I remember at the beginning of the season, Pop said with a straight face that winning would be a priority to learning this season.
After this abysmal game against the Clippers, Pop in the post-game conference he was happy with the team’s effort and saw a lot of good things.
There is no way winning is a priority in a team that has lost 11 games this far into the season without changing the way we use our players in the lineup.
I don’t know why it took me this long to realize but we don’t give a fuck about winning, only development, and of course, getting a top pick. I know we’re not competing for shit but we legit might lose 10 more games before we win again.
we were 14th after our 20th game, so kind of an enormous difference there. we were 5th place until our 8th game at which point we started to plummet in the rankings, so not really the same situation at all. it is a lot more common for young teams to start hot and regress than it is to start poorly and suddenly get noticeably better. idk what fluffy means in this context, but it shouldn’t be controversial to suggest that this team probably won’t get noticeably better this season.
