Imagine if you wanted to go to the movies, and your buddy wanted to go to the mall. Your buddy’s driving and states that he doesn’t GAF about your desire to go to the movies. He’s driving to the mall. Unfortunately for him, he has such a poor sense of direction that for the first 10 minutes of your drive and completely by accident, he ends up driving in the direction of the theater and away from the mall.

I guess you feel kinda happy that maybe because you’re closer to the theater than the mall, your buddy will change his mind, but you’re still annoyed I imagine that your buddy doesn’t realize how awesome it’d be to go see the new Star Wars, right?

That’s how I’m feeling right now about this front office. This game proves they’re still committed to trying to win games even at the expense of player development so it’s nice that the team still lost since maybe it improves the chance the front office sees the light, but at the moment, it’s still apparently trying to take us to the mall, and I don’t count on the happy accidents that have over the last couple weeks kept us heading towards the theater continuing.

to make matters even worse – your buddy has a penchant for old, slow ugly chicks, and, keeps wanting to always bring them along cuz he feels like they’ll put out a little more…

The tank is not the absolut end goal. If we went 12-12 playing a Frank-THJ-Dotson-Hicks-Kornet-Burke-Mudiay-Lee-KOQ-Kanter rotation I wouldn’t be this much upset.

I’d be TREMENDOUSLY upset. The tank is the absolut main goal. Or any other brand of vodka.

Exactly. That’s what I was trying to say. As it happens I doubt they are a trade off. But playing the young guys should be the primary focus.

Also FWIW, the tank isn’t all about gaining seeding it’s also about not losing it. Lakers and Hornets both could still be caught. Remember we looked good for top 5 or 6 last year until some hollow late wins caused us to catch the Wolves and pull away from the Sixers and Orlando. We need to ensure 9th is our seeding floor and keeping 8th or even 7th in view is a bonus.

@99 – not sure that’s true but it certainly isn’t the point. Horny wasn’t holding them out so that we lost, he was holding them out to preserve a hollow win. The fact that it didn’t work gives him no credit whatsoever.

No team goes out on the floor – coach included – and actively tries to throw games. Maximising our lotto pick is definitely a goal now but the main goal by far is developing the young guys. They won’t win many but if they win a few i’d take that as a sign of growth. Not playing them is unforgiveable in my book. I’ve tried to keep an open mind about him but he should be fired after that set of rotations.

Hornacek should be fired yesterday. He’s wasting a season of development for our youngsters. Fire him now

So funny people don’t realize that Horny knew if he played Dotson and Frank he’d win!!!
