A whole lotto fun
I'm embarassed to admit it, but I completely forgot the NBA Draft Lottery was on last night. I was watching the Sox game, when along the bottom of the screen came the words: "BREAKING NEWS." Now, being a regular viewer of ESPN News, I've become conditioned to those 2 words preceding headlines like these:
"Lorena Ochoa will skip Swiss Bank Open (shoulder)"
"Penguins sign D Sergei Gonchar to 2-year extension through 2011" . . . . and . . .
"Programming change: Hawks vs Blazers moved from ESPN to ESPN2"
Naturally, I only paid half-attention to what this "breaking news" actually was. But when it stayed up longer than I could tolerate, I glanced down to carefully read the headline. It was shortly after I finished, that I stopped paying attention to the person I was on the phone with.
My first thought? Derrick Rose is coming home. But the Bulls can't go wrong with Rose or Michael Beasley- the pick will ultimately be decided by which guys they're able to trade to balance out the roster. If dealing some guards nets them a better return, Rose is the pick; if dealing some big men does it, then Beasley is the pick.
The next 10 years of Bulls basketball were forever altered last night. I just wish I would have been able to experience it live. And after watching tape of it this morning, I really wish I could have experienced it live.

How does the Knicks PR person let that guy pronounce their new coaches name wrong? That is unbelievable... Keep up the good work...!
