    Why is Danny lying through his teeth? It's been very obvious that the Celtics are now in rebuild mode.

    tanking is different from rebuilding bud. Misleading title

    I think when people think "tanking" they imagine losing on purpose. Coaching your team to lose games, etc.

    As a player he denied being a punk-azz cheapshot artist.

    Dude knows how to fib, you know?

    And we have a winner. I'm still a little bit dissappointed Elie didn't go at him and start a fight. Maxwell had to do the job in game 6 & in game 7 Cassell started it and Maxwell finished it with the elbow to the head! :grin:

    Don't see how he's lying.

    Rebuilding doesn't mean tanking. And what GM/Coach/Owner would admit to tanking if they did.

    No GM will ever admit to deliberately shredding the roster in order to ensure the highest possible chance of winning the lottery.

    Remember Pierce's infected elbow before the Oden-KD draft? LOL.

    I think Luhnow has said something like that for the Astros.

    They are just trying to create the most improbable championship run of all time.

    It's surprising that you credulous rapscallions wouldn't condone fronting. Representing is what it's all about, dawg! Put your hand in the grab bag and pull out a whole fist full of front. Gobble it up and represent!
