What’s the point of this season?

[The Midnight]

Serious question.

Are we trying to make the playoffs?

Or another ‘soft tank’ year?

What?

I mean if we’re:

- persisting with fringe NBA guards like THT, Sexton, Dunn, ..

- None of whose can actually play the point effectively.. turnovers galore…

- and ended up fielding a 4 guard line up who can’t get rebound to save their lives…

I feel like we’re wasting away Lauri’s best years.

it’s just 1 game man

Damned if I know, but I seriously think changes are coming in some form of a trade. Hardy has got to be discouraged with what he has to work with.

We don't have our draft pick. We're not tanking. We're seeing what we have and waiting for a superstar to become available that's worth going all-in on.

Great question, One Love.

I'd postulate that the point of this season is to distract us from the real questions, such as, what's the point of us? Why are we here? Where are we going? When's the next game?

I swear I get that sense watching the expression on his face during the game.

Discouraged.

It’s top ten protected. If tonight’s any indication we will for sure have that pick.

Ouch. I forgot about the no draft pick thing.

Makes it worse thinking we’re playing to win this year with this roster.

Bummer.

Ohhh.. true.

So it could be another soft tank year?

Ainge looks to be in asset accumulation mode which is fine for a team that just traded their two stars last summer. I really like the potential of some of the young kids especially Kessler and Keyonte.

With that said they have Lauri entering the prime of his career and don't currently appear to be anywhere close to being a top 6-8 team in the WC.

They keep their pick if they finish in the bottom 10 of the league.

It's looking like a good bet they will again be very active as we get near the trade deadline.

Beyond all that I really have no idea what's the point except a new season just started and as a member in good standing of the NBA they are technically required to run out a team.

This season should still be focused on rebuilding and getting all of our young guys consistent minutes. Hopefully this season gets out of control real quick so that we move Clarkson and Olynyk to clear out consistent minutes for more guys.

I’m sitting here watching the Spurs already looking good to go with Wemby and I’m wondering if weren’t going to be good for 2-3 years, why didn’t we tank properly last year for a chance at Wemby?

We’re we too scared to upset Adam Silver?
