Game Thread NBA Draft Lottery - May 12, 2025

[Sardines]

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.

That's the only way the Jazz will ever get a 1st pick. Let us know how she takes the news.

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

Well if lottery is restricted to the worst #5 teams fringe playoffs teams are incentivized to tank just to get to the 5th spot.

My wife had a phone call two days ago with the guy who audited the lottery. So to speak.

Told her to ask him how it feels to help rig the lottery. Scumbags.

This sucks, jazzbroz. No sugar coating.

That doesn't make sense

She said she’s gonna tell him how I feel. I’m also gonna tell her to tell him to bring her onto the NBA…so she can get the gig next year and land us AJ! Choo choo!!!!!

Sir... this is getting pretty hard to believe and to say this now instead of two days ago... are you trolling?

I don't believe the lottery is rigged and apparently neither does Andy Larsen, however he did post this:

Of the Jazz's 140 lottery combinations, none of them had a 1? And then they don't draw a 1 in 16 draws?

That #1 ball is rigged.

Gotta stop putting your future success into lottery balls. Better off playing with other teams picks and just building the best team you can with your assets. Sucks that the Jazz have basically crapped away 4 years on the hope of hitting a top 4 pick and they miss out every time.

Man, f*** the Spurs. POS league is pulling all the stops to make them formidable again. It's plainly obvious. How can an effing team have this much luck three straight years moving up like that. Completely BS! Looks like Texas teams having number 1 picks bargain sales lately. What's next? Houston's turn in two years from now?

If the NBA is rigging the lotto either the Jazz front office is entirely in on it or they're ****ing stupid for not realizing it and putting all their eggs in the lotto basket.
