Here's my blog post on this: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><div align="center"></div> The time has come, Boston fans. The 2007 NBA Draft Lottery will take place tonight at 8:30 pm ET on ESPN, right after Kia NBA Shootaround and right before Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals (Utah @ San Antonio). We can only hope for the best, as the Celtics have the second best chances in the lottery. With the prizes being 7′0′? manchild Greg Oden and infinitely talented Kevin Durant, this is clearly a huge day for this franchise. Do you have any superstitions, any type of ritual, or are you just going to dress/act casually? I?m doing whatever I can to help this franchise succeed in this lottery. How, you ask? First of all, I am not a religious person by any means, but I have been praying on a nightly basis for luck in the lottery. I will also be absolutely decked out in Celtics apparel tonight. This is what I?ll be wearing: <ul>[*]A Celtics t-shirt with a Paul Pierce jersey over it.[*]A pair of Celtics night pants with a pair of Celtics shorts over them.[*]A pair of Celtics boxers.[*]A pair of Celtics socks.[*]A Celtics hat.[*]A Celtics headband and wristband.[*]An ?I Am A Celtic? bracelet (from 2005).[*]A Celtics pin.[/list] Also make of note that I will be holding up my bobblehead of Lucky in one hand and drinking green kool-aid out of my big Celtics mug that I have never drank out of before. I?ll also be sitting on my Celtics bedspread, I?ll be in the CelticsBlog chat room (or Celticsstuff Live, whichever is more packed), and I have an Oden/Durant wallpaper on my computer. Hopefully Celtics lottery representative Tommy Heinsohn, the truest Celtic alive, can bring us home a prize. Hopefully Red is looking down on us and will lead us to happiness and glory. We can only hope, because God knows we?ve waited long enough. <div align="center"> Good luck, Tommy!</div></div> This is what we've all been waiting for, guys. If there is a God, please do not devastate this franchise yet again. Please, I'm begging you.
You should die your hair green as well CB32! I'm rooting for those Celtics to get #1, they've been growing on me.
I'm ready too Celtic, I don't have as much Celtic gear as you though . I'm happy Tommy is going for us, this way if we don't get a top 2 pick we get a nice laugh as Tommy explodes and starts yelling about the way it works and how it's ridiculous. On a real note this is a HUGE day for the franchise.
I want the Celtics to get the number one pick if the Bulls dont get it.(Bulls do actually have a chance at the number one pick)
celticballa32 on lotto nightI'm praying that we get a top 2 pick. I'll be fine with 2 but 1 would be the best. I have a good feeling our luck is gonna change for the best tonight.

It's about time the Celtics franchise needed a revival. I want to see them with the 1st pick, Milwaukee just got it in 2005. Memphis is a good team already but that Gasol injury in the beginning of the year F*cked them over, and they never recovered.
I want Celtics to get number one. I'm not a big fan of the organization but I like their colors...yup, I'm simple to win over.
Personaly, I want Memphis, Boston and Atlanta to all get top 3 picks. Boston and Memphis should just go into this hands braced and root for each other cause the its not really 1st or 2nd this year, its more like 1st pick:version 1 and version 2. Cant go wrong with Oden or Durant.I was watching the video on past drafts of the #1 pick lottery teams, and I swear 6 times Memphis was #2....its about time we get #1.
"I guarantee it, the Celtics will get the #1 pick"F*ck.Jon Barry just owned the sh*t out of us.Way to jinx it douche bag.
Like what the F*ck? How does Bucks - Grizz and Celtics not get atleast in the top three? fu*kin bullsh**.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHBAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHBHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHA :HAHAHA:
