Boston sports Fans have the worst mentality of all.

Everything is negative and pessimistic.

What you are forgetting is this is TECHNICALLY Brooklyn's ping pong balls. They just happen to have our logo on them.  :)

Brooklyn/New Jersey have had much better "luck" in the Lottery than us, so staying positive, we will for sure get the #1 pick because that is how we break the curse.

Its someones elses wasteful season that we benefit from!


Very true!! I think it is a defense mechanism. See if we get the 1st pick it will be great news and everyone will be ecstatic. On the other hand if we drop to the 6th we can say oh well we expected it the lottery gods hate us at least we got CBS

This is a "losers" mentality though.

We are the doggone BOSTON CELTICS

We have won the most NBA Championships YET our fanbase expects BAD THINGS?

Tell me how that works?

WE WILL GET THE #1 pick mark my words. Or 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc., but guess what...

Its alll GRAVY!

... and then he'll die of a cocaine overdose.

How's that for pessimism?!  Lottery night for Celtics fans is like Lucy with her football, times one thousand.

Just be ready for it to be four or five and remind yourself that getting a top 5 pick, in a year you got to watch the team win fifty games in the regular season and playoffs, is pretty sweet.

That would only happen if it were the #2 pick.  Lenny RIP.
