[nycknicks105]

What the Knicks doing trying to win this game???

 

[nycknicks105]

What are we doing??!??!?!

 

[nyk orange and blue]

come on ricky

 

[nyk orange and blue]

Idiots you're giving the Heat a better chance at the top lottery pick

 

[harlemtothebronx]

No more wins!

 

[nycknicks105]

Even when i want the Knicks to lose...we manage to win. What the Hell is up with that????

 

[mez 0ne]

Ugh, the hell.

On the bright side, the odds to the team with the worst record getting the #1 pick is not as great as people might think...its all luck like Clyde said.

I'd be just as happy getting the 2 pick. Rose or Beasly would make me

(no Laney).

 

[true 3 blue]

hilarious

I dunno why yall are whining, like others have said (and like Boston last year). Losing and having the worst record isn't guaranteeing a DAMN thing. Wherewe stand right now is good enough imo, we'll just have to see where the chips will fall

 

[allen3xis]

It doesn't guarantee a top 2 pick..

but it improves the chances greatly, and if we end up 5th...who's to say we don't end up with the 7th pick as much as we would #2 or #3?


It's not just about percentages with the First pick, it's with all of them...I believe if you have the worst record, you're guaranteed no worsethan #3

 

[tommykairaa]

good win.

[allen3xis]

 

[mez 0ne]

We need top 2, otherwise we are doomed.

 

[true 3 blue]

edit that allen, i can't read it clearly

 

[allen3xis]

It was the math with the different draft positions..can't get it to come out right

but for example

#3 worst record - 45% chance of a top 3 pick
#5 worst record - 28% chance of a top 3 pick


So yeah, The Celtics didn't get lucky..but

you have to take as many ping pong balls as you can get...I want the best odds possible

 

[true 3 blue]

oh ok, makes sense now
