I couldn't turn away.

I kept watching because I thought, let's see how bad this can possibly get.

And when you have a halftime deficit, the largest halftime deficit in NBA playoff history.

Here was something I thought of during the game.

You probably didn't, but odd things come into my head when I'm watching sporting events.

The number one overall pick for the Atlanta Hawks, Zachariah Richichet.

Played three games in the postseason, averaging 3.7 points per game.

Now, the reason why I bring that up is he was the number one overall pick.

If you look at the other number one overall picks since 2020, Cooper Flagg, Victor Wimbenyama, Paolo Bencaro, Cade Cunningham, Anthony Edwards.

Ouch.

Wait a minute.

We got the number one pick.

Wait, we didn't even get the right French guy.

He missed out on Wemby.

They also had the trade that allowed Luka to go to Dallas.

They ended up with Trey Young, who's now in Washington.

So I'm thinking, what happened to this guy?

Now, it's Atlanta basketball, so nobody really cares.

If he was in a major market, then maybe we'd be looking at him and talking about how much of a bust he is.

And it looks like, by all accounts, he's probably that.
