Gainzo Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I'm not a fan of the way the NBA has the ping-pong balls to determine who gets the 1st pick. The Celtics were screwed in '97 when they received picks 3 & 6 and the Spurs ended up with Tim Duncan. I heard today that only 5 or 6 teams who finished dead last have ended up with the 1st pick since the NBA instituted this ridiculous system. I'm just hoping the Celtics get pick 1 or 2. If not I may just jump of a bridge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 The way the NBA does its draft with this ping pong ball crap is a joke. I will never watch it, unless the Knicks are in serious contention for the #1 overall pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well unfortunately I hope you ended up taking a dive off the Brooklyn Bridge because their is no way I want Oden or Durant facing my Knicks that often and I hope we dont get a top 3 and have to give it to Chi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Speez Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Too bad he cant play defense... Yeah Chi did do a poor job of teaching him the fundamentals I am glad he is only 24 and his D is improving if you have been watching him play, but that was a weak comeback again but use it as much as you can because I dont think you will be able to say that for long either.

Sir Speez Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I think Atl would have been better off not getting the 3rd pick and paying off Phx with the the 4th pick this year and taking a big man with the pick they got from the pacers...then prepping for the lottery next year...the 3rd pick in this draft is like sloppy thirds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 The lottery this year turned out to be a complete JOKE. 1. Portland 2. Seattle 3. Atlanta 4. Milwaukee 5. Boston I don't see Portland taking Oden with Aldridge in house, more likely they'll go Durant and team him up with Randolf at F with Roy & Jack at G. Seattle will go Oden then at 2... ATL & MIL, who knows but if Yi Ji is there at 5, he might go to Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see how Portland can not take him...didnt Aldrigde get hurt last year I would move him to the 4 or trade him...Oden is an East Coast Center playing in the West he will Dominate most nights lilke Shaq did and Yao does.

After Oden and Durant this is one of the weakest drafts ever. Tyrus Thomas will turn out to be an ok 6'9 role player but those are a dime a dozen in the nba. Centers with post-up game that average 19 points and 6 rebounds a game are much more valuable. Have fun with scrubs like Spencer Hawes, Tiago Splitter or that guy from China who probably sucks.

Celts and Grizzlies were clearly the two worst teams in the league last year and they should be getting Oden and Durant. However I disagree with Portland taking Oden over Durant. While I think Kevin Durant is right now the better player and a lock to win rookie of the year next season talented 7 footers are much harder to find. Oden could become the next dominant big man in the nba. (Hopefully not the next Sam Bowie though!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaborJet Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Let me start out by saying that I don't really follow this sport too much. But this draft lottery is a complete joke. The western division has been dominant for years, and now the first two picks go to western teams? Please. The NBA is more lop-sided than the NFL was in the NFC-dominant 80's-90's stretch.

124 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Have fun with the 9th overall pick.. you can keep it Chicago. If Corey Brewer is there at 9 though, I will be major league PISSED. Would've loved to see him stay in Orange & Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so i take it you are a Chi fan cool...then you would also know that when they had Curry his role was only to put points in the basket since he got there along with Jamal Craw i might add...because they drafted the so called twin towers with Chandler who was responsible for anchoring the defense and rebounding, and lazy yeah i guess he wouldl be considered lazy since the most they ever played him was in his second year and then it was for only 29 minutes a game...they did a poor job of developing him and most that really follow the sport would agree not every management style works for every player, i am not making excuses for him because i do think he needs to be more agressive and passionate about his game, but he came straight out of high school at 7 ft 300 lbs of course he defensive skills lacked because now he had to play people his height and stronger than him much different than whe the only competition you see is at bball camps...Curb usually you make some sound arguments/points but your banter on this topic leaves a bit to be desired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
