My God it's really happening.  We've started to measure success by 
draft picks.  We've crossed the line as fans.  We've joined the ranks 
of the Mavs and Clippers (having a subpar year this season) who 
aspire to have the #1 pick every year.  They've had many great 
seasons chasing the elusive title of the first pick in the draft.  
They worship the repeat champions Orlando Magic.  Now we can join 
their ranks rooting for #1 picks year after year.  Toss out the 
sixteen 'championships' the Celtics have won over the years--we're 
still looking for our first championship in this arena.

Well, you can root against Boston for the rest of the year but I hope 
they win every game from here on out.  I can't take Bizarro 
Basketball anymore!!!!
