Live Draft Chat

Here are some highlights and even lowlights of our first ever Sherman Ave Block Party live event chat. It didn’t go as smoothly as we thought, but hopefully you will enjoy.

The First Pick inspires my Hunger of Course

ANDREW (7:37:06 PM): i'm gonna order a pizza

KRIS (7:37:12 PM): I just did

ANDREW (7:37:24 PM): great minds think alike

We like the Durant pick, just not the analysis

KRIS (7:45:27 PM): I love when Jay Bilas makes outlandish predictions, like Durant will lead the NBA in scoring

KRIS (7:45:43 PM): Last year he predicted Randy Foye would be rookie of the year an hour before he was drafted

JOSH (7:45:45 PM): that is a ridiculous quote, hard work beats talent when talent refuses to work hard

Horford is the pick, but could they have Amare instead?

ANDREW (7:48:44 PM): al horford

KRIS (7:48:56 PM): he is the best

ANDREW (7:49:03 PM): good nba body

KRIS (7:49:11 PM): good nba skills

JOSH (7:51:58 PM): gotta love how everyone disagrees with screamin a

JOSH (7:52:14 PM): they should have traded

KRIS (7:52:18 PM): who?

KRIS (7:52:22 PM): the Hawks

JOSH (7:52:24 PM): yeah

JOSH (7:52:35 PM): they could have packaged 3 and 11 for amare

The Great Yi Jianlian

KRIS (7:07 PM): Anyway, who thinks Yi can play?

ANDREW (8:07:08 PM): i think so

ANDREW (8:07:21 PM): haven't seen much on him

KRIS (8:07:30 PM): I think he is a poor mans Maciej Lampe

JOSH (8:07:39 PM): better than freddy weis

KRIS (8:07:44 PM): Obviously

Dick Vitale is on the screen

ANDREW (8:12:56 PM): dickie v. is big on seattle

JOSH (8:13:05 PM): vitales a moron

KRIS (8:13:10 PM): Dickie V is wondering why nobody has drafted JJ Redick yet

ANDREW (8:13:13 PM): ha ha

The Bulls are on the clock, and we disagree about their pick

ANDREW (8:14:05 PM): bulls need a low post threat

ANDREW (8:14:12 PM): i like the idea of hawes

ANDREW (8:14:40 PM): hawes adds a little bit more for the bulls

JOSH (8:14:45 PM): Noah is better fit for the bulls an energy guy on the offensive glass

KRIS (8:15:10 PM): they need scoring in the post, Noah is the exact same thing as Tyrus Thomas

ANDREW (8:15:42 PM): i'm just looking for another big man

KRIS (8:15:56 PM): you get Noah and you have the greatest shot blocking trio in the history of basketball, Thomas, Wallace and Noah but you cant make anything but a dunk

ANDREW (8:16:24 PM): yeah .. they are looking for more scoring down there

JOSH (8:16:27 PM): but with gordon deng duhon and heinrich you may not have to and you have superior athletic depth

KRIS (8:16:54 PM): The good thing about Noah to the Bulls would be for the league, gives them a marketable player in a big city

ANDREW (8:17:01 PM): that is true

ANDREW (8:17:05 PM): and has a little more game experience

Someone likes Rachel Nichols

KRIS (8:17:24 PM): I love the Rachel Nichols head bob

ANDREW (8:17:28 PM): ha ha

JOSH (8:17:50 PM): she is awesome

JOSH (8:17:58 PM): she can do the head bob anytime she wants

KRIS (8:18:03 PM): hey now

Stuart Scott, MORON

ANDREW (8:41:59 PM): not acie earl

ANDREW (8:42:01 PM): acie law

ANDREW (8:42:02 PM): lol

KRIS (8:42:03 PM): Nice Faux Pas idiot face

ANDREW (8:42:07 PM): acie earl

ANDREW (8:42:10 PM): former hawkeye

KRIS (8:42:24 PM): FIRE STU SCOTT

JOSH (8:42:42 PM): acie earl had one of the best high top boxes in ncaa history

KRIS (8:42:53 PM): good point, him and stacey king

ANDREW (8:42:55 PM): yes he did

KRIS (8:43:02 PM): and JR Weed

Philly has to take Thornton

ANDREW (8:43:42 PM): gotta be thornton here

JOSH (8:43:48 PM): who does thornton play like?

