Is the Lottery rigged?

[Jason]

The Ewing year was rigged for sure. The ping pong era I doubt it. How could you really do it?

Did you see the ping pong balls?

Davis will soon have all the money he needs to fix those teeth.

And his uni?

That team would still suck. Jack and Ariza would compete at being the worst starter at their respective position in the entire league. Zeller wouldn't be far behind. And Davis probably won't be scoring 25 a game. That team would be lucky to crack 80 a night and win 15 games.

Jack would be the worst starter at PG?


Despite averaging 16/6/4 shooting ~35% from 3, and ~45% from the field? Perfect complimentary scorer to players like Eric Gordon and Anthony Davis, in my opinion.

Ariza obviously isn't very good, but they also have three years to replace him.

Good hell! Does that thing snake hinge so a smaller unibrow face can pop through?

Look at the starting points in the league and tell me how many you'd want less than Jack.

Sacramento. Portland. Utah. Dallas. Memphis. Lakers. Miami. Orlando. Potentially Indiana. Toronto traded him away, and I bet that they're regretting it seeing as he had a much better season than Jose.

Majority of other teams have similar-level point guards with youth on their side, like Lin, Teague, Stuckey (though Knight is emerging).


Named nearly half of the NBA.

Hill or Collison > Jack
Jason Kidd > Jack (That couldn't be serious)

Statistically:

Jack > Conley, Harris, Nelson, Hill or Collison. Jason Kidd was a bit of a stretch, Ill admit.

How many of those point guards average 15/6/4?

All those PG's were a part of winning teams. Jack was probably the best player on the team for stretches because of Gordon's constant injuries. Jack is good enough, but I don't think he is better than the guys I named.

Was the lottery rigged when the Jazz boosted from the 6th pick to the 3rd last year?

Yes. Koc gave out major blowies for that one

Now, this argument I do not understand. Are you telling me that having Conley, Hill, Collison, or Nelson would have changed the record of the New Orleans Hornets in any way whatsoever?

Maybe not, but I think having Jack on those teams would have made them worse.

By not correlating the ping pong ball process with the actual envelope process. Supposedly, this process is watched over, however.

We'll have to agree to disagree, then. I think Jarret Jack could have run the point much better, especially in the series against the Heat. Pacers had zero-resemblance of an offense with George Hill.

No one can say definitively whether it's rigged or not. There is no transparency. But lotteries like this (and other year's) + questionable reffing (see 2002 WCFs) + Donaghy's book + the very fact that the term "superstar calls" exists = Conspiracy theorists aren't just pulling **** outta their ***.

This has nothing to due with anything other than holy hell look at that unibrow and messed up teeth.

I wish I had a unibrow!

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

I don't think it's rigged, but right now I wish it was, because I'm sure the NBA isn't happy how GS tanked.

Probably. The Jazz needed help after losing DWill.
