Unscientific NBA Predictions
Let me make a crazy prediction. In tonight’s NBA Draft Lottery, the ping pong balls will fall the way of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Philadelphia 76ers will happily take the second pick.
Statistically, this is very unlikely.
But it’s just a hunch. I’d like to see a Garnett/Oden pairing revitalize basketball in Minneapolis, and whoever gets Durant should be fun to watch. If I’m wrong, I’ll probably just delete this post.
[UPDATE (9:10pm): So much for hunches. I'm happy for both Portland and Seattle. I have a nonsensical admiration for the Pacific Northwest despite never being within 400 miles of the region.]
