I wouldn't call it butthurt. I'm not taking their loss personally. Just disappointed. As an isolated event, no, its not a big deal to lose a game to Sac. But its part of an overall pattern in my view. We were lucky to wind up with Junior at #9. They did a terrible job tanking last season. Why believe this season will be any different? As everyone here often says, maybe we just suck. Thats fine. But if you're gonna suck, really suck.

The best way to get DSJ to buy in is to get him a star sidekick. You can cultivate his growth and a winning culture whether you win 25 games. Or 29 games. You're just more likely to get another star to pair with Junior with less wins and better pick. No one will remember the meaningless wins even a month from now. Players included.
