Game Thread NBA Draft Lottery - May 12, 2025

Ran sim ten times, Jazz got 1st three times, a low of a couple of fifth's, and second twice.

Yeah but aren’t gti’s known to be compact hatches?

They’re not known to have a roomy interior.

True, not too wide but the seat drops low and goes back really far, giving great leg and headroom. They also have a big hatch and can fit more than most hatchbacks.

Just got off a work call. Got a 10K raise.

Hopefully that is foreshadowing for more good news to come.

If the jazz gets the top pick @Saint Cy of JFC should order all of us Flagg jerseys

It's a funny feeling to be "excited" for an event where you have a 47.9% chance of getting kicked in the balls.

I'm dying. The stress and anxiety is destroying me today. Too much build up.

Post a picture or a gif of the elation of getting the top pick or the dissapointment of getting the 5th pick tonight.

Here goes:

It’s so perfect for the Jazz to win for the first time ever tonight, it just has to happen.


No ****ing chance the Jazz or me actually win something like this.


I’m just jumping between those two thoughts all day today. The real question is whether #5 or #2 hurts more

#2 hurts more. #5 is just expected.

Question for percentages people. If we have counted down from #14-6 and no team has jumped into the top 4 yet. What are the chances at that moment the Jazz are #5?

Interesting, let me work on this, along with other scenarios, i.e. one team, two teams, etc. are in the top 4.

Yes, but it’s really an 86% chance.

OK, nevermind on the other scenarios. It would depend too much on who jumped in to the top 4 and who fell to 6th and I don't want to calculate all of that out.

If we get to the 5th pick and no team has jumped in to the lottery yet then the Jazz will have a 21% chance at number one and a 81% chance at a top 4 pick, if I calculated it correctly.
