We Have A Talk About Tanking with Jannelle Moore and Brit Robotista


Listen Later

It's time to have The Talk. Jannelle Moore (@jannelle12) and Brit Robotista (@britrobotista) join Tara to talk about tanking.

Catching up with Jannelle and Brit

4:00 Houston’s tanking back story.

8:15 Golden State’s recent losing/tanking situation

13:00 How does tanking appear to affect the players and the fans? Golden State when they were bad because Steph Curry was out people were more understanding, but it got more confusing the following year when Steph was better and they didn’t go for as many wins as they could.

16:00 Rockets fans (and most fan bases) are very passionate, have a lot of feelings about choices teams are making. Hard on players like Christian Woods who was brought in before the team started actively tanking. Losing gets to everyone.

20:00 Worry about players like Josh Hart who are good and competitive who have been put into this situation. John Wall situation in Houston is largely due to his big contract but it does make things hard. If the players and the front office are open and honest with each other then things are not likely to get toxic.

25:30 When teams tank, do the coaches adjust to the players and personnel that they have? Or do they coach for the player that they will have?

30:00 How has the draft lottery changed tanking? Creating more extremes.

32:30 What is getting you through, and have you found any silver linings?

33:00 Stay off Twitter esp if there are big losing streaks. No one is having fun. Silver lining is that they are trying to build something sustainable.

37:00 When going through a tank, letting go of caring is important for self care.

39:50 Tara’s getting through by being happy for players who are getting opportunities they might not have gotten.

42:00 Hang in there Josh Hart!

44:00 Parting wisdom: Be patient!
