After the season and before the playoffs begin if you ask him if he can see any difference between a 4-12 team and a 12-4 team he will say "No difference."
There is nothing wrong with taking a comment out of its full context when the context DOES NOT CHANGE THE MEANING.
There is no difference between a 4-12 team and a 12-4 team dumped in the first round of the playoffs, neither will be Champion, and if that is truly the goal then both are failures!
That is the guy's quote. The goal is to win a championship, nothing else in this specific context.
Did the 4-12 team win a championship? No.
Did the 12-4 team win a championship? No.
Okay, so given the context, there is "no difference" between the teams.
However, he went on to state that there are obviously differences between a 4-12 team and 12-4 team if you're looking at things past "did they win a championship?".
As I have said earlier in other threads, comprehension skills have been out the window on this board lately. It's such a mess. I apologize if you can't simply follow along here. This one isn't very difficult to process.
