Well here we are folks. It's one of the most enjoyable nights of the year and it's become a fun tradition here at AA. There will be photos, videos, analysis and fun all evening long, so comment early and comment often. We'll get underway around 7pm but in the meantime feel free to click through last year's live blogs, and leave your predictions in the comments.
NBA Draft Live-Blog 2008
NBA Draft Live-Blog 2007
Okay all, I'm here and ready to go. Was just checking out all the MJ news, and the support in LA is amazing. Whether or not you believed the allegations against him or not, there wasn't a person in the world who wasn't touched by his music at some point or another.
With that said, what's the over/under on the number of minutes before ESPN tries a tribute piece?
"I believe it's a very deep draft!"- Dick Vitale
You hear that Bilas? Vitale is trying to best you for biggest over-statement of the Draft! Don't take that nonsense!!! David Stern is kicking this thing off with his cheesy "hard work" speech and we're underway!
"It's a very rowdy group tonight."- David Stern
YES! Thank goodness something in this Draft will be entertaining. DANNY MANNING, CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP!!! Clippers on the clock.
"Clippers frantically looking over their notes to see if they should take Griffin or a new prospect they just discovered, Patrick Chewing." (Via Lammy)
Hahahaha. Too funny.

1. Blake GriffinPF, 6'10", 248 lbs
Oklahoma
You think the Clippers could have gotten Griffin to wear red or something. That purple is a little nasty. Oh and the Clippers Draft Room is clapping for themselves. Really? REALLY?!?! That took a lot of thought. Oh and eff you Clippers for wasting five minutes of our lives!
"Mark Jones is just a horrible host. He used to be good but he has gone off the cheesy end." (Via SS Reporters)
Ain't that the truth! ESPN now scores an interview with Bill Simmons' new nemesis, Mike Dunleavy. Who ironically is the only GM-Coach combo in the NBA.
______________________________
2. Hasheem ThabeetC, 7'3", 267lbs.
Connecticut
"Did the Commissioner just say Tanzania? Yes he did!"- Stuart Scott
Ugh. Stuart Scott just broke the annoying sound barrier. This could be a worse pick than Kandi Man. He's just too slow for the NBA. Basketball has been berry berry good to Hasheem!
"They took Brian West.....er, Russel Westbrook"- Mark Jackson
______________________________
3. James HardenSG, 6'5", 222lbs.
Arizona State
I love the Mark Jackson assessments down the bottom....Sacramento "Need a Point Guard"
Harden is another person I predict as a bust in the NBA, but I like the kid, so I hope he proves me wrong. If the Kings don't take Rubio, they deserve to have the most lottery balls for their existence.
"His shorts are going to be a lot lower than Byron Scott's." - Stu Scott (Via SS)
4. Tyreke EvansSG, 6'5", 220lbs.
Memphis
"He's got size, he's got amazing length."- Jay Bilas
And now we watch Ricky Rubio fall to New York, the only team that can pay his fee. Damn, the Wiz could have had Jason Williams 2.0!
______________________________
5. Ricky RubioPG, 6'5", 180lbs.
Spain
There's not a chance in hell that Rubio weighs 180lbs, ESPN! Oh and the Knicks fans chiming in with the USA chants was priceless. If the Timberwolves select Stephen Curry next, I'm going to lose it. Hey, a Fran Fraschilla sighting! Drink!!!
"He's got a Gretzky like feel for the game of basketball."- Fran Frashcilla
"Oh THATS where Spain is? Thanks ESPN." (Via Lammy)
Great use of the World Map, ESPN. And Jemele Hill's tweet comparing Rubio to Balky from Perfect Strangers was priceless.
______________________________
6. Johnny FlynnPG, 6'1", 196lbs.
Syracuse
Wow. Didn't think they would pick two point guards, especially playing in the West. Johnny Flynn is going to be a good NBA player.....when he gets traded away from Minnesota. If anyone can get me that ESPN puzzle piece in front of Mark Jones, I will pay them top dollar. I want to hang that above my fireplace.
