May 22nd, 2007 Lottery Day Is Here

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:

  • 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.

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.

Good luck, Tommy!
