Probably the win. Really need to save the pick to next year so they have space to resign Smart

I’m most surprised that people picked the game.

#2 means luka doncic (the most nba ready draft pick of all time).

obviously both but if forced to just pick one, a win tonight.  would really put the C's in the driver's seat to get to the finals for the first time in 10 years.

i picked #2 (i rather have both haha), cuz I don't see us winning the chip this year but having the 2nd pick opens up the door for so many possibilities, either drafting a future big for BS to develop and Horford to mentor

OR

trade the pick for another star

The #2 pick, its a lower chance and has a bigger impact on the potential future of this team. Plus its a one shot and then its done for a full year, even if the C's lose this game the series isn't decided!

I voted the win. The pick would be amazing but if it doesn't convey this summer they'll get Sacramento's pick next summer and that'll still be good.

If the Celtics lose tonight, though, it becomes so much harder to win the series. A win tonight keeps them on track to making the finals.

You guys are nuts.  We have a real chance of making the finals!  And yet people still care more about what might happen in the future?  Game #2 by a mile.

You think Doncic is more NBA ready than Tim Duncan?
I'm bitter.

We don't hang banners for making the finals. Getting the #2 pick would do more to help us win another ring than a win tonight, so it's a no-brainer.

Not to mention that we can still win the series if we lose tonight (though it would be a lot harder). Getting the #2 or #3 vs winning the series would be a lot harder to answer
I'm bitter.

As of draft day, yes.

I voted for the win (assuming it means win the series).  "Both" was an easy cop out.  Drafting is a crap shoot at best (just ask Philly, it took them like 6 picks to get 2 good players).  I would not trade winning the series for a pick this year over a pick next year.

Now if we win tonight but lose the series somehow, then that is different.

Absolutely. 

Still want both, though!

My ranked order:

Winning the title

Getting the #2 pick (so guarantee of Doncic or Ayton)

Winning the Series

Getting the #3 pick

I want both! With all the injuries we had this year I feel we have earned both.