"He's got one of the best smiles in this Draft class"- Mark Jones
Great analysis there.
______________________________
7. Stephen CurryPG, 6'3", 181lbs.
Davidson
"I didn't realize there were so many fans who hated the Golden State Warriors."- Stu Scott
I know the Knicks fans are booing now, but TRUST ME....this is for the best. Pick DeMar DeRozan and love watching him dominate over the next few years. Oh and get this little rumor....Rubio is heading to the Knicks. So just relax.
"He's got real good maturity."- Jay Bilas (Via 49er16)
______________________________
8. Jordan HillPF, 6'10", 232lbs.
Arizona
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
That shows you how much Knicks fans know about Basketball. I think DeRozan would have been the better pick since they already have David Lee, but Hill is a beast. Good pick, but he might be traded to Minnesota soon.
Is it just me or does Donnie Walsh look like he's in the mob?
______________________________
9. DeMar DeRozanG, 6'6", 211lbs.
USC
Hello Tracy McGrady 2.0! Great pick for the Raptors there. Wait, did DeMar just use the word "defensicality"? Jay Bilas would like a word with you!!!
"People leaving draft in droves. Only in NY. Come to boo and leave." (Via Darren Rovell on Twitter)
Thanks for the infomercial on the public transportation, Mark Jones. Signed, Toronto (Via 49er16)

10. Brandon JenningsPG, 6'2", 165lbs.
Compton/Italy
Well I guess you can now say averaging 4.0ppg in Europe will help your draft status. Sorry David Stern.
"He's got a chance to be very very good."- Jay Bilas
Ummm....can't you say that about everybody in the Draft?
"He didn't go to Europe to improve his draft status! He went to Europe to GET PAID." (Via Free Darko on Twitter)
Good point. And now he gets to go to Milwaukee. Screw Italy....Milwaukee is where it's at!!!!
______________________________
11. Terrence WilliamsSG, 6'6", 212lbs.
Louisville
"Terrence Williams says he doesn't watch ESPN...."- Stu Scott
Guess who's my new favorite player! Lebron and Williams in 2010!!!
"Shout out to Jay Bilas. He's a great guy, even though he went to Duke."- Terrence Williams
And now it's time to watch Michael Jordan botch a draft pick! Who's ready for Tyler Hansbrough!!!!
______________________________
12. Gerald HendersonSG, 6'5", 215lbs.
Duke
I'd just love it if one year the Bobcats would draft out of state.
Of course Jay Bilas loves Henderson. Bilas proabably thinks he should have been the first pick. (Via 49er16)
Henderson is one of only a few players Jordan actually saw for Charlotte. Can't believe he made this pick without doing any leg work. (Via TheJonLee on Twitter)
______________________________
13. Tyler HansbroughPF, 6'10", 234lbs.
UNC
And the Knicks fans are right on queue with the chant of OVER-RATED!!! Is anybody completely bored with the Draft at this point?
"It's okay if you want to stay all four years."- Jeff Van Gundy
Well not normally, but okay. Tyler already has the standard/boring answers down pat. 110% Baby!!!!!! Where's Dickie V???
There are going to be tons of mormons rioting in the streets of Salt Lake tonight because Hansbrough didn't go to the Jazz. (Via Lammy)
______________________________
14. Earl ClarkSF, 6'10", 226lbs.
Louisville
Oh my god!!!! That's Brandon Jennings music!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a random appearance. Oh and Jay Bilas....STOP SAYING THE WORD "LENGTH"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No one even cares about the great pick of Earl Clark because Jennings now gets to talk about his decisions. Good times, and that's the end of the lottery.
______________________________
15. Austin DayeSF, 6'11, 192lbs.
Gonzaga
Length, Length, Length, Length, Wingspan....Tayshaun Prince clone....yada yada yada. Next pick please.
Surprise! Dickie V likes the picks of Hansbrough and Curry, and he even says Curry will be the ROY next year. Ugh.
