NBA Lottery


More thoughts on the lottery strictly from a Bulls fan perspective. When the draft order got mixed up, and Mark Jones announced the Bulls would be in the top 3, I was giddy. Sure I was still a little anxious because the top 2 are defiantly what teams and fans wanted. When the T'Wolves were third, my excitement was reaching the peak. When I saw the flaming ball being released from the second envelope, it was the most joy I've felt since the 2005 series. Now, the debate begins, Rose and Beasley who to take. Right now, no definitive answer on my part since I'm still shocked at the fact, but the early leader to me is Rose, not only because of the hometown connection, but because of the way he played in the Tourney.

Lottery

A SHOCKER in the lottery, as my hometown Chicago Bulls pulled off the stunner of the night landing the top pick. The Bulls had a 1.7% chance of winning the top pick, and somehow got their ball picked. Now lets see what Paxson has in store, hopefully he doesn't screw the pooch on this one. Complete Draft order below.

1. Chicago Bulls
2. Miami Heat
3. Minnesota Timberwolves
4. Seattle SuperSonics (probably Oklahoma City)
5. Memphis Grizzles
6. New York Knicks
7. L.A. Clippers (making their familiar appearance in the lottery)
8. Milwaukee Bucks
9. Charlotte Bobcats
10. New Jersey Nets (Jay-Z was Blueprint 2 THE CURSE)
11. Indiana Pacers
12. Sacramento Kings (Malouf brothers prove again why they are great owners)
13. Portland Trailblazers
14. Golden State Warriors

No real shockers other then the Bulls, how do you think Mr. D'Antoni feels now. Poor guy.
