NBA Draft/Ramblings about the rest of the league/Draft Lotto

I'm really wondering when we'll finally get our break. It should be all the sweeter when we do, but man....this is taxing.

See, I love the Colts, but not in the same way I love the Pacers. Basketball is by far my favorite sport, and the Pacers were my first love. I have been with them for the longest, Reggie Miller will forever be a God in my eyes, and it kills me to see them like this. It legitimately makes me mad that fans stopped coming to games after so many great years the team has given to the city. It makes me even madder that the Bulls (with odds only slightly better than ours) got the top pick in the draft when A) they werent that bad to begin with B) they were given two charity lottery picks from the Knicks when they were in the playoffs C) The 1998 ECF loss to the Bulls actually made me cry D) They won 6 f#^&#@% titles in the 90s. We havent won any. Come on basketball Gods, this is the basketball state!

Must admit it is quite hard to swallow this lottery, anyone but the bulls would have been just peachy, even the bucks would've been better. Here's hoping other teams make some bad choices and the player with the best potential slips to us. Time for a little draft day/ offseason trade magic me thinks.
Who knows maybe the Bulls will assign Isiah Thomas as their new coach/gm and he'll draft Robin Lopez no.1 for his "potential" :pray:

Hey i can dream can't i........

I couldn't have said it better. Although, i'm not a Colts fan, i do love other sports and other sports teams (Cubs, Bills and Sabres) however, none of them like the Pacers. I love basketball and it is my passion my entire life. I don't know why, i've just always loved this game even though i'm not great at it. Miller is my idol and my god. It kills me for him not to have a ring and it kills me seeing the Pacers they are the way they are now.

And Hoosiers is my favorite movie of all time. lol
