Hope IS just a town in Arkansas

[Berry, Mark S]

Stop it. We need positive thoughts. It has been 20 years since
you-know-who. We've had nothing but bad luck since. It's only fitting
that the next Bill Russell break the curse. Positive thoughts ...

Great. So if history holds true, in a draft with two all-world talents
we'll
pick third. Love that lottery system. You watch - the Bulls, with the
Curry
pick, will get the #1 (don't get me wrong - if that happens I don't
fault
the Bulls for fleecing Isiah, but again a team least needing the better
player ends up getting him). Then whatever team again least needs the
next
pick (let's say the #10 worst team) will get #2. BUT we'll get "lucky"
and
beat out Memphis for that coveted third spot!!!!!!!! Then if Ainge
selects
Tyler Hansbrough (read: Eric Montross - the sequel) I will just shoot
myself.
 
How's that old Hee Haw song go?
"Doom, despair, and agony on me...aaaaaaahhhoooo.  If I didn't have bad
luck
I'd have no luck at all..."  
 
--------------------------------------
The record for the longest losing streak in the NBA is held by two lowly
teams, the 1995-96 Vancouver Grizzlies and the 1997-98 Denver Nuggets,
each
losing 23 games in a row.
 Our next eight games are:  Miami Heat, NJ Nets, @ Minnesota
Timberwolves,
Milwaukee Bucks, @ Sacramento Kings, @ Phoenix Suns, @ LA Lakers, @ Utah
Jazz.  We need to beat one of the first seven to avoid tying the record.
   
In the 1996 Draft, the Grizzlies picked third and chose Shareef Abdur
Rahim
after Philly selected Allen Iverson #1 and Toronto selected Marcus Camby
#2.
(Boston picked Antoine Walker  @ #6)
   
In 1998, Denver also picked third and chose Raef LaFrentz after the
Clippers
selected Michael Olowakandi #1 and Vancouver selected Mike Bibby #2.
(Boston picked Paul Pierce @ #10) - Asterix
