If your not tanking your not trying.

[bleedGREENdon]

If our boston celtics cannot acquire Dwight Howard or Josh Smith and a center with him, then we must tank, i say have rondo rehab longer and we have to trade Gerald Wallace guy is going to win us some games. Start Avery Bradley at the point so he can get better at point gaurd, start marshon brooks, Jeff green , Sully and Olynyk.

Well be in every game. Get a good Rebuild coach, dont win those close games.

Because the alternative is bringing him off the bench as a defensive stopper.  He's 6'2, 180 pounds and offensively inept.  Very one-dimensional player whose main asset is his overly aggressive defense.  If he is a starter long-term, it's as a defensive role player slowing down opposing point guards.

Let's keep it that way. I'd rather him be an offensive liability at one position rather than compromise the effectiveness of the entire team's offense.

You don't need an elite PG controlling the offense to be a champion.  If you have a LeBron or Kobe or an elite big, you have the ball go through them.  In 2008, the ball flowed through Paul Pierce and Rondo was just a role player who mainly just needed to play tough defense. 

I like watching the beauty of an offense run by a great passer, but it's not as necessary as elite scoring and elite bigs.

I don't know how you got to that argument from my comment. But, to feed your trolling regardless, I'd like to point out that we don't have a facilitator at the other positions anyway. We don't have a Pierce. Put Bradley next to any possible combination of Celtics players not including Rondo, and there's absolutely no competent playmaking in that lineup.

I think that "if you are tanking, you're not trying" would be more accurate.

[cman88]

the thing is, does anyone really think our roster is BAD enough to really snag a top 5 pick?

say you have a starting lineup of Rondo/Bradley/Green/Sullinger/Humphries

with a bench of Wallace, Lee, Bass, Brooks

while not a good team...that team could probably win 35games

[lightspeed5]

^rondo wont be playing for a good half of the season, that screws up all our offensive schemes with noone truly running the point correctly.

then we DNP humphries and wallace and let our rookies play the most minutes. thats the easy way to tank-ville

It's part of the tank. Maybe he can get his turnover/assist ratio below .5?

[rondoallaturca]

We can tank without making our team completely unwatchable... I mean, our defense is already butchered. Now our offense, too?

[apc]

is this post in response to Danny Ainge saying we are not tanking?
cause i wouldn't take him to seriously. he just doesn't want to say it out loud to the public. but behind close doors that is what they are saying.
