I understand what the thinking is , that preseason is for evaluating players but if I'm on that team I sure as hell want to win. Can't tell me the coaches don't want to win. Any player or coach on the team that doesn't want to win every game should be on some other team.
It doesn’t matter what you say. Reality doesn’t need your approval. Preseason games are too strongly influenced by players who likely won’t even be on the roster in a matter of weeks. If you are interested in winning regular season games, winning preseason games isn’t going to help achieve that. The team that plays in the preseason is a different team doing different things than the regular season team.
