I'm just not convinced that making the playoffs v. not making the playoffs is going to drastically alter the future of this team. Some of you seem think that if we get the 8 seed then suddenly Ty is back, the FO thinks the plan is working, and Al/Millsap will be back. Whereas if we miss the playoffs then we will get Trey Burke, the FO will suddenly have a grand epiphany and suddenly realize this group of vets can't win, Ty will be fired, and Al/Millsap will be gone.

I just don't see that. Yes they will lose in the first round to the spurs. Yes, their draft pick will be one or two picks lower (15 or 16 v. 14). Will we miss out on the player we want by just one pick? Maybe, and if that's the case then the playoffs are a waste. Last year I understand why the playoffs sucked for most here - we lost the pick and just got swept. But this year I just don't think making the playoffs is a step backwards or going to set this team back for the long term. You can still root to knock the Lakers out of the playoffs and have a long term hope/vision for the team.

We don't know anything for certain, but I like using history as a predictor of the future and unfortunately, this organization is very rarely proactive. I feel like being able to make the point that the team got worse with better preparation, more continuity, and better talent makes it easier to make tough decisions as oppose to just being as good as the year before.

If I had any reason to have faith that the organization would do what is glaring at them then maybe I wouldn't be a miserable ******* about my own team winning basketball games.
