Wednesday Links – Pistons Get #7 Pick, Boston Beats Orlando in Game 2, Both NHL Series at 2-0, & UNC Basketball Is On a Boat

Lots of pictures today, because words are for rich people.

• The Pistons didn’t strike gold in last night’s NBA draft lottery, and ended up with the #7 overall pick. The Washington Wizards got the #1 overall pick, with Philadelphia and New Jersey rounding out the top three. I’ll preview some of the Pistons’ options as the draft gets closer.
• The Boston Celtics took a commanding 2-0 lead in their series against the Orlando Magic with a 95-92 win last night. The series is now heading back to Boston, and we could very well be looking at a sweep. The big news from last night’s game was referee Joe DeRosa throwing a ball at a fan at halftime.

• We also have a pair of 2-0 series in the NHL. Chicago beat San Jose 4-2 to take control of the series as it comes back to the Windy City. Philadelphia shut out the Canadiens (again) 3-0, and will take a 2-0 series lead to Montreal.
• Looks like some members of the UNC men’s basketball team are having a fun summer thus far. Someone call Coach Williams and tell him to get his towel ready. [via Deadspin]

• Oguchi Onyewu, one of the starting defenders for the U.S. men’s national soccer team, has promised to play for AC Milan next season without a salary. “Gooch” (seriously) was rehabbing an injury throughout the season and did not play for the Italian club. Hopefully all that rehab “pays off” and Gooch gets into the lineup for the World Cup.
• Busted Coverage knows we’re fans of Erin Andrews here at D4L, so they hooked us all up with some pics of EA with her sister and that dancer guy at a party.

• LeBron Watch 2010 has gotten to ridiculous levels, and it’s still only May. Hugging Harold Reynolds and Thunder Treats are both sick of it, despite their differing opinions on where LBJ should sign. Personally, I hope he signs with Budapest (they have a team, right?) just so we don’t hear about him anymore.
• Guyism put on a show yesterday with several link-worthy pieces. Of course, you knew that already because you’ve bookmarked their site. Here’s Arianny Celeste in a bikini.