KRIS (8:43:54 PM): Like an Animal

KRIS (8:43:59 PM): Like Antawn Jamison

ANDREW (8:44:11 PM): i can't see this not being thornton

KRIS (8:44:12 PM): he dunks the ball, often from the low post

JOSH (8:45:15 PM): can he do that in the league at 6 7

KRIS (8:45:28 PM): Jamison isnt that big

JOSH (8:46:04 PM): what about thaddeus young?

ANDREW (8:46:38 PM): there you go

ANDREW (8:46:41 PM): predicted

KRIS (8:46:42 PM): Good call, shitty player

I hate the small school guy

JOSH (8:56:48 PM): u know anything about stuckey

ANDREW (8:57:01 PM): i don't know him at all

KRIS (8:57:02 PM): Billups is a free agent, but no other PG is good enough if

Crittendon is off the board

ANDREW (8:57:04 PM): eastern Washington

KRIS (8:57:08 PM): Stuckey blows

ANDREW (8:57:12 PM): lol

JOSH (8:57:24 PM): im not talking about the fast food joint

KRIS (8:57:34 PM): Draft Rodney Stuckey and then you will look 3 years down the

road and be like who the hell is Rodney Stuckey

Josh showing off his math skills

JOSH (9:06:16 PM): there are two gm's I trust implicitly paxson and dumars and whoever the gm is at san Antonio

Rodney Stuckey, quote of the year

JOSH (9:08:38 PM): great ad for eastern washington, "I didn’t qualify so eastern

washington is the school I had to go to." they will be printing that on the alumni donation

brochures

ANDREW (9:08:50 PM): lol

ANDREW (9:08:59 PM): "come play for us"

KRIS (9:09:33 PM): The coach loves it, he can get any gnome from the Northwest that doesn’t feel like doing schoolwork

The Knicks trade & the Nets pick

ANDREW (9:14:28 PM): spike lee likes that trade

JOSH (9:14:29 PM): great trade

KRIS (9:14:40 PM): That is the trade involving the worst players ever, but at least they get rid of Channing Frye

JOSH (9:14:50 PM): david lee is screwed now

KRIS (9:14:54 PM): Randolph will be hated because of his laziness

JOSH (9:15:27 PM): and his penchant for punching his teammates, tell rey rey to watch out

KRIS (9:15:48 PM): Rey and Randolph, we can have a celebrity death match

ANDREW (9:15:57 PM): the Knicks fans love it

JOSH (9:16:07 PM): who is lazier Randolph, Curry or James

KRIS (9:16:08 PM): This is an awful day, just like every day for Knicks fans

ANDREW (9:16:20 PM): aww

KRIS (9:16:32 PM): God dammit

ANDREW (9:16:33 PM): well there goes Williams

KRIS (9:16:42 PM): one time I want a guy on the Knicks and the fucking Nets pick him

KRIS (9:16:58 PM): That gives them a nice defensive presence in the post

KRIS (9:31:02 PM): Randolph will be arrested before Christmas

This broadcast sucks balls

KRIS (9:39:18 PM): Jim Gray, Screamin A, Vitale, Stu Scott, what an unbelievable broadcast

KRIS (9:39:42 PM): Seriously, can we just let ESPN hire EJ, Charles and Kenny for

the draft

Go get ‘em MJ

KRIS (9:42:57 PM): i watch this crap every year and I understand it less and less....and now my migraine is beginning to kick in as we get closer to the Knick’s pick

ANDREW (9:43:26 PM): Charlotte pick two

KRIS (9:44:08 PM): Okay, I will make a Bilas like definitive statement; If the Bobcats don’t take a 2 guard with this pick they need to dissolve the franchise, and by 2 guard I mean Byars, Almond, Tucker or Fernandez