"Daye makes Prince look like the Hulk."- Jeff Van Gundy
______________________________
16. James JohnsonPF, 6'8", 258lbs.
Wake Forest
Not a bad pick there at all. A big man that can shoot is what you need in the league, and with Deng hurt all the time....Johnson might be able to step in right away.
It's time for ESPN to lose the draft rights and put it on Versus or something. I'm tired of these bozos managing to screw up every draft by the verbal diaharrea they spew out. (Via SS)
Yeah, this is pretty damn boring and pointless.

17. Jrue HolidayG, 6'4", 199lbs.

Yawn....Minnesota is getting ready to select another Point Guard, so let's brace ourselves!
Nice wide tie Jrue where did he pick that thing up, 1985? (Via Lammy)
______________________________
18. Ty Lawson (Traded to Denver)PG, 6'1", 199lbs.
UNC
Ummm....when did the Timberwolves become the Lions??? There's no doubt that Rubio is heading to NYC, right? Oh wait....Ty Lawson is going to Denver apparently.
wanna bet that last Minny pick was part of a trade ??? anyone ? (Via Mark Cuban on Twitter)
"You can't play everyone." - JVG (Via JFein)
GENIUS!!!!
______________________________
19. Jeff TeagueG, 6'1", 175lbs.
Wake Forest
Worst defender in the draft. Terrible pick of Teague by the Hawks, who just traded for Jamal Crawford. Just a terrible pick. Got a dollar says the Jazz pick BJ Mullens....
______________________________
20. Eric MaynorPG, 6'3", 164lbs.
VCU
Wow. Interesting pick since they already have Deron Williams in the backcourt. They could send Brewer to the three though, and have a two guard lineup. Intriguing.
Great....a Larry Brown interview. And thank you Knicks fans for once again booing on queue.
______________________________
21. Darren CollisonPG, 6'1", 166lbs.
UCLA
Yes! We have our first player who wasn't invited to the Draft making his way through the fans!!! Always the best move at the Draft. Nothing like having hostile New York fans throwing stuff at you as you surprise David Stern on stage. Good times.
Seriously, how do the Hornets take this guy ahead of Blair? You can get a reliable 10-minute backup PG for $1M this summer. (Via John Hollinger on Twitter)
I don't know about that one. I like the backup point guard move at this point. Plus I want Blair to slip to the Wiz at the top of round two.

That's it for me tonight. Just don't have it in me to stick with this for a whole second round full of foreign players. Thanks for joining in, and I'll have some quotes and videos tomorrow. I'll be on Twitter @ http://www.twitter.com/awfulannouncing, so we can all continue this party there if you'd like.
This is such a weak draft.
ReplyDeletePredictions: James Harden will be a bust. The Knicks will pick somebody no one has ever heard of.
Guarantees: The Sonics won't pick this year. If anyone plays the NBA Draft Drinking Game (because this broadcast will be a trainwreck) then I'll probably be the only one who isn't trashed by the 5th pick.
Holy crap, Michael Jackson is dead.
ReplyDeleteThe King of Pop is no more.
Last I saw it was only just a cardiac arrest says CNN.com. This turribull shrowd is going to be hanging over the draft all night ::sobs::

ReplyDelete/threadjack
I'm in your NBA Draft, spoiling your moods.
There was some uncertainty earlier, but it's pretty much been confirmed now. RIP Michael Jackson.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Stu Scott knows yet? He could break down on live TV if someone mentions it.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the draft goes, while my Sixers need a PG and Ty Lawson seems to be the most likely choice for them, it puts me in a conundrum because it would be a good pick for them, but at the same time, I've always never liked UNC basketball and I really can't picture myself getting excited over Ty Lawson coming to Philly.
ReplyDeleteI fully expect this to be a horrible broadcast for a draft class of busts.
ReplyDelete30 minutes until Blake Griffin is selected #1 overall.
Danny Ferry-: "Trading for Shaq is a unique opportunity." Not, really since pretty much everyones done it already.
ReplyDeleteI'm alreadying hating Stu Scott.
