  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Just a reminder to get excited because this is a once in 25 year event for most franchises.

It's a bummer to watch our team struggle these last 2 games but even if we lose this game and series, we have so much to look forward to. Mainly because of Danny Ainge.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

Every time I play the lottery game we end up at #4.  So not liking our chances.

With our luck we'll be picking 4th 😐

I honestly don't think I can watch it. Winning this draft lottery has been talked about so much and for so long, that anything other than the #1 pick is going to be disappointing. I will most likely record it, just in case the Celtics are lucky enough to get the top pick.

I cant watch it. Too much tension for me. I'd rather watch game 7 , 1 pt game with 1 sec on the  clock

If we do get 4th, how many letters does Ainge get from "fans" blaming him for not getting a higher pick?

Well fans will find a way to pin it on Ainge, Brad or most especially Smart.

Percentage-wise, that's the most likely spot we can end either way.

True but like I said before, its more likely we end up in the top 3 than #4 anyway.

I haven't followed the candidates or their platforms too closely, but it seems 1 through 4 is pretty even.

Doubtful that he'd get any, because I'd fully expect us to trade the pick if we got 4th. I really think it's Fultz or trade this draft.

Every time I watch it live we do badly. I won't watch. Hope it works out like last year according to actual record.

Preparing for the worst.

Every 10 years or so, this franchise gets a kick in the groin on lottery night.
