atlanta win is more important tonight than a sixer loss...with a W the hawks move into a tie with the pellies

pellies sit at 13th right now....but theres four teams within two wins of them

pellies - 32
nuggets - 32
hawks - 31
knicks - 31
cavs - 30

wins (soft games left)

knicks - 32 (none)
nuggets - 32 (new orl, utah)
hawks - 32 (cle, det, bos, mil)
pellies - 32 (next two games are @denver, @utah - last five games are @ portland, pheonix, @okie, @ houston, okie, houston, LOL)
cavs - 30 (@orl, mil, @det, bos)

sixers 16 (have a home and home with boston and what should be six losses)
bucks 14 (cleveland at home, last two games toronto and @ atlanta two teams that could very easily have nothing to play for)

great evening...denver over pellies last night and the brow left in the 2q with back issues....knicks destroyed the nets

pellies now at the 10 spot...hawks cavs friday night

knicks - 33 (none)
nuggets - 33 (utah)
hawks - 32 (cle, det, bos, mil)

you may wanna watch the college 3pt contest tonight to see travis bader....hes a sick shooter...the best in the draft and someone that would be nice with one of hinkie magics 11 second round picks

[ice grillin you]

because you care

bader came in second....one of those 3 pt johnsons where the best shooter lights it up for three rounds then loses in the final because its not cumulative scoring

GET!!

[phattymatty]

so you're saying the all time ncaa leader in 3 pointers is a good shooter. got it.

[ice grillin you]

tons of 3 point shooters in college don't translate to the nba....shtein shooting in general doesnt....i know you are a college guy not a pro but they couldnt be different leagues

for example the guy who won the contest isnt going to make the league

[ice grillin you]

you can make the argument that a team who ties the all time consecutive loss record should end up with the number one pick but pre lottery this season is setting up to be as good as you can ask for....

sixers get the two and pellies losing again tonight to the jazz and cant finish higher than 9...gonna prob be 9 or 10...not lower end of the lottery but not so high to get a legit shot to move up

Since it looks like the Sixers are locked into #2, here's a look at where the lottery #2 ended up since they weighted the system 20 years ago:

2013 = Charlotte got #4
2012 = Washington got #3
2011 = Cleveland got #4
2010 = Minnesota got #4
2009 = Washington got #5 (and the pick went to Minnesota)
2008 = Seattle got #4
2007 = Boston got #5
2006 = New York stayed at #2 (and the pick went to Chicago)
2005 = New Orleans got #4
2004 = Chicago got #3
2003 = Denver got #3
2002 = Chicago got #2
2001 = Golden State got #5
2000 = Chicago got #4
1999 = LA Clippers got #4
1998 = Toronto got #4
1997 = Boston got #3
1996 = SIXERS got #1
1995 = Washington got #4
1994 = Detroit got #3

[PhillyPhreak54]

Well that doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy...a lot of 4's in there

[MDS]

just like a roulette wheel that hasnt landed on red in a while....its due to hit on red. thats how this works right? RIGHT

[QB Eagles]

Well that doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy...a lot of 4's in there

4 is the most likely landing spot, that's how it works. 4 is the most likely draft position of the Bucks, too.

The odds of getting a top 3 pick are 55% for the Sixers.

[BigEd76]

Something else to add: even though the #1 team in the lottery usually doesn't end up with the #1 pick, the #2 team in the lottery has only picked higher than them three times (2006, 1997, 1996)

[ice grillin you]

no way the pellies beat the blazers tonight

[ice grillin you]

going down again

fate
