    Just watched the video again of the 2007 draft lottery. Never in a million years did I think the Blazers would be in 5 years where they are right now. Watching the Thunder knock of the Lakers last night was what I thought the Blazers would be doing with Roy, Aldridge, and Oden. Very sad.

    I was firmly on the Joakim Noah and Al Horford bandwagon. Winning the lotto was not on my radar so neither were Oden or Durant.

    I also really liked Corey Brewer. One of the few times I've been wrong.

    if that was when the lottery was, I was down at The City sports bar with a few other friends. I had a great feeling we were going to be winning he lotto that season, I dunno why. Wish we hadn't. Noah would have been a hell of a consolation. oh well. here's hoping for a little of that same magic next week.

    I was resigned to having Corey Brewer on our team.

    I had no tv where I was living yet as I just moved in. Listened to the lottery streamed online. As soon as I heard that ATL was pulled out for the 3rd pick, I ran around the house yelling at the top of my lungs. Somehow, ( I still dont remember how I got there) I ended up in the front yard still yelling. I didnt realize until I got back inside that we even had the #1 pick. :sigh: I was certain that my years of sticking with it through heartbreak finally had paid off.

    That video is morbid -- witness when we made the Bowie/Jordan mistake again, only worse.

    I was working on NW 23rd for a drug launch and ducked into the Silver Dollar bar to watch it. About 10 people in there, and we went nuts. Then I had to work again until 9pm or so, but I got to listen to 1080am for their coverage all night.

    It may not have been exactly called the Silver Dollar, though. And I may not have worked until 9pm exactly. Possibly 5-20 people as well.

    I was killing it at the poker tables at Wild Horse Casino in Pendeleton. I was just in a zone that day. I was getting a little tired so I decided to go up to my room and take a nap. Went up, turned on the TV and watched us get the #1 pick. My gf and I started cheering and yelling! I'll never forget that day.

    i was sitting in my friends house smoking weed, they arent bball fans at all, but i made them watch it anyways.

    when the blazers won it, i freaked out smiling happy cheering and whistling the sweet song of the fancy free, and then i tried to explain what happened to my friends, and why it was so important (oden)

    they must have thought i was on acid or something, but they humored me with awkward smiles

    At least I can honestly say that I'm one of the handful of people to play with Greg Oden :grin:

    I was on a plane home from Hawaii. Had forgotten the lottery had happened. When I landed, I had a message from my brother saying that we had won. I immediately thought "Bowie/Jordan" all over again and even worse, with our NW rival.
