I’m not advocating for tanking as of now but I’m gonna say it: DONT ever disrespect the tank.
JUST. DONT.
It got us Luka and Lively. It’s part of your weird american sport system. Facing that fact and playing the system the right way is what separates the successful franchises from the stubborn ones.
By far THE worst about the Kyle Collinsworth and Ben Bentil-seasons was the constant BS about winning culture from fans and local media guys like Followil, Skin and Coop who couldn’t get their heads out of their butts and admit that it is at times the right move.
Whenever I think of Kyle Collinsworth, Pierre Jackson, Ben Bentil I get a warm feeling in my heart. These guys did more for us in one season than Wes Matthews, Zaza, Deron, Bogut, Charlie V and all the other 35+ year old win now veterans did in their time here.
I’m not gonna stand for it this time.
If the time comes I’ll defend the tank with everything I have (in the few moments I can spare from real life responsibilities).
Just be thankful. Tanking is a gift. FUCK the Wes Matthews years where they were too stubborn to swallow down their pride and make the right moves. I watched probably 90+% of Wes’ minutes played here and that’s something I will never get back again. It still enrages me every once in a while during a random moment of the day in an otherwise pretty fulfilled life.
