    I agree that our brains want to see patterns, and regardless of the outcome, the conspiracy-minded amongst us would have been able to find something to support their preconceptions.

    I don't think he was kidding at all. Yeah, he said it with a smile and a chuckle, but it was the kind that you use when you want to say something that you believe, but know would piss people off if you said it completely seriously.

    Isn't that the same logic we used when we passed on D. Will and Chris Paul because we had selected Telfair the year before?

    If it were rigged, I don't see how the NBA would have let the Blazers and Sonics win the lottery during one of the hottest drafts of the decade (Durant/Oden). And leave it to the FailBlazers to make the wrong move.

    I can see why he'd be mad. They tanked it so hard at the end of the season to undercut Cleveland, and Cleveland got it anyway. I'm sure he's gnashing his teeth.
