that tanking is or was the goal - furthermore, you've yet to prove I made any sort of deduction at all. The players' - and coaching staff's - literal jobs are to win basketball games. You're the one with the burden of proof, not me.
You want to bring up a trade at the trade deadline as proof we're suddenly tanking, that's cir stantial at best. Or benching players to teach them a lesson? That could go down on a contender just the same as it does any other team. There's plenty of player interviews - from recently, including from Wemby - indicating that winning IS the goal right now, not tanking. Just take a look at our win tonight. This is NOT a team that's tanking on purpose. This is a bad team, whose coaching has been subpar. There's plenty of non-cir stantial evidence for this. And again, Pop BEFORE the season said it's about winning. Just because we're losing now doesn't give you carte blanche to act like that disposition has changed.
Also, I'm missing where you answered whether a coach is expected to win ball-games after being given a #1 pick. I haven't brought up the fact it's a generational talent with 55+ games to prove as much.
