It was a long long season for many lowly NBA franchises. Struggling for wins, struggling to fill the seats and to maintain relevance in a crowded sports market.
And it was a long long season for the diehard fans of these lowly franchises. The good people of Sacramento, cheering for those hapless Kings, are waiting.... Those 'against the grain' Clippers fans are waiting and the weary Wizard fans are waiting.
All waiting for tonight when the envelopes are opened one by one and each lottery bound franchise learns their fate, their future. Tonight we find out the likely destination of Blake Griffin, the assumed number one pick. Tonight, when viewed from the distance of ten years, will be the night when fortunes are won and lost.
Will there be a surprise in the top three picks. Will the ping pong balls in this lottery dance in favor of the lowest, lamest franchises or will there be some unsets. Tonight I'll be watching as will Blake Griffin and soon we'll all know which teams have won and lost.
Who will fate favor? Who will chance reward? In about ten hours we find out!
