Re: SAM'S CELTICS FORUM OFFICIAL 2012 LIVE DRAFT THREAD

Every team has 5 minutes in the first round. Right?

by **Sam** Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:16 pm

I'm already wretching from having to watch ESPN make a production of the draft. They've already shown dancing players from U. of Kentucky.

I think ALL picks both rounds are 5 minutes, maybe the second is 3 not sure

beat,

I thought the 1st round was 5 and the second was 2 minutes.

Ok, I've had enough waiting. I'm relocating to a barstool, hopefully where there's WiFi. At 5 minutes per, we won't get to pick for almost 2 hours. I could break both my legs and crawl there by then.

I thought the second round was two minutes. I think they did that just for TJ's sake.

(Explanatory note to Kenn): TJ is one of our resident Lakers fans, along with Mustang Gator. They're not trolls, and they do a pretty good job of treading the fine and difficult line between supporting their teams and upsetting Celtics fans.

Ouch, the boos.

Oh goodie, everybody's favorite part -- Stern speaking.

You would think they were in Philly!

Thanks, Sam. I've got a pretty good filter for nonsense. I can appreciate edginess, but draw the line at obnoxious. I mostly ignore as needed.

by **Sam** Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:42 pm

Kenn,

We don't even have an ignore button on this forum. No need. Naturally there are disagreements, but we're populated by fine people who use their heads. I really appreciate the character of this board.

Mission Accomplished! An Anchor Steam in hand, WiFi available and the draft on TV.

Anthony Davis was picked #1? Really. Starting off with an upset.

A bit of an upset at #2 by Charlotte: Kidd-Gilchrist rather than Beal.

And I appreciate the characters on this board. In fact, the only reason I'm watching the draft is because Sam set up this thread. Otherwise, I'd just read about it later tonight after the picks are done and (almost more importantly) the trades after the picks are done.

Hey Bob

<clink>

Cheers

by **bobheckler** Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:47 pm

Kidd-Gilchrist #2. Well, that's a minor upset. Robinson was projected by EVERYBODY to go second.

by **tjmakz** Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:47 pm

Beal has to go number 3.

by **bobheckler** Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:48 pm

Beal.

Ok, so Robinson and Barnes are coming up. The way this is going it might be in the opposite order.

Today is Beal's 19th birthday?

by **Sam** Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:48 pm

Right you are, TJ. Wall has a dynamic backcourt mate.

Sam

by **bobheckler** Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:51 pm

Wall, Beal, Nene, Blatschke. I don't know who their SF is, but damn that's a tough team so far.

by **bobheckler** Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:52 pm

Ariza. Their new SF is Ariza.

by **tjmakz** Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:53 pm

Barnes is my guess at 4.

Plus Vesely, Okafor.

by **Outside** Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:55 pm

Hey Bob, could Robinson fall to Golden State??

by **bobheckler** Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:55 pm

Holy Guacamole! Waiters! He never started a game in college? WTF? This isn't a crap shoot, it's a magical mystery tour.

by **Sam** Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:55 pm

Waiters' selection at #4 by Cleveland could help push others (especially bigs) down a notch.
