Winning > tanking

Losing > winning at this point in a lost season

Losing isn’t tanking, why is that such a hard concept for people to understand?

Tanking is losing on purpose, which no team will ever try to do.  But losing is better for the franchise.

As a player/coach you want to win, as a fan, you should want what is best for the team, which is losing.

Your joy of this win will be gone within a few days, it’s not going to make next season (or future seasons) any better when we’re drafting later because of this pointless win.

I usually agree with you that losing is better at this point in the season but because the same coach and QB are coming back next year I’d rather them ride some momentum into next season and learn to win some close games.

It’s because they’re both coming back that I’d rather lose.

Momentum from winning one game this late in a lost season doesn’t carry over.  You need to close out with like 4-5 wins out of 5-6 games for that type of thing to carry over.

All this win did was hurt our draft position, nothing else

Learning how to win > slightly better draft position. 
 

Winning builds culture. At least if you have the right leadership in place. Not sure we do, but we aren’t going to improve long term and start to consistently win if we don’t start winning some. That winning culture doesn’t just turn on like a light switch. It has to be built over time and winning these sorts of games helps do that. 
 

And given teams make bad draft selections all the time, the difference between pick 5 and 7 isn’t great. You still have to make the right pick wherever you’re drafting. And then you have to have the winning culture and infrastructure to develop that pick into a successful one.

      The lack of discipline has seriously been our downfall the last month. Seems like we just went off course this last month and Lee won't address it. You can't just live and die by the 3 when you can attack the paint and at worst draw a foul

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents
