I think they love the Cavs fans and how much they "care", maybe they didn't deserve the "Decision Show"... but what do I know.

2008: Bulls (1.9%)... bring in the #1 pick to draft the hometown kid.
2009: Clippers (third best odds)... big market with little success brings in the #1 pick.
2010: Wizards (10.3%)... another big market, need a PG and a face to take over since Gil tarnished the franchise.
2011: Cavaliers (2.8%)... one year after they lose the hometown hero.

Just seems weird. You have three BIG markets swooping in and getting the #1 pick, and then the Cavs who Lebron James supposedly "wronged".. and that's all in the past 4 years.

I'm not bold enough to say it's rigged, but I can't ignore some of these things.

I absolutely believe these three were fixed.

tonight? eh. no. this draft is pointless to fix in the first place, for anyone.

Ferdette goes 3 huh? #notsurprised

 

[duba169]

that swinging arms +@!! that durant does is so damn annoying. i can't stand it

Already hearing from sources that Minnesota has told people they're very open to moving No. 2 pick. Kahn wants veteran help ... 27 minutes ago via Twitter for Mac

!@% is turtle-head Westbrook doing?

 

[acidicality]

I don't think the draft was fixed, but given the way the Cavs got shafted last year and the fact they bought his son out there, it had all the makings of a "feel-good story", it's hard not to feel it might be rigged...

 

[osh kosh bosh]

This dude Dirk, IMO he's the best scorer in the league. You can't stop him. Nobody can.

@mdotbrown: Listening to Magic's analysis is like finding out Einstein couldn't multiply.  

@netw3rk: "He's not being aggressive enough but also he's trying to do much & he's not finding Durant but he's gotta look for his shot"

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Kendrick Perkins aint got a chance in hell at guarding Dirk.

 

[bangdak]

Those impressions were pretty spot on

Remember a few weeks back when I said if Dirk keeps this up, he's there in the Malone & Barkely discussion? Well, yea, he's there...

And he'll end up right up there with them in All-Time scoring.

You're contending that Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and Chicago aren't big markets?
