Who's gonna be able to watch the NBA draft live?

[dvdbumpus]

If anyone was not aware, the NBA draft is Thursday, June 28th @ 7:30PM on ESPN. It's scheduled to end at midnight.


Who will be able to watch it? I know I made sure I didn't work that night, because honestly, how can you miss this huge night? It's like your wedding night - you certainly don't want to miss the action even though you've probably gone through it before plenty of times.

I'd like to point out that bobcatsplanet has a chat feature on the site and hopefully all the regulars and the new guys come join so we can discuss and hopefully rejoice in our awesome picks, or trades this year. So Ziggy and I invite you to join us, starting at 7PM (or earlier, depending on how little of a life you have: I'll probably be there at 3).

Drink some beer, eat some nachos and wings, annoy the hell outta your girlfriend, and watch the cats from the comfort of your couch (or chair for all you desktop people). We gotta support and believe!

count me in!
my class doesn't start at 10am anyways(i have a 12 hr. differential ET here, hahaha), so i'd be an early bird and bobcats cheerer come draft day! wohoo! :rock:

[Edrow]

I'll be here. Great idea! This way I can't embarass myself at Bobcats Arena if we draft someone I don't like.

It'll be 2.30 am here, and I'll probably be able to watch it. Last year NBATV international had showed it, I hope this year they will as well.

I may stay at chat room until draft hour, since I have TV at other room, I'll have to leave the room.

[Dead_Real]

I'll be in the chat

im gonna post a link on the Charlotte observer bobcats message board.... cause most of those guys are missing out on a much better board...

but i just signed up and it takes 48 freakin hours to register... ridiculous. so if any one has an account already go ahead and try and recruit some new dudes.

[Edrow]

I tried, but aparently being subscribed to Charlotte.com is different than the actual Observer message board, go figure.

Anyways, from reading as a "guest", it does seem like a bunch of those guys want to chat somewhere, as the consensus looks like most of them are from out of Charlotte or unavailable for the actual draft party at the arena.

... Who will be able to watch it? I know I made sure I didn't work that night, because honestly, how can you miss this huge night? ...
Gentlemen, this is what happens when you let the spouse plan the yearly family vacation. My wife has managed to plan our vacation for the week OF THE NBA DRAFT :banghead: :hypo: :dribble: :ranting: :chairshot: AAAGGGGHHHHH!!! I am trying my best to think of a way to sneak away from the family and activities Thursday night for about 3 hours to sit down and enjoy the draft
The only thing that I've been able to come up with so far is possibly faking a seizure... They have cable TV and internet access in the hospital, Right :g:
Folks, you have to help me come up with something. As a borderline psychotic draftnick and NBA fan, I must find a way to duck the family Thursday night and see this draft, I haven't missed one in about 15 years.
Any ideas?

That's an easy one, the oldest excuse in the book, and one that the ladies aren't hesitant about using: the goold old fashioned headache!!


As far as the draft goes, I'll be keeping up with the draft, but won't be available for the draft party until 10 or so. Hopefully, some of you guys will still be left around.

lf all else fails, you can always take them out to a sports bar, or a Damons that has TV's everywhere :wink:

Good move

Ziggy,

This is not a problem. May I suggest the following:

The "I think I'm going to have diarrhea" excuse.

The "I think I'm going to have diarrhea" excuse is well known for it's fantastic results upon being used when pulled over by a police officer, getting out of weddings, plays, reunions, etc.


Let's face it, the Misses would rather you stay home and not embarass her in front of her family and friends if you actually did get diarrhea. It's not like say, a headache where you can just pop some Advil and pretend everything is okay. Trust me, she'll want you to stay home.

My friend, your brilliance may have very possibly saved me from missing the draft on Thursday night. Diarrhea is genius :cheers1:

[Wallace15]

I should be watching the draft live. Unless something really important comes up. Which I highly doubt it will. So I should be in the chat on Draft day. Just the thought of possibly getting Brewer or Yi is making me really excited about this years Draft. Can't wait. :biggrin:

[cltblkhscoach]

Being a football coach, I'll be in the chat after 8, thanks to football practice at the local high school, but I plan to stay on as long as possible...hopefully I'll get home in time for #8

[Defense]

Well as you can tell I am very new here, and I am defanitely happy I finally found a Bobcats board that is worth more than a nickel... If I don't go to the Arena I will be on kicking it with yall...

[ziggy]

Welcome aboard Defense, Glad to have you join in on the fun :)

TY very much, hope to be around a lot and possibly blog fo yall if I get the chance... hopefully some more active members come and wake the place up a bit, kinda slow right now.

[TheBeagle]

Glad to have you here, D! Nice GW sig, too!!

[cltblkhscoach]

I have done my good deed for the week and mentioned Bobcats Planet in a few posts on Charlotte.com, hopefully that will bring a few more diehards.

[timang]

hey d, welcome aboard!
i'm absolutely digging the sig btw, where'd you get that?

thanks man, ive been trying... cause they have some good posters over there, i just cant stand the thought of wasting good banter on a crap newspaper (sports page at least) like that.
however i cant post for like 2 days and now i cant get a code... its a racket.

[cltblkhscoach]

Yeah Mustachio, I've had an account over there for a while, and they changed the signup procedures a couple of months ago, I know a couple of guys over there said they were having trouble getting registered over here though. A couple of them said they wanted to join us in the chat for the draft, hopefully they can get on board by then.

I just managed to switch nights at work so I'll be able to watch it on tv. It'll be the first one I've got to watch, beer and wings are already ordered!!

Made it, if your talking about my GW sig, I made that one also. That is another thing I am hoping to end up doing for the site, so wait a little bit and there should be some to go around.
