Give Me Your Lottery Top 3 Predictions, and Then Go Treat Yourself to a Nice Meal

Note that Milwaukee has new ownership, like NOLA when they got the #1 pick. Hence, I would predict that they end up top 2.

1 Utah
2 Milwaukee
3 Philly

Forgot about the new ownership group. They're rewarded for not being scared off after the Sanders debacle. Lakers need to rise from the ashes to restore TV ratings. And Jackson keeps quiet about MJ's gambling problem being the real reason for the 3-yr hiatus from the league.

1. Lakers
2. Milwaukee
3. New York
 
#1. A frozen ping pong balls allow the Fakers to get the top pick.
#2. Stern comes back into power for one day to authorize the trade of Nash's dead corpse to the Fakers for KLove.
#2. Kobe openly admits to eating tiger babies in order to harvest their tiger baby stem cells, his career is rejuvenated. this results in 3 (preseason) game suspension.

F the Lakers!

[/TABLE]

*The table is not adjusted for tiebreakers. #4 and #5 would be virtually even in terms of winning a top-3 pick, although Utah has one additional ping-pong ball due to the uneven number of chances when combining 4/5 and dividing by 2.


So here's my "flawed logic" prediction:

1. Teams slotted 6-14 stay the same as they have the highest percentages for finishing at their respective spots.
2. Boston at #5 won't drop to #6 (as #6 has a higher chance of finishing there) nor will they stay at #5 as #4 has a higher percentage of finishing #5. So Boston lost the coin flip battle, but they win the war as they're going to jump.
3. Utah at #4 has the highest chance of finishing at #5, so Utah drops a spot.
4. Milwaukee has the highest single likelihood of finishing at #4. Sorry, Bucks.
5. So now we have Orlando, Philly and Boston left as the lotto teams.
6. Milwaukee already dropped to #4, so next likeliest spot for Orlando is #1. By same logic, Philly gets the #2 slot and Boston, by default, is left with the #3 position.

To recap:
1. Orlando
2. Philadelphia
3. Boston
4. Milwaukee
5. Utah
6-14. (No change from pre-lottery positions).

Wow, alot of conspiracy themed posts here.

Guilty as charged. I learned long ago that conspiracy theories, while most likely untrue are much more entertaining than the truth.

1-It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

2-They are dismantling the sleeping middle class. More and more people are becoming poor. We are their cattle. We are being bred for slavery.

3-Robert Clayton Dean: Conspiracy theorists of the world unite.
Brill: It's more than a theory with me. I'm a former conspirer.

4-I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence.

Yes, they do. They are currently sitting at #2 and #10 and are sending Dr. J as their rep to the drawing.
Used to be known as the Sixer's until the league mandated a name change due to their play during the just concluded season.