ReplyDelete"Shaq failed to win a playoff game in Phoenix." - John Barr
ReplyDeleteYou mean other than the one in 2007 against the Spurs?
If Shaq doesn't know anything about his new city I know of a couple tourism videos he should check out before he moves.
ReplyDelete"Los Alngeles Clippers." - Stu Scott
ReplyDeleteTaylor is balding already.
ReplyDeleteDo the Wizards have a pick this year? If not then I guess they're complacent with a 20 win season with a hobbled Arenas for another year.
Taylor Griffin rocking the front of the head fade nicely.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap. Vince Carter to the Magic for Alston, Lee, and Battie.
ReplyDeletehttp://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/9732454/Reports:-Nets-deal-Carter-to-Magic-for-Alston,-Lee
Holy crap. Vince Carter to the Magic for Alston, Lee, and Battie.
ReplyDeletehttp://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/9732454/Reports:-Nets-deal-Carter-to-Magic-for-Alston,-Lee
I'm still on the fence about the Wizards/Wolves trade, but its hard to believe that THAT was the best thing they could get. You'd think that a team as guard heavy as them would oh I dunno, get some front line help or something?
ReplyDeleteMagic made a horrible trade. Courtney Lee could become a killer, while Vince still lacks a killer's instinct.
ReplyDeleteCount the number of superlatives used by ESPN tonight.
ReplyDeleteOh God, a Dickie V sighting. Muting my TV now.
ReplyDeleteDickie V just predicted Cavs/Spurs in the 2010 Finals with the Cavs winning.
ReplyDeleteThat was already the most boring Finals in history.....don't do it again.
Yeah I hate that Magic trade too, but I'm all for the Wiz trade. Get rid of dead weight for a shooter and a guard that would be top 10 in this draft as well.
ReplyDeleteClippers frantically looking over their notes to see if they should take Griffin or a new prospect they just discovered, Patrick Chewing.
ReplyDeleteStephen Curry will succeed only if he uses his mother as a distraction.
ReplyDeleteYay Liberty!
ReplyDeleteI want to smack that smug smile out of Stern's face so badly.
ReplyDeleteStern's head looks like a yam with gray play-doh on top.
ReplyDeleteHa! David Stern's mentioning of the Lakers got booed!
ReplyDelete"Sasha Vujacic is a really good player." - Stuart Scott
ReplyDeleteAnd he did this horrible joke involving trading Kobe and Vujacic for pick #1.
Here we go.
Yes, JVG already gettin in the zingers already.
ReplyDeleteVan Gundy making fun of the Clippers.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it taking this long for the Clippers to select Black Griffin?
ReplyDeleteJVG thinks the Clips should trade Camby.
ReplyDeleteWho wants to see the Kaman? Other than for the nut shots?
Griffin's mom looks like she is from the South.
ReplyDelete"Blake Griffin, the All-Galaxy, All-Everything, player of the year." - Stu Scott
ReplyDeleteDid Blake tear his ACL walking to the podium?
ReplyDeleteI have to go out for a bit. I'll be back shortly.
ReplyDeleteMark Jones is just a horrible host. He used to be good but he has gone off the cheesy end.
ReplyDeleteBlake records Snl every week? He wasn't even alive when it was good.
ReplyDeleteGod Damn, give the poor girl (Lisa Salters) a seat.
ReplyDeleteI doubt Tommy Griffin is enjoying this interview.
ReplyDeleteGriffin's mom has a crazy eye!
ReplyDeleteStern is losing his voice.
ReplyDeleteThabeet to the Grizzlies.
If the Thunder pass up Rubio I'll fall over.
ReplyDeleteSurely the Kings would want him?
Hasheem Thabeet: the homeless man's Manute Bol
ReplyDeleteWho the hell is Hamed Hammadi?
ReplyDeleteImprovement: Offense
ReplyDeleteSure the Griz take an offensive stiff.
Brian Westbrook entered the draft? Mark Jackson just told me!
ReplyDeleteJAMES HARDEN?!!!
ReplyDeleteYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTHE KINGS CAN TAKE RUBIO!!!!
