@chadfordinsider: NBA just did tiebreakers for draft. Utah (25-57) won a tiebreaker with Boston.

Can you imagine the negativity that would cause the NBA? They would be chastised for decades if that were to happen. It's bad enough that in the past 30 years there has only been 8 different teams that have won the Championship. Giving two of the biggest franchises the top two picks would be suicide IMHO. If I am the NBA, I do whatever it takes not to allow that to happen. But I agree with you. I just hope they are smarter then that.

Define chastised. A few peoole complaining on message boards while everyone else tells them they're just stupid? Maybe. The Tim Donaghy thing blew over in about a week. I doubt that would have any lasting impact, with the exception of the decade of added revenue impact it would have for the league.
 
I Just listened to the Bill Simmons Zach Lowe Podcast. with about 8 or 9 minutes left in the podcast, Zach Lowe tells Bill Simmons "Breaking News, but you don't want to hear it" and then Bill Simmons says, "Oh god, did we lose the coin flip?! hahaha. Bill Simmons went off and on for the next 7 minutes about how pissed he is. He even said the whole thing is rigged and that The bucks will get the #1 pick as a gift to their new ownership, Utah will get Number 2 so we can get Jabari, and the Lakers will get #3 so they can get Exum. Funny stuff.

I sure hope Bill is right!!!
 
OK, now we need a breakdown of the odds as they increase in our favor after the top of the lottery is announced and further down. Once 14 doesn't jump us, what are our odds calculated at that point? How about 13? Now THAT is a math problem!
 
I still think utah winning their last game in double overtime is the reason why they won the tie with boston. lol So far the basketball gods are favoring us!

Well, technically, Boston actually had a better overall record than when did anyway, going by NBA Playoff Tiebreakers. Neither one of us were a division winner. We split the season series at 1-1. We aren't in the same division, so the next tie-breaker would be conference record. Boston had a much better conference record than we did, so, they technically had a better season than we did. It is just Karmic justice that we won the tie-breaker over them. The stars aligned. Hopefully they will align again on May 20th and we will get into the top 2 picks, guaranteeing us either Wiggins or Parker.

problem is conference record only counts because its in the SAME confernence.

wotn be cros conference
 
You know that rookie point guard on memphis? The one that is balding and what not. He was suspended 20 games for violating a drug code in the nba. Just thought I'd post it here, cause this is where everything is happening.
 
Now we, along with Boston, have a 51% chance of picking 5th or 6th, a 37% chance of picking in the top 3, a 10% chance of picking 4th, and a 1.2% chance of picking 7th. Is this right?

No. The correct probabilities are posted several times in this thread.
 
I forgot the coin flip would be so soon, let a lone today I am WAY excited, however (yes I know the past shouldn't calculate into what will happen this time) the last time the Jazz had the 4th pick they got the wh6t pick?

Maybe that means they'll move up this time?

Seriously as though as long as LAL or BOS doesn't get a top 3 pick I'll be content and if possible PHI drops out of the top 3 for blatantly tanking that would also make me happy.


Oh and thnx GVC for all your posts in the thread and thnx to the OP.
 
I talked about my bad luck in another thread, didn't know about the flip today, and we won. I need to stay away from the Jazz on big days.
