1994-What if the Celtics draft Eddie Jones instead of Montross?

All of these submissions have the makings of a really good Joan Osbourne song.


Yeh, I know that tune

"What if God (Shamgod) Was One of Us?"
Yup

What is the Celtics never acquired Will Solomon?

What if Ainge doesn't reacquire Antione and we are thus able to draft Danny Granger over Gerald Green? (I'm guessing less Gerald posts on celticsblog)

What if Dee Brown didn't injure his knee during preseason of his second season?

What if the Celtics kept their pick and drafted Brandon Roy?

What if Pierce was traded for CP3?

What if the C's drafted Marc Gasol instead of Pruitt?

What if Red didn't trick people into thinking he wanted Brad Daughtery, b/c Red wanted Bias, so Bias was the #1 pick and the C's settled for Brad Daughtery. (How many titles would we have?)

What if Stern doesn't punish Memphis, Boston, And Milwaukee for tanking and we ended up with Durant?

What if we drafted Chalmers and signed Andersen, and Barnes?

What if we drafted Tim Hardaway instead of Michael Smith?

What if we drafted Joe Johnson (and kept him) and Tony Parker?

What if KG had taken my offer of a knee transplant?

What if Pitino didn't trade a 1rst (that became Andre Miller) for Vitally Potapenko.

What if we didn't trade for Ray and/or KG

What if Red didn't draft Larry Bird a year early

What if Larry had come to play for the Celts the week after he lost in the NCCA finals

What if the fans didn't need nor want cheerleaders, mascots, t-shirt guns and all the other things that distract from the game?

What if they had never sold Crunch & Munch at the Garden.

What if Red had Blond hair?

What if Henderson hadn't stolen the ball?  (can't even deal w/ this one)

A really serious and grim one, but what if Pierce wasn't wearing his leather jacket?

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Blondie Auerbach just doesn't have the same ring.  :)

What if, instead of lighting up a cigar, Red celebrated a victory by having a ballboy pull his finger?
Yup