"His shorts are going to be a lot lower than Byron Scott's." - Stu SCott
ReplyDeleteJames Harden has joined the bow tie revolution!
ReplyDelete/old jim rome show bit
FACIAL HAIR?!!!
ReplyDeleteFire Mark Jones. Stephen A. wouldn't ask these retarded questions.
"Tariq Evans." - Mark Jackson
ReplyDeleteThis is already worse than last year.
HAHAHAHA!!! Kings pass up Rubio!
ReplyDeleteDamn the Wiz could've had Rubio!?
ReplyDeleteAlthough I wanted Rubio, I can learn to love Evans. The guys at the desk seem to love Evans more than Rubio.
ReplyDeleteThis pick will defenitily be a make or break for Geoff Petrie.
T-Wolves pick Rubio and...?
ReplyDeleteAh, Crap. Who am I kidding. The Kings should have drafted Rubio.
ReplyDelete/Going out to buy a bottle of Crown Royal
Rubio to the T'Wolves.
ReplyDeleteWhat a steal.
Now does Rubio show up in Minnesota? He wanted to play in a big market.
ReplyDeleteOh THATS where Spain is? Thanks ESPN.
ReplyDeleteThe Timberwolves are this year's Blazers as far as drafting studs.
ReplyDeleteJonny Flynn to Minny!?!?
ReplyDeleteThey must be going to trade either him or Rubio.
"He's got real good maturity."-Jay Bilas
ReplyDeleteI though Jay graduated from Duke?
Aside from Songaila's awful contract the Twolves are doing pretty good so far.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, Jonny Flynn is already referring to himself in the 3rd person.
ReplyDelete"Stu, Flynn has got one of the best smiles in this draft." - Mark Jones
ReplyDeleteHe's creeping me out.
Curry will LOVE playing in the Don Nelson system. But what do the Warriors do now with Mota Ellis.
ReplyDeleteStephen Curry to the Warriors.
ReplyDeleteThat hurts. that really hurts. Jordan Hill just doesn't do it for me.
ReplyDeleteThe Knicks have to make a deal for one of the two PG's Minnesota drafted. They have to.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Tim Kawakami, the Warriors are shopping Curry along with other players to Phoenix for Amare Stoudmire.
ReplyDeleteHey AA...The Knicks have the Lakers 29th pick. You still got the Lakers logo up there.
ReplyDeleteI quit. ESPN thinks their entire audience is friggin retarded and giving us useless pieces of information.
ReplyDeleteI have had enough of Mark Jones.
Did anyone else notice the little kid putting in the thumbs down only to have his father reverse it?
ReplyDeleteThat kid giving the thumbs down was classic.
ReplyDeleteMark Jones is making me long for SAS, at least he wasn't boring.
ReplyDelete"He's a really nice guy and he's committed to his job."-Donnie Walsh, talking about Jordan Hill
ReplyDeleteI hope so......
Thanks BK!
ReplyDeleteI smell a sign and trade with D-Lee.

ReplyDeleteLupus? What the fuck's a Lupus?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the infomercial on the public transportation, Mark Jones.
ReplyDeleteSigned Toronto
Brandon Jennings to Milwaukee?
ReplyDeleteI guess Milwaukee should have hired the Sports Fella for GM.
Brandon Jennings is a very left handed player.
ReplyDeleteDid Stu just say "translike" instead of translate?
ReplyDeleteThe Nets are on the clock. Anyone know why Lawrence Frank is still employed?
ReplyDeleteHey Mookie, did you see where Owen Schmitt was picked up for a DUI? How long do you think he will be suspended for?
ReplyDeleteFigures the Nets would take a player with a questionable character.
ReplyDeleteTerrence Williams to the Nets.
ReplyDelete"Why is he sucking up to you?"-JVG
ReplyDelete"They all do."-Jay Bilas
Let's see what pick MJ screws up this year.
ReplyDeleteTerrence Williams doesn't watch ESPN!? Get out of my country pinko!
