As I was watching the NBA draft lottery Thursday night, I decided to take down some of my thoughts Bill Simmons style from ESPN. Here is what I came up with...

7:39pm - We’re reminded by ESPN that Mike Dunleavy is the only combo coach/GM in the NBA. We understand why no one else has tried it. Clippers take Blake Griffin. I’ve got 5 to 1 odds, he and Eric Gordon get taken out final destination style after their first all-star game.

7:41pm - Jay Bilas says, “Blake Griffin just keeps playing, and playing, and playing.” Who is he Forrest Gump?

7:42pm - Nice purple shirt Blake. He’s not worried about the past of the Clippers…Right…

7:47pm - The Grizzlies take Hasheem Thabeet. We’re informed he is the first NBA player from Tanzania. The Toronto Raptors immediately send a scout there to further monopolize their grip on international players.

7:50pm - Thabeet informs us that the biggest difference between soccer and basketball is playing with your hands and stuff. Thanks Hasheem.

7:52pm - The Thunder take James Harden out of Arizona State. Everyone and their mom starts calling the Kings to try and get Ricky Rubio.

7:57pm - The Kings select Tyreke Evans. Minny creams their shorts and screams like school girls. They were considering trading up to the number 2 pick for Rubio, now they get him at 5. Ok, pick for Sacto, but I’d have at least taken Rubio and held him hostage.

8:03pm - The T-Wolves select Rubio here. Great value for the Wolves. Oh come on you can’t send in the 6th pick too? Bastards.

8:11pm - The T-Wolves take my man Jonny Flynn at number 6 which makes me say what the hell? There has to be a trade coming. Flynn+something for Tyreke Evans? Sacto took Evans to hold him hostage? Hmmm…

8:16pm - The Warriors take Curry at 7. Really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. I know Nellie loves shooters, maybe the Warriors are trying to keep him from New York and get some added value?

8:21pm - The Knicks select Jordan Hill at 8. I’d expect to see all sorts of trades going down here soon.

8:27pm - The Raptors take DeRozan at 9. Great pick up for the Raptors.

8:29pm - Pacers Digest just died. Crap.

8:33pm - The Bucks select Brandon Jennings at 10th. Wow, a lot higher then he was expected to go. I’m officially kind of excited that the Pacers might get Jrue Holiday.

8:38pm - And New Jersey/Brooklyn takes Terrence Williams. Pretty good fit now that they shipped out Vince Carter, they need some help on the wings. However, Williams is a horrible shooter to say the least.

8:45pm - The Bobkitties take hometown guy Gerald Henderson. Ok, Bird better take Holiday here. He is BPA and even if we don’t keep him he can bring added value.

8:50pm - My hometown Indiana Pacers select, Tyler Hansbrough. Vomit. Seriously, vomit everywhere. I can’t even control this. Horrible, horrible pick. I’m depressed. I don’t care if he makes ten all-star teams I look like an idiot. I hate this pick.

8:55pm - Final pick of the lotto and of my live coverage tonight, the Suns select Earl Clark. Kind of a surprise, but he is very athletic and could thrive in the up tempo system. Oh Brandon Jennings just showed up, good job there big fella.
