Greg Oden is probably a Trailblazer

Our heart jumped more when the Celtics came out of that envelope at #5 than at any time during the Cavaliers playoff run so far.

Wow.

There’s really not all that much one can say except, “Negative 439 Tommy Points to Mr. Karma!”

We can’t even make fun of those poor fans – pick #5 is a total toss-up, and while most years it’s not a bad place to be, when you had the second worst record in the NBA and basically were putting your entire future on getting Oden or Durant…

Here’s the order:

1-Portland
2-Seattle
3-Atlanta
4-Memphis
5-Boston
6-Milwaukee
7-Minnesota
8-Charlotte
9-Chicago (via New York)
10-Sacramento
11-Atlanta (via Indiana)
12-Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers
13-New Orleans
14-LA Clippers

Interesting scenario in Seattle, whose rootin-tootin owners are looking to move and such. Who knows where Kevin Durant ends up actually living, but he’s probably gonna be a SuperSonic.

Also, ATL’s got two high picks in a deep draft, which means they can pass on two more point guards in order to get two more small forwards.

Look out for Portland next year, eh? Congrats to TrueHoop Henry, who attended the proceedings.

UPDATE: We got around to playing around with that “Comic Life” program after the Lottery – our results, after the proverbial jump.

(Be kind – the program’s got some nice features, but we’re not sure we can’t do the same type of stuff in Photoshop a little cleaner, and just as quickly. Of course, this was the first time we tried it. Hell, we never do the comics anymore, anyway, right?)
