Bull(s)hit!

NBA Draft. 2008. Like the other things mentioned in this page, was a sad event. An event where for a majority of us, undeserving people yearning for luck to turn us into overnight winners, it was a slap across the face. God used that little mercy he leaves aside for our lot, that little mercy each year, to make those left out comfortable in hope, he used it completely on the Bulls. The Bulls. And the Heat. The Bulls, well our lot can at least identify with them, and we can feel happy about the fact that at least it was one of us. The Bulls were genuinely bad. And apparently they were not happy with how bad they were, and they worked extra hard for that luck they earned on the night of the Draft. I mean, who in their right mind would trade for Larry Bruise and Drew Badden? What were they thinking? So, the luck the Bulls got really does not disappoint me. For committing suicide they perhaps deserved this extra life. But it is the Heat that made this event SAD!!

The Miami Heat!!!

The Heat. Led by a Dwyane "I dont know what to do with this ball but I can be flashy" Wade, whom the refs have learned to love, and have become so possessive of him, that they blow their shrill whistles when anyone steps on the same court as he does, with Big Daddy, Shaq, the most dominant center of our generation, arguably, to help him. The scape goat of the fiasco called 2007-08 Miami "We Hate Winning" Heat, led by Dwyane "The Flash" Wade. Only Shaq knew what he completely meant when he gave this disaster that name. Dwyane "The Flash(in a pan)" Wade. Still the Heat were lucky to get an All Star and arguably, one of the most versatile players in the league, in Shawn Marion. Yet the Heat pledged to remain devoted to their season pledge. We hate winning.

Now a bit about our lot. Us undeserving people who yearn for that luck, that luck to change our lives for the better. We work hard to be this bad! We do! Hence the luck the Bulls got on Draft night does not disappoint me. Its the Heat. With the talent, on that team, they had no business having that shocker they called their regular season. And instead of punishing them for their carelessness, for punishing Wade, the guy can play after all, for being so indifferent to the team's performance, inexcusable for a player once considered a possible successor to the seat left vacant by His Airness, this league, this league that loves to worship its "stars" gifts him with another opportunity in the form of a world class talent. No.2 pick on Draft Night. Draft rights to Beasley/Rose. To leap frog a team that just did not care enough about winning, but were always capable, into legitimate championship contenders.

Sad Day!!
