Fifth. The Celtics will be drafting fifth next month. Fuck you, Adam Silver.
That man you see to the left is probably not happy right now. He's probably already texted his agent with the obligatory, "alright, get me the hell out of here!" message.
But we knew this was gonna happen, right? We knew the bad "tanking" karma was gonna come back to bite this team in the ass, didn't we? There was never a chance the Celtics would get one of the coveted top two picks, was there?
I don't know who pissed off the Basketball Gods (besides the tankers), but apparently they have ruled that the penance the Celtics must pay for thirty years of magic is thirty more years of hell.
Hopefully Bill Simmons is alright, because the one thing I absolutely CANNOT wait for is tomorrow's column on this topic. It could be the most awesome depressed/angry/frustrated/"I've lost the will to live" moment any of us has ever seen.
Seriously, though, what the hell happens now? Who do they take in this slot? Corey Brewer? Joakim Noah? Al Horford? Mike Conley, Jr.? Greg Oden, Sr.? That really tall Chinese guy? This doesn't only affect the Celtics - it means I actually have to put some effort into figuring out who they should draft. Fuck you, Adam Silver.
(And you know what? Fuck you too, Blogger. If I hit "enter", I want a space between paragraphs. If I don't, I want to continue the paragraph. Not that difficult.)

cry me a river.
this is the first good thing to happen to the sonics since GP was let go
Blame it on your lame-ass GM and coach for openly tanking and courting Durant's family.
Yeah it's blatantly on Ainge and Rivers at this point, in terms of karma.
I will say though, that going with the China-man with Horford or potentially even Hibbert on the board at five is a yeee-uge mistake.
I would be interested if the Chinese guy fell to the Sixers somehow. Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
Haha. Well the NBA Draft hates parity so that's just the price your team has to pay. As a Bucks fan I'm in the almost exact same situation so don't worry....except we didn't tank as bad as you guys did.
I watched a piece on the Asian-American (Man, that's funny). He looked like he had some game. Certainly an upgrade from the red-headed caucasoid-American, Brian Scalabrine.

By the way, I'll sum up today's Bill Simmons column:
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. He's still pushing the "Celtics are cursed by the fates" angle, and it's just lame. I suppose it was Lady Luck who was rolling up $20 bills the night Len Bias died, nevermind all of the other horseshit nonsense he's claiming as bad luck.
"Asian-American"? How long has he been in America, 6 months? Does a guy become a hyphenated American the second he steps foot in America?
He's a man from China, I don't see what's wrong with the phrase China-man.
Was anyone else severely disappointed by Simmons' column today?
