Please stop, you're embarrassing yourself. And making my head hurt. What you are proposing is basically the reverse of the Gambler's Fallacy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_fallacy

Most people who get this wrong would see a 2/14 record for the first pick and say, "the luck is about to change", there must be a greater than usual chance this year. That's obviously wrong, and hard enough for me to understand why people would think that way. That's the Gambler's Fallacy. But what you are saying the is the reverse of that: "Luck has been bad in the past, so it will be just as unlucky this year". That fallacy is so uncommon I couldn't even find a term for it when I googled it just now. It's sort of the Inverse Gambler's Fallacy, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_gambler's_fallacy, but not quite.

I'm just going to quote this and also put it in bold and make it bigger so nobody has an excuse for being dumb from now on.

Don't panic yet. Utah won their last two against D-League quality opponents, barely hanging on against one that had lost by 40+ in consecutive games. Granted the Miami game was an outlier, but the Jazz are just Heat killers. I credit Sundiata Gaines for etching permanent doubt in LeBron's mind. I'll bet LBJ wakes up with searing pain across his forehead and a case of the cold sweats, just at the thought of having to play in Salt lake.

The schedule was extremely easy for Utah of late. And the Jazz likely pick up a couple more quick wins after the all-star break. Then the tide turns and Utah could fall back again in March. Keep the faith!

I panicked almost 40 games ago, declared the tank dead and the season a total waste and failure, and was summarily laughed off the board by simpletons with zero NBA knowledge. This was back when we had 3 wins.

7th IS the best case scenario at this point.

I am insanely smart and good with this **** and never have or will be wrong. Do not question me ever. EVER.

I bow before your power and wisdom. Forgive me for ever questioning your omniscience.






Although I know PKM is really the power behind your imaginary throne. Without him you are nothing.
