I meant the draft position, not the actual pick. If GS lins, we would be tied for the third worst record and we could get the 4th position if we lose in the coin flip. That's the worst case scenario in terms of draft positions.

You could probably say "lotto position" and not have any confusion with the actual draft position determined by the lottery.

Brick...if we lose the coin flip do we still split the ping pong balls? Is the coin flip only used in determining position after the 1st 3 picks are determined?

Combos are still split, but there would be a leftover combo that would go to the winner of the coin flip.

A leftover combo? So one ping pong ball?

The total between #3 and #4 is 275 combos. The winner of the coin flip would be in #3 lotto position and get 138 combos, the loser of the coin flip would be in #4 lotto position and get 137 combos.

Ha! Washington couldn't have tanked that game any harder and somehow they still won. If anyone should get a fruit basket and a thank you card it's Indiana. They just gave us a gift.

Portland doing their best to give the Warriors the win, but Warriors aren't fallin for it that easy! Haha, the Warriors should win this game playing against Portland's backups though. Man, that would be awesome....

Wow Clippers have secured 8th worst record, they better pray Lebron takes the bait with those LA girls they are going to dangle in front of him or they are screwed! Serves them right for basically trying to mess with our pick (kidding, or were they? Lol) I love it, if Dubs win there will be a 4-5 tie (Wiz-Dubs), a 5-6 tie (Detroit-Philly). They will have to have their own worries about that infamous coin, that can be the difference between a solid player and a complete and utter scrub.

2) lottery is held, and the lottery is basically jsut to see who gets the 1st through 3rd picks. From the 4th pick onward its just done by record. So if WSH, GSW and the LAC get the 1st through 3rd picks, then 4th would just go to the team with the worst record remianing (NJN in this case) 5th would go to the next worst record (MIN) etc.

Thank you for this post. This cleared up a lot for me. Actually makes sense now.

I just cannot consider the Warriors better then the Kings. Our records being identical is really misleading IMO. What do you guys think of them? They are trying their best to lin that's for sure. Rudy Fernandez and Batum are killing them.

Man, thank God the season is over. Curry is putting up some ridiculous numbers. If he had another 10 games or so I'd say there would be a chance he could catch Tyreke for ROY.

Maybe, just maybe, for once all the stars will align for the Kings. The Warriors will win and the Kings will end up with the #1 or #2 pick.
