I show up more when the Jazz are actually good and worth talking about

Watching this video redirected me to watching 2 hours worth of 2002 WCF series-related videos on youtube today. What a travesty the NBA can be at times, there are few things mroe aggravating to me than seeing David Stern's smug face dodging questions in interviews. Kings won that series.

I wont go as far to say the lottery has ever been rigged, but game 6 was with out a doubt consciously called in the lakers favor.

I'm calling it right now. The jazz will move back 2 spots on the nets pick.

You're really going out on a limb there calling something that has a 35% chance of happening (@6th). With a 74.4% chance of being 6th or 7th, I'd hate to hear the miserable "Jazz 7th" called. Ooh the humanity. What terrible luck.

I would love to have you guide me right through the dealer's stack at the roulette wheel.

Well, they also have a 25% chance of moving into the top-3 if they stay at #12 and NJ holds at #6. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best, I say. Works for marriage;-)

Prepare for the worst and hope for something a little less than the worst, but probably the worst anyway, I say. Works for marriage;-)

Fixed.

If Stern was going to rig the pick wouldn't he have done something a little bit more elaborate than bending the corner of an envelope?

It's the NBA Lottery - not a game of Old Maid.

Exactly.

And Stern recently announced that he has changed the lottery to include all 30 teams so he can continue the NBA conspiracy to get the biggest markets the best teams and rig the lottery so New York gets the first pick this year, using a bent ping-pong ball.