KRIS (9:44:49 PM): they have to take someone who can make a jumpshot, have to have to have to

JOSH (9:45:00 PM): what about Dudley

KRIS (9:45:21 PM): no, they need a 2, they started Matt Carroll for 35 games last Season

ANDREW (9:45:39 PM): im guessing almond here

KRIS (9:46:12 PM): Actually 47 games, my god that is awful

ANDREW (9:46:46 PM): well I have to think almond or fernandez .. long shot on tucker, if they go for a 2

ANDREW (9:48:09 PM): they went forward, Jared Dudley

KRIS (9:48:11 PM): Worst pick ever

KRIS (9:48:16 PM): Worst

KRIS (9:48:18 PM): worst

KRIS (9:48:19 PM): worst

KRIS (9:48:21 PM): worst

JOSH (9:48:22 PM): I like that pick a lot

KRIS (9:48:22 PM): worst

KRIS (9:48:26 PM): awful

KRIS (9:48:29 PM): awful

JOSH (9:48:31 PM): and it saved us from having Isaiah take him

KRIS (9:48:39 PM): terrible

KRIS (9:49:11 PM): terrible, awful, worst.....that is why Jordan sucks as a GM

The Knicks are on the clock

KRIS (9:49:43 PM): Oh crap

ANDREW (9:49:46 PM): here you go Blas

ANDREW (9:49:56 PM): if you were Isaiah Thomas .. who would you choose?

KRIS (9:50:00 PM): who the hell are we going to take? I guess it has to be a guard now that we got Randolph

KRIS (9:50:11 PM): If I was Isaiah I would take my own life

JOSH (9:50:12 PM): guy from DePaul

ANDREW (9:50:18 PM): yeah that is true

KRIS (9:50:21 PM): I will snap if they take that useless bastard

ANDREW (9:50:21 PM): he does like the guy from DePaul

ANDREW (9:50:36 PM): Spike Lee giving it for Renaldo

KRIS (9:50:56 PM): I will pass out if they take Wilson Chandler

ANDREW (9:50:57 PM): that was the talk out of Chicago

KRIS (9:51:08 PM): oh please don’t be him, please, I would rather Jordan make my pick

ANDREW (9:51:19 PM): you don't want Wilson Chandler?

KRIS (9:51:57 PM):

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

KRIS (9:52:33 PM): why do I root for this team. They just traded for Zach fucking Randolph and now they are going to draft Wilson Chandler

KRIS (9:53:14 PM): jopjpd fbdddddddddddnmeriopjnmeop bp;'[ p;'[ p;'[ p;'[ p;'[ p;'[ p;'[p;'[ p;'[dbjopr j in m joklnjhioeriopgeru348t0‑4u890gj3 iopernj'qnebmj'olnernjmoperjpoer

ANDREW (9:53:27 PM): lol

JOSH (9:53:39 PM): 2nd team all big east in maybe the worst year ever in the big east

ANDREW (9:54:15 PM): does that help or hurt Balkman?

KRIS (9:54:50 PM): Kris DeBlasio is currently lying in pain on our living room floor

KRIS (9:54:58 PM): this is John Chappell taking over

ANDREW (9:55:20 PM): well .. they have Francis and Jamal Crawford ... Chap, tell Kris they Francis and Jamal at the one and the two and Marbury, three guards

JOSH (9:56:01 PM): Chap, you think they need another 6 8 guy who cant shoot

KRIS (9:56:06 PM): didn't they trade Francis?

JOSH (9:56:12 PM): how about a shooter

ANDREW (9:56:20 PM): I forgot about the trade

JOSH (9:56:25 PM): I guess they now have Dickau

KRIS (9:56:43 PM): (STILL CHAP)the Knicks need a lot of things all of which are not Wilson Chandler, I guess he fills the hole of mediocre big man they created by trading Channing Frye.

Well that is about all we had for the chat. Hopefully it provided some insight and even a laugh or two. I would like to try and do this again for some big events, maybe the first Monday night NFL game or something. By the way, I still hate what the Knicks did………..WILSON FUCKING CHANDLER!!!!!
