Thursday Other Stuff (5-31-12) Stuck

Rondo was lights out last night, in a losing effort. I think he was the only Celtic to score in OT. Since I play basketball on Wednesday's, I only watched the 4th quarter of the game and highlights of the Kings win, Kopitar's goal was a thing of beauty.

With so many people thinking the NBA Draft lottery system is fixed, why don't they broadcast the entire ping pong show or at least stream it somewhere.

QOTD: Do you think the NBA Draft lottery system is fixed?

If any of these links interest you, talk about them! (If you find any, send me a PM. I'll post them in the next update and mention you.)

Happy Birthday to the following OS'ers!

I don't know if it usually is but definitely seems like it was after the CP3 thing happened to the Hornets.. IJS

Rondo was unstoppable last night! It's sad that it was in a losing effort though.

Theb Lottery definitely LOOKS fixed, but there is no way to prove it.

QOTD: I want transparency... Funny how Ewing in 85 was it? Kyrie last year and then Hornets this year... I could probably make a list of suspected stuff if we looked at it close

Sad face about the lottery. Hopefully, Beal or MKG slip to 4.

QoTD: The NBA could stop all the talk about it being fixed by televising the actual ping pong ball draw. Lots of "convenient" lottery winners:
Knicks with Ewing, Magic getting first pick with worst chance of all lottery teams, Cavs getting Lebron, Bulls getting Rose, and now this.

It is a rather odd coincidence that the league-owned Hornets won the lottery. However, I don't think it's rigged. Dan Patrick was saying this morning that members of the media are allowed in the room for the bingo ball bonanza. If they suspected shenanigans I'm sure we'd hear about it.

QOTD: Oh, the Hornets won the NBA draft lottery? I should stop posing as a Hornets fan, I really don't care for the NBA much and it feels wrong to pledge allegiance to a team if I really don't follow them. As for being fixed... who knows. As they say, if there's a chance, it's possible...

Here is a good read on what happens in the ping pong room. http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/pos...pingpong-balls

LeBron went to Cleveland, his hometown and a small market team
D-Rose to Chicago, a Chicago native
Blake to the Clippers, years of mediocrity get a huge piece to help the crappy team in the biggest market in the world
Brand to Chicago, the season after MJ and crew left
Irving to Cleveland, after losing LeBron
Howard to Orlando, lost big pieces constantly
2001 1st pick to Washington, a favor returned to MJ from Stern
Ewing in 85, the first year of the lottery, announced i think part way through the season
the Hornets this year, i think part of the deal for the new owner to buy the team, he gets the 1st overall to keep the team in NO for as long as the NBA made in the contract
its clear to me that the nba gives the top pick(s) to the "smart" team choices
