Introduction and NBA Draft Preview

After some deep thought, I decided to start my own blog. After some more deep thought, and a delicious naked tender wrap, I decided on a blog name. Because nothing defines Cavalier basketball more than the signature call of Joe Tait himself.

OK, nothing defines Cavalier basketball more than Joe Tait and ineptitude. Dan, Danny, Mike, and Lebron are fixing that latter bit.

To kick the blog off, I'll go forth and start with my preview of the NBA draft. No, nothing like repeating Derrick Rose's assist per game totals, Michael Beasley's height, or how many baklava Kosta Koufos can eat in one setting. No, instead I'll give you what you can fearlessly expect from the 2008 NBA Draft:

- One point five seconds after he steps onto the stage, Derrick Rose will suddenly remember who he's been drafted by. David Stern, however, will have his family held by gunpoint, preventing his escape from either the stage or Chicago.

- Pat Riley, still sore over losing the Rose sweepstakes, swaps picks with the Knicks. Mike D'Antoni doubles on his Excedrin supply. Dwayne Wade suggests O.J. Mayo put Sir Charles on his Fav Five, then quietly buries his own phone somewhere underneath Star Jones.

- Kevin McHale continues to draft by NCAA tourney video, though Stern is forced to reject his draft pick as Stephen Curry didn't declare his eligibility.

- Rick Sund inagurates his tenure as Hawks' GM by trading Josh Smith, Josh Childress, and Acie Law for draft picks he turns into Koufos and both Lopez brothers. The laughter of bittersweet Sonics' fans can be heard clear from Spokane.

- Kelvin Prichett makes a draft pick. Pundits proclaim it a genius move. The Trailblazers fail to make the playoffs next season.

- Someone picks Chris Douglas-Roberts before Danny Ferry can claim him. I tend to my sorrows with another Dortmunder Gold.
