Boston/Memphis: "My motto, fuck lotto."

The doofy grin on Brandon Roy pretty much sums up the Trail Blazer's lottery pick number on Tuesday night. With a 5.3% chance of landing the No.1 draft pick, Portland sure defined the meaning of "lottery" pick. Notable No.1 picks include Patrick Ewing, Shaq: the Big Aristotle himself, and Timothy Duncan.

Let's jump into the Delorian and head back to the 1984 NBA Draft. With the No.2 pick, the Jail Blazers picked Sam Bowie, an at the time, logical selection, chosen to fill the "big man" void in their lineup. Considered by many to be one of the biggest busts in NBA history, will they make the same mistake in choosing Greg Oden, over Kevin Durant?

I've got a feeling that Oden is going to be looking like he's going to be on his death bed by his fifth year in the league. In that time, Durant will blossom to be one the games best. How funny would that shit be? Choosing two lottery busts for the very same reason. LMAO! You never know.


I do hope the Blazers choose Oden though. And not for the reason mentioned above. My boy Jarrett Jack is going to run shit in the NBA next year, alongside Oden and Roy. They also got to get rid of anti-team player duo of Zach Randolph and Darius Miles while they're at it. Yup!

A.C. Milan vs. Liverpool in the Champions League Final today. Even though I hate both teams, I'm pulling for Milan in this one.

Vegas in five days son!
