Celtics Fans...

Get over it. The NBA lottery worked exactly as it was supposed to - as a lottery, and as a deterrent against teams deliberately tanking their seasons to get higher draft picks. You didn't get #1 or #2? Such is the bounce of the ball. You also didn't get #12.

Next year, try harder.

And as much as I love The Sporting News, whoever green-lit that Simmons-esque phantasmagoria on "What if the Celtics had gotten Tim Duncan?" really needs to get outdoors and watch some baseball. "What If" barely worked for Marvel Comics; there's no real place for it in the world of sports.

But what if the Celtics had gotten Wolverine, hmm? HMMM?!?!?!!?? Didn't think of THAT, didja?

No way, man. Wolverine is, like, five-foot-four, even if he has mad hops. You'd totally want, like, Nightcrawler. One bamf, straight to the hoop - we're talking serious mutant posterization.

*ahem*

Sorry about that. I'm better now.
