Fans are reactionary

[Post Game Thread] The Toronto Raptors (5-5) defeat the Washington Wizards (2-8) 111-107 behind 10 straight missed field goal attempts in the final 7 minutes and a 23 point blown lead by the Wizards in c/nba@nba.space

It's not a tank. It's called being bad. WUJ is just an awful coach and they don't have any stars, hence the blown lead. I can guarantee the players and coaches want to win, they're just bad at it.

[Kubatko] Holmgren is the first player in NBA history to average at least 15 PPG on 50/40/90 shooting splits through the first eight games of his career. in c/nba@nba.space

Chet is the first play to win MVP after 8 games. I get it, he's exciting but 8 games is a small sample size. You don't get awards for playing 8 games. If he's shooting 50/40/90 after an entire season, then it's an entirely different conversation.

Bad take by Barkley. It doesn't matter if they're making 50 or 60 million, it doesn't make them immune to injuries. Forcing the players to play fails to address the core issue (too many games/minutes).
