A Big F-You to Us Celtics Fans

Hooray! A crappy season to play for the right to draft high next year. Not "opportunity", not "chance to win one of the top 2 spots in the lottery," it was a "F-You Boston!"

Last time we had this high of a chance, we ended up with 2 good players, which we gave up on too early (Ron Mercer and Chauncey Billups)...and San Antonio ended up with Tim Duncan. Those players ened up with 4 titles (3 for Duncan, 1 for Billups...actually 2005 it was Billups VS Duncan) in 10 years. We ended up with 5 playoff appearances. Hooray.

True, there's still talent. There's Yi Jinlingaling Jianlian, the 7-0 forward from China. He ways about as much as a fly sitting on a paperweight. He wants to play outside (Vladamir Radmonvic, anyone?). There's Brendan Wright and AL Horford everyone talks about...But I think we need a big man. A 7-footer with a desire to rebound. I'm thinking Joakim Noah. Sadly, he won't go at 5, but he's vastly underated as an athlete. Think a more motivated Marcus Camby. Or, Roy Hibbert - a 7-2 monster who appears to enjoy playing defense. of course, that's all he can play (ha!), but still... The draft's always fill of big men who go bust, so maybe they are better off just drafting a guard, like Corey Brewer or Mike Conley.

Oh well. We're getting the 5th. Why? Because of all the times we supported a company (not team), that's drafted ineffectually, given up on good players, won't give up on bad ones, traded for the same player twice, and is always willing to...you know what? I'm so mad with the Celtics, I dont' think they deserve any more words!
