ESPN's Marc Stein Says Boston is Tanking

[AHF]

Stein accused Boston of tanking by fabricating injury to PP this season in his chat today. Interesting stuff:

Jason (Boston): Hey Marc, are the Celtics tanking now, or is PP's "injury" really making him take this long to come back?

Marc Stein: Since you put quote marks around the word "injury," I'm guessing you -- like Vance at the top -- already know the answer here. Pierce has always been a durable guy. A very durable guy. You know what I'm saying.

let them fight it out is what I say.

I'd like to see the Hawks give Pheonix the 12th pick in the draft this year.

Why else would they keep Doc? He sucks. The team might accidentally rally around a new coach.

you aren't lying. that would be great. no matter what phxsuns may say, we got Joe Johnson. I don't see anyone lobbying for Boris Diaw to go to the allstar game.

Boris would have a shot in the east.....

Hm.. on the Wizards maybe. I don't think he can be successful in the frontcourt in a halfcourt offense.

lol JJ is borderline in the East but Boris would get in over JJ, Caron Butler, etc.? Not a chance. He isn't close to being an All-Star in either conference. Enjoy him anyway, though - he is a great fit in the Suns frontcourt.

Hahaha, good one.

Once the rosters come out why don't you tell us who he'd replace.

Boris is what he is, a role player in the perfect situation, in the perfect system with Steve Nash.
