Low blow, Hinkie. Low blow

:D


LOOK AT THIS THUG. I FOR ONE WOULDN'T TAKE HIM WITH THE 60th pick. Now that James Michael Mccado? There is a young man with his head on straight...not this ruffian. The Cavs and Bucks should both pass for sure...shows poor judgement.

Damn he is working on Jordan post fadeaways and stabs fools in the club with Juicy? Missing out on him is gonna hurt.

But if we did get him by Hinkie magic our potential emaciated, skinny, malnourished future would be bright.

"Wiggins was at a Toronto nightclub with rapper Juicy J..."

As if I didn't want him enough. Juicy J in a front row seat at a 76ers game? THIS KID IS BETTER THAN JORDAN

Everyone in the lottery should pass on him if he's going to be the next OJ Mayo. :)

Already wrecking Jordan's entourage. Spike vs Juicy? One of those guys has an Oscar and it Ain't Spike Lee.

Hm, what time does the draft start? I have an international flight that I will *hopefully* be taking off AFTER the draft!

What I hope for...(semi-realistically)

Wiggins at 3
LAL trade, getting 7 and Nash for 39...pick Embiid
Gordon falls to 10
Houston trade, getting 26 (GRobinson), Lin, Asik, Moti for a second or two.
Ingles at 32

By now in a normal year I have a pretty solid mock draft of my own either in my head or actually written out, this year my head is spinning now like it was when Hinkie went mad dog wild spinning second round picks off here, there and everywhere last year. Beyond having players in some semi-defined tiers, this is the most unsure and almost confused I have been for a draft in a very long time, and never for a draft of this quality.

Two more nights, can't freaking wait!!!!!!

I really hope Hinkie robs some team like last year or pulls off some crazy 4 team trade and gets some high 1sts for 2nds and cap space.

What do you guys normally do on draft night? Any rituals? Do you watch at a bar, with friends, or alone? I think I will probably just watch at my place with anxious nerves while feverishly refreshing realgm haha. I get too tense watching the draft. And with all these picks and imminent moves I need to make sure my heart is healthy :)

Usually have a draft party with ridiculous drinking rules that cause us all to black out by the end of the 1st round. We then go out to bars. Let's just say last year I was kicked out of a bar and have a permanent scar above my eye because of the rules that were made before Sam Hinkies madness. Will be making the rules a little less severe this year so I don't get Hinkie'd again this year.

I know I'm setting myself up for a disappointment when I only have like 3 scenarios that will suit me on draft night, but so be it. Being a Sixers fan has sucked for a long time and it's about time we are elated for a change.

Make it happen, Hinkie.
