Re: Celtics
eh, it's not that simple.
The Celtics had 2 obvious tank jobs. That game where they had a 12 point lead in the 4th and put in the bench unit, and the game against the Bucks where they fought fire with fire when the Bucks decided Michael Redd was injured, on top of their Bogu(s)t and Charlie V injuries. The latter was just ridiculous.
Now, Doc had an arguable position on bench players coming in. He has a young team, and they have to learn to play in all situations, and the season is already a lost cause (believe me, they weren't tanking during that 18 game losing streak. They were just that bad). So how come the Cs get penalized for that, but teams like Dallas and San Antonio can sit guys at the end of the season to rest up for the playoffs ("in the best interest of the club"). You're giving paying fans an inferior product no matter what.
