Mark Cuban says they should "embrace tanking".
Money really does make people out of touch with reality.
Quote:
"Few can remember the score from the last game they saw or went to. They can't remember the dunks or shots. What they remember is who they were with. Their family, friends, a date. That's what makes the experience special," Cuban said.
"The worst s--- that the nba dishes out, is that if you don't lie to your fans about what you are doing , even though it's obvious to them , you get fined. And the threaten you with losing picks," he wrote.
"We didn't tank often. Only a few times over 23 years, but when we did, our fans appreciated it. And it got us to where we could improve, trade up to get Luka and improve our team," he wrote.
"Fans know their team can't win every game. They know only one team can win a ring. What fan that care about their team's record want is hope. Hope they will get better and have a chance to compete for the playoffs and then maybe a ring."

So it doesnt matter how your team played when you doled out 300 bucks to go to that game...nope....what mattered is who you sat beside.
JFC what an absurd take.
