This is embarassing

[cb8883]

Now can the anti tankers see exactly what the Celtics future is unless they do the right thing and tank? This is just brutal to watch this team get destroyed all series. Would have rather seen the Pacers meet this fate.

Because this team has no chance whatsoever to improve in the future unless they go hinkie on the tank, right...? 

[Who]

They put in such a great showing in the last two games effort wise. It's a shame so many players didn't really come to play today.

[Kane3387]

Yup.

Bummer.

[SHAQATTACK]

Not as embarrassing as tanking or being a 76 ers fan

How is it embarrassing?  The Cavs are so much more talented and experienced than this Celtics team.

It is pretty impressive that they've managed to avoid being beaten by 15+ points in 4 straight games.

Ya because losing 3 competitive games and one blowout to a top 3 NBA team is embarassing but its not embarassing to get routinely blown out by average teams and trying to lose as much as possible for years.

If theres one word that doesnt work in defense of tanking its calling trying to Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing win embarassing.

Tanking is embarassing.

That's not really what I've seen.  It looks like the opposite, to me.  The Cavs came focused and ready to press their advantages.  Compared to the first three games, the Cavs have looked ready to dominate an inferior opponent from the opening tip, and that's more or less what they've done.

Nah. We're going to get better. We're gonna make some signings, get lottery picks from Brooklyn who will basically be the team tanking for us so we don't have to, and we're gonna get a lot better.

i was fine with NOT tanking as long as we dumped vets and let kids play. we did that. problem now is we have way too many role players. we now have to package picks and players for help now. determine who is good enough to stay on team for future. if we cannot use players and picks to get proven players we had best get lucky in the lotto or it is back to tanking and back to square one.

We played them tougher than I thought we would.  The fact that we only lost by 8 a couple times is pretty amazing.   8 points is a clear victory, but it sure could have been worse.

There is a huge differance between tanking (ie Philly) and competing with what you have (celtics last year).

Yea, unless we get lucky in this draft and next years we will be in purgatory. Also we have to clear room and make trades. Last we need to take on contracts and do what we did with Zeller/Lin, etc

I'm having serious headaches knowing that Towns is 100% off the table for us.

Hold your horses this one ain't over yet
