Should I go to the draft?

[KingSpeed]

It's in NJ this year and I've moved back to NYC. It dawned on me that I could go. Has anyone been to a draft before? Is it boring? Exciting? Do I need to buy a ticket in advance? Also, if I did go, anyone in the area want to go with me?

 

[VanillaGorilla]

If I was in the area I would definitely go. I love drafts.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I've gone when it was in MSG.

This is how it is, we basically waited at like 9am for tickets. long ass line and they run out so you should be there early. i think we probably waited 2 hours to get our tickets. then you have to return and line up again at like 5pm, wait an hour, then basically its a free for all for seats. that was quite some time ago (Yao Ming draft).

Honestly, I would want to be next to a computer and the TV to watch the draft as you don't get the rumors, breaking news, etc as fast.

 

[THE HCP]

I love how the Knick fans boo Stern and every pick they have ever made!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

the best part is cheering for the deputy commissioner when he takes over in round 2.

 

[LameR]

Only if you videotape Stephen A.

"Stephen aaaaaaa, Stephen aaaaaaaaaa, we're coming for you Stephen A!"

I think you should stay in school another year, at least. You are not ready

I bet he and HCP were always picked last in the pick up games.

I think it depends on what bar they were in at the time

Speaking of your new neck of the woods, I have a joke....

This guy and chick were really making out in the back seat of his car. She pulls back, looks at him with with a filthy look and moans, "Oh baby, kiss me where it smells". So he drove her to New Jersey.

LOL How is this not in the racist humor thread. It's sorta racist?

I don't know, KingSpeed. Don't the Blazers lose every game you go to? So if you go to the draft will their picks turn out to be busts? Better consider this carefully.

Then again, maybe we lose every game he goes to because the basketball God's are trying to tell him we need more talent? The draft might be perfect for him

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Don't go to the draft alone. If you can find someone to go with you, it will be fun. Otherwise, you get more info. on TV.

Obligatory NJ joke, especially since it's in Newark if I remember correctly:

[Mediocre Man]

In all honesty, I went to the 92' draft and was bored to death. It's obviously more fan friendly now, but I would just watch it on tv

With a tasty pile of wings a mile high and beverage to wash it all down.

Exactly. More comfort, better food, and the abilty to turn the channel during dead time (that last part could be my adhd talking though?

I've heard this joke numerous times, but replaced "New Jersey" with "Albany" and/or "Salem".

This was actually my first thought. It went along with, "Oh, please no..."

Me three. Don't do it, I'm begging you.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I agree.

We should change this thread title to, "The OFFICIAL: Dear God, Kingspeed, please don't go to the 2012 NBA Draft! thread"

Just sayin'.

but seriously, how bad could it be, the blazers have had the worst draft picks of any team in history. unless we draft hitler, i don't really see how it could get worse than it is for us.

But is Hitler a 'true' point guard?

I reviewed the official list of draft applicants, and Hitler was nowhere to be found on the list.

Where do you get your info from?

Please don't... you've seen first-hand your ability to jinx the Blazers at games... please don't jinx their draft too!

His Eurobasket scouting report: He's a great slashing penetrator, but has trouble against the larger Euros from Russia. Isn't really a team player, and can be a bit erratic in his decision-making. He'll have trouble handling American guards.

I also heard he was more "shoot first". I don't want him.

No kidding. I'd much prefer to draft Rommel if I'm drafting a Euro. Dude's a tank.
