The game is in Boston and historically speaking LA hasn't done very well in Beantown. Boston wins Game 5 and this will set up a very electric Game 7.
Wow, LAL can't rebound to save their lives today.
Kwame Brown is my hero.
I think Washington doesn't want to lay another "Kwame Brown" egg with John Wall. Here's an idea. Draft Evan Turner and screw Philly over. Turner is more NBA ready than Wall is, and Wall may not have an upside. This might be how good he's playing. They'll (meaning Philly) pass on Wall at Number 2 because of Holliday, (Cousins or Favors would go #2 if Turner goes #1) and Prokorov gets his man, at Pick Number 3, being John Wall.
(And everyone knows Brown is a bad Number 1 pick, but Sam Bowie is the worst pick of all time because Portland took him ahead of, that's right, Michael Jordan himself.)

Boston will be playing with a chip on their shoulder. And after how they played in Game 6, why wouldn't you want to play with a chip on your shoulder?
I hoping for everyone to show up on Thursday, an awesome game, Kobe, Gasol, Bynum, Garnett, Pierce, Rondo, and Allen all playing well could make a hell of a game. I want 10 seconds left game tied, Boston Ball in 2OT.... Allen for the win....
The crowd is silent.
The benches will have no factor, the starters playing most of the game.

No, just no. John Wall is the clear choice, and Washington management has already voiced that they will be selecting him. The difference between the picks in Favors and Turner is very slim. Both of them are inter-changable 2nd and 3rd picks. John Wall is projected to go 1st on almost all draft boards, and rightfully so. Why would they select Turner just because Wall is considered the number one pick...
And even if they were going to select Turner, they'd trade the pick instead of just drafting Turner at number one, since no one is stupid enough to pass on Wall.
Wall may not have upside? That was almost laughable. There's a reason he's projected number one on every mock draft. He's projected to be very, very good.
There is no way that Cousins goes in the top 3. There are way too many question marks, and his weight is beginning to be an issue for a lot of GMs. It is also projected on a lot of mock drafts that Cousins could even fall to number seven, my team, the Detroit Pistons.
A lot of your reasoning is based on the fact that a few number ones have gone a bust. However, in no way do previous picks and results have any inclination on success from THIS draft, especially given the fact that your betting against the odds.
I may seem a little harsh, as it wasn't the intent, but there is no way that Turner goes ahead of Wall.