ReplyDeleteHOLY CRAP! MJ AND LARRY BROWN WENT WITH A DUKE PLAYER
ReplyDeleteGerald Henderson is your next Duke bust....well done to MJ for picking ANOTHER North Carolina player.
ReplyDeleteOf course Jay Bilas loves Henderson. Bilas proabably thinks he should have been the first pick.
ReplyDelete@49er16.....yeah sure I think he'll get suspended for 4 games or something like that. We still have Justin Griffith!
ReplyDelete"When did you know your son had NBA talent? - Lisa Salters
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't.
And suddenly im a little less sad about losing vinsanity. Twill is the man.
ReplyDelete@ SSR: I"m glad I'm not the only one that found that an odd question to ask his father...
ReplyDeleteHoly crap.
ReplyDeleteBoy I can just see Hansbrough, Dunleavy Jr., and Troy Murphy playing on the front line for Indiana now.
ReplyDeleteFIRE LARRY BIRD NOW!
TYLER HANSBROUGH!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd pretty much everyone at ESPN has a hard-on right now...
There are going to be tons of mormons rioting in the streets of Salt Lake tonight because Hansbrough didn't go to the Jazz.
ReplyDelete"How about this crowd saying 'overrated'? Do they not recognize this guy's body of work. He's one of the greatest players of all time." - Mark Jackson
ReplyDeleteOr they just see him for the flaming fraud that he will be exposed as in the NBA....
"They need talent"-Mark Jackson
ReplyDeleteDoesn't every team need talent?
What just happened?
ReplyDeleteWho is Earl Claw, David Stern?
ReplyDeleteI already hate Brandon Jennings. He was blowing kisses to the crowd.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this, the WWE? "Stone Cold Steve Austin is not in the building tonight..." "...oh my God here he comes!"
ReplyDeleteJennings should have just said F-college and go to Europe to get paid.
ReplyDeleteAustin Daye = Tyshaun Prince
ReplyDelete"He's very, very skilled."-Jay Bilas
ReplyDeleteHe must be if you say very twice.
It's time for ESPN to lose the draft rights and put it on Versus or something.
ReplyDeleteI'm tired of these bozos managing to screw up every draft by the verbal diaharrea they spew out.
Austin Daye has grown 7 inches since high school...um, where Stu?
ReplyDelete"He loves video games, especially Madden video games." - Stu Scott on Austin Daye
ReplyDeleteGood to know! For the most important quality that I look in in my NBA Draft prospects is their love of Madden video games. The Pistons are now in good hands with Daye....
Did Dickie V just say Curry will win ROTY? Wow.
ReplyDeleteOf course ESPN brings in Dickie V to talk about Hansbrough.
ReplyDeleteDickie V. thinks Hansbrough will be the next Bill Russell.
"Daye makes Tayshaun Prince look like the Hulk." - JVG
ReplyDelete"Daye makes Prince look like The Hulk." - Jeff Van Gundy
ReplyDeleteA black guy from Wyoming? What next black people from Utah?
ReplyDeleteMy Sixers are now on the clock and Lawson is still on the board. Great....
ReplyDeleteEddie Jordan is not a good pickup.
ReplyDeleteSorry JFein. You get the guy who was owned by Vilanova in the NCAA Tournament.
ReplyDeleteJrue Holiday!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHoliday >>>>>>>>>>> Lawson
Nice wide tie Jrue where did he pick that thing up, 1985?
ReplyDeleteI'm actually happy with the Holiday pick. The draft is about bang for your buck and the Sixers most definitley got that with Holiday at 17. Most importantly though, he's not Ty Lawson!
ReplyDeleteAnd my little brother who pretty much lives and breaths the Sixers is completely giddy.
Where are all the crazy, make no sense trades that could spice up this coma of a draft?
ReplyDeleteHOLY CRAP! MINNY HAS SELECTED 3 POINT GUARDS
ReplyDeleteSmall ball in Minny!
ReplyDeleteGood grief, another point guard for Minnesota???????
ReplyDeleteIs Matt Millen running Minnesota's draft?
