Martin Johnson from the NY Sun seems to understand this team as well as anyone.

The mock board “experts” have begun a new round of speculation with few draft order constants except for Oden and Durant. Some speculate that the weakest part of the draft (by position) is the PG position. I wonder why they think the center position has more talent? Apart from Oden, is there another top-10 center? True, Conley may go early based more on team needs than pure NBA potential. It would appear that the two most important positions, center and PG, do have the fewest candidates in the list of top 30 draftees.

God I hate Jemele Hill. Her argument, there are basketball gods and they punished the celtics for tanking (even though we were not really tanking, just trying out young players since we had nothing to win for). But I guess her argument makes sense considering the spurs were punished for tanking by getting Duncan and we were punished that year by getting Billups. What a lazy argument.
