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.

I’m not surprised OP was this slow on the uptake.
Lol someone post those poll results at the start of the year
Legit 60% of this sub said play-offs or playin
Freaking lol
I’m not sure anymore that we are tanking, we are mainly bad. Every game it’s the same and there is no hint at sight that this is going to change in the short term.
Spoiler: we’ll probably be pretty bad next year too.
Yeah, I expect it to really improve by the end of next season, or by the third one.
The newly drafted top picks will probably need almost a full season to adapt.
Season 3 and 4 should become serious stuff if they manage their asset properly.
We are tanking. But just like last year, that doesn’t mean Pop isn’t trying to coach or that the guys aren’t trying to win. It means we don’t have the talent needed to consistently win and the front office isn’t looking to make those changes. We know the best way to win is to move Sochan back to the 4 or 5 and have a real point guard. Until they do it, they aren’t trying to win games.
I actually understand your point of view here. Coach Pop was pretty adamant about trying to win this year rather than development. Now, perhaps we are taking his comments out of context, but it definitely seems like we are more in a developmental phase here.
Maybe he’s just pacing a team of children and not trying to murder their confidence midway thru a losing streak? He tore them open last game.
Yeah I was baffled when he said that but you’re 100% right. He’s just changing his motivation tactic. Let’s see if it works
So I checked Spurs PR and to my surprise, it’s REALLY official. I can’t believe it, wow. They actually said the T word! Here it is:
Let’s go Italian food!
