Memphis: 13-38 (.255) Boston: 12-37 (.245) Yay. We are just so damn good. Something needs to happen, I'm sick and tired of this. As a complete die-hard, I can't stomach this.

As your the worst teams in the league. Even though that means jack in the lottery, when your not guaranteed a 1 or 2 pick with the worst record.
I don't actually know if this is good or bad?Oden or Durant?I will say that I can't stomach another loss though. If we won out the year, missed the playoffs, and got last in the lottery, I wouldn't complain, because I hate watching these kids lose.

Thank you! The fact of the matter is we WON'T trade Pierce if we don't get #1 or 2. That is the problem. We have NOT picked a direction... 4 years into Danny Ainge's tenure.

Sorrybut I was actually laughing kinda @ the celtics playing on tv .. there terrible and are losing .. oh well. People who think the Celtics are clearly worse than the grizzlies and sixers are fair ''silly'', why ? because if you would look closely these 3 teams are no better than each other LOOK closely .. skill wise and everything right now there equal .. il bet that they all finish the year with simler records no more than 5 wins apart.I betttttttttttttt that. anyways the celtics are just losing more at this momment .. it's obvous with pierce in there lineup that there chances of winning is going to rise in each game, just like pau back in the grizzlies lineup though they an't winning many more lol and yes ... my point is the draft lotterly (luck time) and mmm no one should have a cry about losing, every teams is a losing team once n a while.

I see the streak ending vs. the Bucks. You guys will lose to Minny(not by much) but then beat the Bucks.I'm telling you, thats how it will go. :winkglasses:
With the way it's looking now, I think Memphis and Boston will be the 2 worst teams in the League. Which means that both will have a great shot at either Durant or Oden. I would still be very happy with the #2 pick. Durant is going to be a superstar too. He is 6"10, amazingly athletic, he has a very nice jumpshot. He is going to average 30 a game one day, no doubt....What the Celtics have to watch out for though is getting too good when Pierce comes back. You don't want to fall back to the #4 pick. That would be a huge failure ont he Celtics part. They need to still play their young guys alot when Pierce returns.
Yeah..I meant memphis and boston...of course I know we arent garunteed....but nice thought....lighten up some
CB4, no, it's not guaranteed. Look at the odds: if you finish with the worst record, you still have a less than 50% chance at getting one of the top 2 picks. It's like 46% or something. Those percentages aren't really that good at all. Also, Greg Oden is NOT a guarantee to come out. Nobody knows if he will or not right now, even Oden himself, but I would not be surprised if he stayed another year or two. I think Durant will come out, but you never really know (he's a freshman too). Our luck = We will finish with the worst record, Oden will stay in school, and we'll fail in the lottery and not end up with the #1 pick. If we don't get an Oden or Durant in this draft, then it's terrible. Why? Because guys like Brendan Wright, Joakim Noah, Julian Wright, etc. are projects. The last thing we need is another project rookie on our team. Paul Pierce would probably commit suicide.
We realize that, most likely Oden will stay unless he wins a championship...Durant is going to come out...defiently if Oden isnt.
Oden is a perfectionist..I really don't think he's gonna come out this year even if they win a championshipOden wants to work on parts of his game that he hasn't been able to work on this year because of the injury..and he said and I quote "I want to be an impact player once I get to the NBA right away."I think another year of college would give him that extra part(s) to his game that he wants to work on..his offensive moves inparticularDurant I think is ready to jump to the NBA and score 20 PPG..Oden's body frame and his presence is going to help him dominate but I think that extra year of college down the road will really give him that advantage over other big men in the NBA offensively..even though he could be one of the best defenders in the league if he jumped after this season he might not be the offensive player he wants to beI just hope both don't stay in school if we do get that #1 pickbut do you wanna know something funny?the team with the worst record since the introduction of the lottery has only gotten the #1 pick twice? and the team with the third worst record since has gotten the #1 pick 4 or 5 times?
