Bogans and Kris: We're not tanking

[sed522002]

Keith Bogans, soon-to-be locker room leader, on fans that want C's to tank: "Well, they are going to be mad... We’re going to come out and we’re going to play Celtic basketball. We’re going to give 110 percent. If they think we’re going to tank this away and give up, they can cancel that, because we’re going to come out and play hard every night."

Kris Humphries said he spoke with Danny Ainge & the message was, "We’re not tanking, we’re playing hard…we're trying to make the playoffs."

#Celtics Keith Bogans: I'm coming here to win. If I get the vibe that's not everybody else's attitude here, I'm gonna have an attitude.

Good I don't want a team of players that want to lose. I love what I'm hearing.

Not going to lie I understand why there are pro tankers but man it hurts to see people wanting an organization with as much history as ours and a winning culture to lose. I'm glad the players don't feel that way and are willing to give it their all.

I definitely don't want the players to lose purposely. I want them to play hard. If they happen to lose then it is what it is. I want to at least see effort.

Yes I think they do.

If Humphries does well, then his trade value rises more. If he does well and doesn't get traded, then he can be a wonderful back up big regardless, who can fill in hoes we've always had issues with.

We're lacking veteran presence, and Bogans can certainly help.

It doesn't seem like an opinion, it seems more like what's been told to them from Ainge. Also, I think any player would want to be told to lose purposely regardless of playing time.

Good to see some professional pride around here

no the c's aren't tanking we just featuring them

[Yogi]

Danny, Stevens and Sullinger have also said that outright.  Although I doubt they would say anything else.  I don't think we will tank.  It is not in the DNA of Stevens, Rondo, Bradley, Green, Sullinger and Olynyk.

players don't tank, front offices do - steven a smith

[Quetzalcoatl]

Expendable pieces that don't belong on a championship team are putting their pride in front of us getting a genuine championship piece.  Hopefully they can get traded before the season starts

Exactly what I said, if we are trying to tank on purpose, DA chose the wrong players and coach to do it with!

They say we aren't tanking, yet we're about to enter a season where Keith Bogans is supposedly a new locker room leader.

Love it! Love Humph and Keith already!

Anyone know why G-Wallace wasn't in today's press conference?
