Its not quite even February and an 0-3 Start has us feeling down!
Perhaps we can share some tips from time to time. Maybe make a "Survival guide" and a sticky for it.
I'll start:
1. Come up with alternative conspiracy themes. We know Perry kind of let us know we tanking a few weeks ago. Said fans are smart and as long as the team is trying we should support them. I'll suggest that KP was given the keys to the franchise and will be given every opportunity to be the star he craves. That's pretty good gig actually. You won't hear him say this, cuz we'll fry him if he don't talk about winning. He will be given the ball and a chance to be a top scorer on the team and develop his craft, and his brand. We'll vote him to the allstar game. The league already promotes his face on various graphics. HE will say things like "we'll see about extending and all that stuff to keep us tuned in. Its ok. Maybe he means it, but in the mean time by adopting this strategy we don't rage 60 some odd games thru the season when shyt don't go our way.
2. Sessions and Jack are not here by ineptitude. They are hear because they are cheap and expendible. Frank will be given time and space to succeed. We'll have a safety net here of blame: "It was a triangle PHil pick"! Or "If Gaines is good with it, its good enough for me!" Either works.
3. We tanking adoption. Riley tanked before for either pick or to clear cap space. It sucked. Phil Tanked to get KP. Unlucky we fell to 4th, but better that than mistake of Ok4 (Duke was champ his year)or Russell. I'll take KP and the upside intrigue.
4. Root for Noah. Sure you all were "Right" about his contract. Being "right" don't do a thing. Send him love and maybe on the wings of that he will rise and be traded!
5. Melo would help us this season. But hurt the tank. Hypocrisy about his defense vs. others is not tangable.
6. Accept Baker is making 4mil a year and no difference maker is he preventing. He has good hair and is white. Get over it.
