Any of you Seattle folks (Griff? Steve?) have a desire to get together somewhere to watch it? Then we could do a big group hug after peeling ourselves off the floor.
SH*T my drawers and clean myself up with a Starbucks Napkin. Good luck tonight Sonics, My the curse of Mutumbo kissing the basketball on OUR home court be lifted tonight!
Prepare for all the “sources out of New York” who claim we are wiling to trade the #1 pick in a three way trade for a package of Adam Morrison, Nate Robinson and Jamal Crawfor…
“SH*T my drawers and clean myself up with a Starbucks Napkin. Good luck tonight Sonics, My the curse of Mutumbo kissing the basketball on OUR home court be lifted tonight!”
That about sums it up for me.
Damn sure Clay Bennett doesn’t deserve any good luck or good karma, but maybe we will get the pick in spite of the peckerhead.
agreed joe newell. bennett doesnt deserve any karma.
so the question is this. who is this lottery for? us or kc/okc? if it’s not for us (which looks to be the case), I’m rooting for the 8th pick. It is going to hurt bad enough to lose our team. But it would sting that much more to lose our beloved team right after we got Oden or Durant.
“Seattle deserves a break because it’s a good basketball city that’s being held hostage by some latte-drinking billionaire dipwad who sold the team to the ultra-conservative Oklahoma hick with no soul.”
Bill simons picking us as the team that built up the most karma to get a top 2 pick… i just hope that he didn’t jinx us and make us lose the karma. In fact, that’s probably why he didn’t pick his celtics #1– not because he didn’t want to look biased, he just didn’t want to jinx his team. He’s so superstitious that he probably thought exactly that… god forbid if he had picked his celts #1 and they got #3…. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/070522&sportCat=nba

May 22nd, 2007 at 9:30 am
…immediately stop rooting for this team. I prefer the feeling of rooting for a team that seems hopless and cursed…
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:30 am
…but I guess I’d still have the Mariners
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:42 am
Freak the funk out!!!!!
BTW, I’m in love with Oden.
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:47 am
Funk Draft!!
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:47 am
I will hug all four of my kids and tell them that I love them….just not as much as I love Greg Oden.
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:48 am

Start speculating on which young centers they are going to trade and for whom - and praying it is not Sene.
May 22nd, 2007 at 10:28 am
I’ll stop thinking about Clay Bennett… for a day or two.

May 22nd, 2007 at 10:37 am
wish we got #2 because I don’t know who to take at #1!!! I love Durant , but Oden fits our needs more
May 22nd, 2007 at 10:47 am
I will pray that they don’t blow it by NOT drafting Oden.
I can see it now
“We have a good young core of centers, and Robert Swift is returning from injury…”
May 22nd, 2007 at 10:52 am
…have flashbacks of the good ol’ days of Payton and Kemp….
May 22nd, 2007 at 10:58 am
Go Bill Simmons! Takes alot of balls considering how much he wants Boston to win
May 22nd, 2007 at 11:03 am
…wake up. At least that’s what happened the last time the Sonics won the lottery (2 nights ago.)
But if it actually happens, I imagine I’ll be apologizing to my wife for scaring our daughter by screaming and dancing around like a madman.
May 22nd, 2007 at 11:24 am
SH*T my drawers and clean myself up with a Starbucks Napkin. Good luck tonight Sonics, My the curse of Mutumbo kissing the basketball on OUR home court be lifted tonight!

“MAY” that is!
May 22nd, 2007 at 11:35 am
Laugh at Danny Ainge for being shut out of the top spot again despite his desperate attempts at tanking.
May 22nd, 2007 at 11:36 am
Go buy a lottery ticket because the odds must be good there as well.
May 22nd, 2007 at 11:40 am
…Laugh when they draft a center for the fourth year in a row.
May 22nd, 2007 at 11:42 am
Imagine the headline for the Seattle Times the day after the draft:
“Sonics Draft Local Legend Spencer Hawes with First Pick”
May 22nd, 2007 at 11:43 am
Prepare for all the “sources out of New York” who claim we are wiling to trade the #1 pick in a three way trade for a package of Adam Morrison, Nate Robinson and Jamal Crawfor…
May 22nd, 2007 at 12:20 pm
Wonder why we wasted it on the Chinese guy.
May 22nd, 2007 at 12:27 pm
I’ll buy season tickets if we get #1 or #2.
May 22nd, 2007 at 12:30 pm
begin expecting armageddon…..
May 22nd, 2007 at 12:50 pm
I’ll wonder if, in another way to avoid contact with the public, they don’t have a draft party.
May 22nd, 2007 at 1:18 pm
…pray that they draft Oden, package Shard + one of the PGs + one of the bigs + a future pick to Utah for Deron Williams and Andrei Kirilenko
May 22nd, 2007 at 1:19 pm
Trade the pick to # 2 for another top pick. Re-Sign R. LewisDraft Conley and Durant and play a Pheonix Suns style of ball.
May 22nd, 2007 at 1:29 pm
…intially be excited up until coming to the realization that Oden/Durant will be winning championships in Kansas City.
May 22nd, 2007 at 1:30 pm
…soil my pants.
May 22nd, 2007 at 1:39 pm
Question…
If we did win the #1 pick. What would it take for you to trade that…is there a package out there that would make you consider making a trade??
***I know this won’t happen…but just wondering how high of a value people think this pick is worth***
May 22nd, 2007 at 1:40 pm
There will be a draft party. Not sure what the team is planning however….
May 22nd, 2007 at 1:45 pm
“What would it take for you to trade that…is there a package out there that would make you consider making a trade??”
There’s nothing out there that could pry either pick away from me. No chance that I’d deal #1 for #2 and anything either.
May 22nd, 2007 at 1:45 pm
“SH*T my drawers and clean myself up with a Starbucks Napkin. Good luck tonight Sonics, My the curse of Mutumbo kissing the basketball on OUR home court be lifted tonight!”

May 22nd, 2007 at 2:14 pm
Start believing, hope that there is a better management team and probably buy season tickets!!
May 22nd, 2007 at 2:21 pm
I’m with you there, Larry.
#8 would be perfect karma for Bennett.
Loved the Starbucks napkin line, Elvis!
May 22nd, 2007 at 3:59 pm
Start believing in karma.
Great line from Bill Simmons ESPN.com today:
“Seattle deserves a break because it’s a good basketball city that’s being held hostage by some latte-drinking billionaire dipwad who sold the team to the ultra-conservative Oklahoma hick with no soul.”

May 22nd, 2007 at 6:01 pm
Hey. What can we get for Shard in a S&T? Could we get another lotter pick?
May 22nd, 2007 at 6:02 pm
Gotta say that’s the best news all day.
I was fuming after reading the Bennett - KC story.
May 22nd, 2007 at 6:05 pm
At least it’s pretty darn obvious who we should be drafting at #2. Always bet green brought the luck…
May 22nd, 2007 at 6:08 pm
