Tweet of the Day: Surprise, Surprise; Cleveland Wins … AGAIN!

by

Tuesday night the NBA held its Draft Lottery to determine the top three picks in the forthcoming draft.

Somehow, someway — conspiracy theorists have at it — the Cleveland Cavaliers won the top overall pick with only a 1.7-percent chance at it. This makes the second consecutive year that Dan Gilbert’s team has won the lottery, third time in the past four years.

Last year, Cleveland tried to be cute by drafting Anthony Bennett at the top overall position, even though he was projected in the bottom of the top-10. With this year’s draft being much deeper, the odds of somehow managing to fail in drafting a top tier player are far less significant. Though, if they somehow managed to throw the league a curveball and select an inferior player at No. 1 overall, it would be quite hilarious. That they even got the top pick had many players around the league chiming in on Twitter.

  1. How does such a carpetbagging scumbag keep robbing the City of Cleveland blind, and not just with the Cavaliers, and yet still always end up making out like a bandit? It’s unbelievable.

    • That’s a question better left to the conspiracy theorists. I find it hard to imagine that a team could get so lucky twice in a row, both times with such ridiculously low odds, but there’s no evidence to prove wrongdoing, so the smoke doesn’t lead to a fire (at least one we can see) in this case.
