I would have almost picked Mickey at 28 but since Hunter was available I went with Hunter at 28 hopefully Mickey would still be there at 33.
Two solid picks at 28 and 33.

Mickey plays like he's got a 9'2 + standing reach. Great athlete and has extremely long arms

I think we can all see the truth now, and hopefully we can move on from here.
You still sound as insecure as a 39 year old in a miniskirt.
Celtics weren't able to trade up tonight. That's not a victory for you? Right now you are actively rooting against the team because of a personal vendetta, it's gross.
Root for the team not you being right?
Hey noob... I think you have been a good addition here, but how about staying out of conversations that predate you by a couple of years?
The anti-tank crowd deserves all of this, even if we all wanted the team to do better.
Truth hurts though. Besides I'm less of a noob than a reregisterer, but I don't pimp status on a Celtics' fan site.
I've been reading this site for over 10 years. This argument has done some ugly things to this site. People are losing sight of what is important, the Celtics. I understand the reason, but the debate should be over. Over as soon as Ainge traded for IT2, it was clear it was over. You don't see the value of the shift fine, but to actively root against the team you pledge allegiance to? It's a bad look.

That's Hinkie for you.
God, what a horrible GM. The fact that he has fooled so many people into thinking he is good...is so funny.

Re: Official Live Celtics Draft Night Thread
Finally a pick that makes me happy.
20 y/o, one of the country's best shot-blockers, purportedly has good lateral quickness, good motor, and a high IQ. Slightly more size and length than Draymond Green and he will add strength. I know that he doesn't have the same physical/athletic gifts, but in terms of general impact, I really feel like this guy is everything that WCS supporters have been saying that WCS is.

I really think the character issues will keep us at bay. Especially with how young our team is

He's right, Cave. Certain posters on both sides of the war are never going to back down. So, you can choose to wage it forever, or step away at some point, unsatisfied. It's your call, but there's only one sane decision.

It is. I'm still hoping the Celtics can get Cousins & Aldridge. As currently constituted, this roster is a joke. First round, and out team.

With the 45th pick do you still think it isn't worth to take a shot at him?

Re: Official Live Celtics Draft Night Thread
OMG, sixers have 5 2nd round picks. 4 more to go. Want to make bets on how many left are centers?
