Live-blog of The NBA Draft Lottery (or, Are the Gods fair?)

By rahat huq | May 18, 2010 at 10:24 am

I will tell you a secret.  It has been for this night that I have patiently waited since “The News” broke last summer.  A chance for a new beginning of sorts…through cosmic means. It is on this night wherein which we will find if there exists true justice in the basketball world.  It is on this coming hour that we will discover the true nature of the Gods – whether they be cruel or benevolent in their bounty.

For truly, has any franchise suffered more?  Have any fans endured more wrath than you who stand beside me?  The Houston Rockets should not be punished for ingenuity, with Morey making the most of a bad situation, but killing our odds [at the top pick.]

If there truly exists some justice and order, tonight the Basketball Gods will smile upon us and grant us glad tiding.

Not bothering to watch until 8:23 at least. Such a tease.

I got a pretty good feeling about this.
I won't say I have the same feeling of certainty & relief that New Jersey fans rightfully feel in these fateful minutes, but I think we'll be just fine.
In the event some miraculous things happen for Houston at this lottery, I just know that more people are going to seriously start investigating if Houston's GM is a Jedi Master.
