Imagine if the Nets took Kobe over Kittles? What about Josh Howard, Leandro Barbosa or Travis Outlaw over Zoran Planinic? Or how about Andray Blatche over Mile Illic or Danny Granger over Antoine Wright?

Am I done here? Haha there are so many what ifs and coulda shoulda wouldas that you just can't worry so much about.

I think it's stupid to do this because every team has their stupid draft picks. Lakers could have gotten Prince. Pistons could have gotten Melo, Bosh, Howard, Wade, or Kaman.

If D'Erlon's corps hadn't wandered back and forth between Quatres Bras and Ligny, we would be asking these questions in French.

Okay, not really, but it's still fun to speculate.

Basically.

Teams make mistakes, as this one seemingly was.

The band, or the drink? I can't see either as sufficient for victory.

Al was the first bigman off the bench when the Celts won the division his rookie year. He even put up a double double in the playoffs off the bench one of the games.

If the B-52's thing was a completely independent Hundred Days reference, holy ****. I mean, what are the odds?

what if Napoleans soldiers didn't have buttons on their jackets made out of tin when they invaded Russia in 1812?

there'd be a lot more Russians eating baguettes and crepes, i'll tell you what

Except you're missing the part where Al has already been into the playoffs and has won a playoff game unlike your boy Pau.
