Portland will lose and so will Knicks - twice and Wolves might lose to. We on the other hand will try to win

I got a fever and the only prescription is more "POTAPENKO"

I was thinking the same thing. Pot and QD should see a lot of PT in this game.

8. Minnesota 32-49 2.8%
-vs.Mem on Wed (Go Minny)

I think this is a typo, you must have meant "Go Memphis." If Minny wins, they wind up with 33 like us, but if Memphis wins, nobody cares because they've already clinched the #1 draft position. And Memphis just might win, since clinching #1 they have whipped Denver and the Spurs. I guess tanking so hard for so long was pretty frustrating for the players, because they're sure playing like a totally different team now.

My hopes for a better draft position rest mainly on that game. NY vs Charlotte is important, too, but we don't really know which side we want to win, since it all boils down to whether or not we will get good coin flips. I think that GS will whup Portland, unfortunately. And I hope that the Lakers will hand us a huge lin as well, after that idiotic woss against the Clippers, they owe us a very, very big favor.

My understanding is that we want Minny to have a better or equal record than us. Not a worst record.

Yeah I'm pretty sure we want Minny to win that game.

Sorry, you're totally right! I should never, ever post before my first cup of coffee in the morning!!! I even explained my own wrongness, in detail.

 

[BMiller52]

Lets say us, MN, Charlotte, and New York all tie. What are the odds we get a top 3 pick?

2.47% chance of #1, around 8.5% total chance of one of the top 3. And a 25% chance of getting the #7 pick on coin flips, which would be wonderful.

 

[BMiller52]

Sweet, so we would have like a 33% chance of getting a top 3 pick or #7.

Kings keep getting number 9 for me = /. We draft Spencer Hawes. Although it has the Suns getting the fourth pick, which is from who?

 

[fnordius]

It has the Suns getting the fourth pick, which is from who?

Atlanta's, from the Joe Johnson sign & trade. They made out like bandits.

it's such bull**** that the Suns have a higher pick then us...

 

[fnordius]

It is. And, while the 1st rounder they will get from Atlanta next year is unprotected, there's still hope for this year. Here's how it goes...

#1. We get Oden, of course. Could I leave that out of my fantasy?
#2. Atlanta gets Durant, and gets to keep him since they're protected through #3. And this could definitely happen, the odds aren't bad at all. Durant then leads them through a kick-*** season, and the Suns get a lousy draft position from them next year.

not bull****, its called being a good gm, having a damn good franchise plan, not like this organization, who couldnt even string together losses for us.

Who's to say we don't have a plan. Rebuilds don't take overnight. The 2002 team took years to build.

Go NY
Go Portland
Go Minny
Go Lake......Damn I still can't say it.

 

[rhythmless]

so the plan was to drop from 6th position in the lottery to fight for 10th? thats saying theres no plan. look at our roster. tell me the plethora of "G/F" is the plan? pathetic.

6-10 means the difference between getting horford and getting spencer hawes. was that the plan? give me a break

According to the Draft timeline at the above link:

5/22 NBA Lottery

6/28 NBA Draft

Does this mean that on 5/22 we will know how the balls bounce and what order the draft will be to be held on 6/28?

Yeah that's exactly what it means, atleast I think so. BTW how many days away is 5/22.