ReplyDeleteEveryone in my household was on the edge of their seats, waiting for Bilas to say Lawson is long.
ReplyDeleteLawson to the Nuggets via trade. Probably because Lawson wants to be near Coors headquarters for his next DUI arrest.
ReplyDelete"You can't play everyone." - JVG
ReplyDeleteBrillant!
Say goodbye to Atlanta, Mike Bibby.
ReplyDeleteTerrible pick by Teague? Really?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised Utah didn't go with the white guy from Ohio St.
ReplyDeleteWhy do they need Maynor?
ReplyDeleteI like the Collison pick for NO. He will be a great backup to CP3.
ReplyDeleteHey look Collison.
ReplyDeleteLet's see if the Blazers will destroy everyone in the draft again.
Decent pick for the Hornets
ReplyDeleteWatch the Kings select the Great White Stiff from Ohio St. with the 23rd pick.
ReplyDeleteMavs pick coming up, is Cuban there or at a bar somewhere getting hammered?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind seeing the Blazers trade for one of the T-Wolves PG's. A Travis Outlaw, Rudy Fernandez and the 22 for Flynn would be a good deal for them.
ReplyDeleteNice jab from Mark Jackson.
ReplyDeleteMade my night I guess.
Ha, awesome Dos Equis commercial.
ReplyDeleteWho?
ReplyDeleteBlazers love their Spaniards.
A Spainard named Victor?
ReplyDeleteQue, Fran

Did anyone have Shaq as the first person to bring up Michael Jackson's death?
ReplyDeleteHA! SHAQ WITH A WACKO JACKO MENTION.
ReplyDeleteLisa Salters doing another crappy job with this interview.
ReplyDeleteYeah right. Like Shaq is going to be Big Z's backup.
ReplyDelete"We know you're always a ton of fun." - Lisa Salters to Shaq.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the tear coming down Stu's eye, while mentioning Michael Jackson?
ReplyDeleteReally, Sacramento?
ReplyDelete"They better have good falafel in Sacramento." - Fran Fraschilla
Now that is a typical Kings pick. Geoff Petrie loves his European players.
ReplyDeleteHe won't like where the Jewish community is in Sacramento. Rough neighborhood.
And on that note Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Howard, and Jason Terry have all put in trade requests.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHA..... THE GREAT WHITE STIFF ALONG WITH ERICA DAMPIER.
ReplyDelete"He's got the best name in the draft." - Stu Scott
ReplyDeleteCan't they get ANYONE else to do this?
THE BIG WHITE STIFF TO OK CITY. DON'T THEY HAVE JEFF GREEN?
ReplyDeleteWow so OKC is picking up Mullens?
ReplyDeleteThen again I don't care all that much....I'm seriously not bitter that the Sonics are gone. That was the city's fault and they knew it.
Wait! OKC and Dallas are trading picks!
ReplyDeleteHey look a Taj Gibson sighting!
ReplyDeleteTaj Gibson's Must Improve: Shooting in Traffic
ReplyDeleteIt's Southern California, he should be a pro when it comes to shootings on the freeways.
Taj Gibson Must improve:Shooting in traffic. Well it IS hard to aim your gun with everyone honking at you.
ReplyDeleteJeff Teague poops on you and your assessment.
ReplyDeleteWow is ESPN that slow?
ReplyDeleteThe Lakers sold their pick to the Knicks....where did the trade part come from?
I'd die of laughter if Minnesota selected another point guard....
ReplyDeleteI think at this point they're just tying to end it all as fast as possible...so they can get to SportsCenter and relive this train wreck all over again!
ReplyDeleteANOTHER GUARD!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete"Yet you hear the calls of under-rated." - Lisa Salters talking to RW on Hansbrough
ReplyDeleteI don't think that's what the crowd was chanting.
The Knicks got Darko!!! What a joke.
ReplyDeleteRIP Jeff Goldblum
ReplyDeleteThunder that was a hoax, you know.
ReplyDeleteThe hard-on that everyone at ESPN has for Psycho-T is just unbearable.
