- I take back what I said yesterday about trading the top 2 picks. I probably would have taken Oden #1, and would also have taken Durant. Not sure what I was thinking. Maybe that vicoden wasn't for me. I still don't think Oden will be a superstar the likes of Chamberlin or Jabbar, but he should be around for a loooong time - barring injury.
- I don't really have a team in the NBA, but Chicago probably comes as close as anybody. I actually liked their picks. I didn't really care for Noah in college, but I think he will be good for pro ball - kind of like Magic Johnson. The NBA needs more fun (I could say less Stern, but I might get fined). I also liked the Bull's 2nd rounder - Aaron Gray. Neither Noah or Gray are the scorer that they needed inside, but they at least added some bulk.
- I think Portland and Seattle had to have the best draft of anybody. Not just #'s 1 and 2, but the most picks as well - other than Philly, who doesn't have a clue. I personally like teams that build through the draft. That's what Chicago has done; Utah seems to do it. But what to I know...
- I would like to be a Pacers fan - since I only live 90 minutes away - but... Geez, are there any Pacer's fans?? Nothing against Larry Bird... he might be a nice guy (though I've heard otherwise), but I think he needs to find another hobby.

Draft thoughts
I know... I'm probably the only person who gives a crap about the NBA anymore. My wife is so wonderful that she let me watch the entire first round on TV last night. Though she kept asking why it kept getting blurry (not sure what that was all about). Anyway... while trying to decide if I should mow the tops of the weeds or not; and simmering over some issues I don't really care to share at the moment... here are my initial thoughts on the draft:

As a Detroit fan (Hey, they started in Fort Wayne you know.) I am always nervous about the draft. Dumars can pick complete busts and then turn around and pick a gem or two. I'll have to wait and see. I can't believe Jane was stuck on the couch and let you watch the draft. From this day forward that will be my reply whenever you tell me life sucks.
Well.... but she slept most of the time. So it doesn't negate my 'life sucks' ranting.
Hey, and be sure to tell YOUR wife "thanks" for the cookies. They were incredible. And were even still warm when she brought them! 'preciate it!
