    This only makes sense to me if they decided to stay home. But if they made the trip after sitting on the plane all those hours, they might as well play. If it were back-to-back I could understand.....but it is not

    On the bright side, Joe Cronin gets to evaluate the @$&#% out of this game.

    One game is everything if you check out the standings...

    I'm sure some young Lillard fans who got to go to the game have had their days ruined. But we have to play again Sunday so it's understandable he needs to sit this one out.

    This is extra annoying because we should have been tanking a long time ago. I proposed tanking to start the season because it was obvious this was where we were going to end up.

    Good luck convincing Lillard of that. Especially in October

    Ya I know. And that is why we will most likely be doing the exact same thing again next year too.

    Yes you can. The Spurs have been. You can't pretend they went into this season with the intent to win.

    They went in to gauge where they're at. Joe said himself. Spurs dont have a superstar.

    Well that is dumb. Even HCP knew where the team stood. They are small and lack talent. That wasn't some mystery that needed unraveled.

    If you tank the whole year Grant is gone and so are even more season ticket holders. Gotta find the balance.

    Losing on purpose is for losers.

    This isn't the thread to start the argument that Grant's main concern is winning.
