Game Thread NBA Draft Lottery - May 12, 2025

This is probably the worst nightmare as a Jazz fan ever since Jordan's push-off shot.

That would be easy enough to say after the fact, but I told my son to bank on it happening 2 months ago. It was going to happen. It happened. Honestly, I love Andy Larsen and respect him, but match the situation with the odds and that is just foul play. Don't care if you saw it. Loaded dice. Slight of hand. Andy, have you ever watched "The prestige"? Watch it again tonight.

I didn't think the league would go that far. I didn't think the league would conclude the situation in Dallas was so bad that they needed Cooper Flagg.

The only issue i have with this lottery is the Mavs moving up. We were a 50% chance of the 5th pick. Rigged? Nah.

Mavs moving to 1st was a predictable soap box script line. Like a "Days of our lives" ressurect the dead ex-husband and the handsome but provocative lost sailor lover who passed in season 4 to bring back someone popular to get the old school fan base that lost interest in the show.

The lottery should only be for the bottom five teams
#11 teams should not jump over the five bottom teams

This. Or maaaaaaaybe bottom 6-7.

I learned a new word today

That’ll only worsen tanking.

 

[Sardines]

That’ll only worsen tanking.

How would it make it worse? It can get worse?

 

[Miggs]

Don’t worry, mates. Maybe my wife will be put on the NBA and act as the “auditor” of the lottery process and rig that **** for us.

 

[Miggs]

That’ll only worsen tanking.

No it ****ing won’t.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

NBA is really playing in our faces. They aren't even hiding it! Absolutely disgusting.

 

[slc]

The lottery should only be for the #1 pick
That way the worst team still would get the #2 pick

 

[kcgar]

That wasn't an option.

The options were: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Of those #5 was overwhelmingly most probable.

So, you don’t know how odds works. Makes sense
