Does finishing worst usually guarantee that we DON’T get the top pick?

No. Finishing first gives you the best chance at the first pick along with finishing 2nd or 3rd.

Yeah but historically how many teams with the best odds actually gets the #1 pick..

If we had 100 years of data the expectation would be about 14.

That is irrelevant.

Jazz are officially eliminated from the playoffs. Time to celebrate with some ice tea and light raspberry flavoring.

Hornets with the big W tonight. Unfortunately the Wiz lost.

Would be very content with 2. LFG Hornets and Pelicans.

(It also seems like teams with the worst record get smitten by the basketball gods)

This.

Getting 2nd could be a blessing in disguise.

this is simultaneously exciting and yet the anxiety of possibly doing all this for little outcome is nauseating
