I am beginning to think following an NBA team that does not have a superstar is utterly foolish and might as well be like PLAYING THE LOTTERY.
Seriously, that's what it has become about when there are few real stars available in the draft, and even then you dunno what could happen...
The Bulls got a raw deal with Jay Williams
Can't miss-ers like Oden? Wait and see.
I'm trying to have "perspective" but, honestly, this one hurts, even if "the odds" were against us. THE ODDS WERE AGAINST EVERYONE, and why the lotto is possibly less fair than other systems. How about a better system? With all of the brain power that exists we can't figure out something else? How about if you win the lotto you have some other limitations based on other factors? Maybe a combo of games lost, won, conference record, out of conference record, etc. Something less arbitrary that gives a team that is basically good like the Bulls an IMPOSSIBLE time of winning, but also makes sure that teams that tank can't win. If that system is what is in place it certainly hasn't been working very wel.
San Antonio got VERY luck with Duncan, and now the Bulls who were a top East team had a bad year and now get the #1 pick? Miami tanks and gets #2 after winning a title and having a superstar?
Justice is total mythology.
KARMA?
WHat did the Bulls do that exactly deserved them to get KARMA versus Knick fans who have been languishing as the joke of the NBA for almost a decade, and even when we had a good team were constantly hated on for multiple reasons, and they won 6 titles with Jordan to our ZERO?
We ain't the owners of the team, and we don't even have democratic control of who is in charge. We have to HOPE that they do the right thing.
What a joke it is to root for a NBA team.
Was at the pathetic Yankee game and called a friend to have them let me know what was up with the lotto. Great news...who-hooo...
btw, the I am also realizing how out-of-date baseball is, and extraordinarily WHITE, SUBURBAN, BORING, B.S. the YANKEES are...no wonder it's in trouble, and so are the Yanks, IMHO, if not for Dominicans and Japanese. Young Americans are not feeling baseball, and being at the game again tonight reminded me why, as a LONG TIME HARDCORE YANKEE FAN. Sorry if that offends folks, but if I have to hear GOD BLESS AMERICA AND YMCA AGAIN AT A YANKEE GAME I'M GONNA GO POSTAL.
I will go to one last game on my B-Day but after that I think I'm done with baseball. The crowd is just not representative of NYC (although NYC is becoming increasingly homogenized, Las-Vegasified, or in other words more representative of an episode of Friends and Sex and The City than Taxi, Good Times, or Taxi Driver...and why I am most likely outta here by the end of the year), and it's just awful. Sure losing hurts, but I don't even care if the Yanks win now, so much, and maybe hearing the news that we know had something like a 45% chance of happening shouldn't surprise me, but a team with a 1.7% chance of winning and a team that has the ability to win shouldn't either?
Bulls and Miami are now slated for top tier status.
Yeah, justice in the NBA sure exists.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
