Last Night Draft Watch

[jambr380]

and washington tied with brooklyn for win/loss. could the celtics move up to #17 as well? it almost feels like christmas...in a sad sort of way.

Hopefully we win at least one of those two coin flips!

I believe Washington has the tie breaker [since they are the #5 seed and playing the Bulls] so #17 it is.

Time to go spin chad ford's lottery machine....

Lowest I've gotten in like 6 tries is 5th! Even won once and a few top 3s! What's the worst pick we can get?

In theory we could pick eighth but its a half a percent chance...

Does anyone know when the coin flip is?

A great success tonight was. Win the coin flip, snatch the 4th slot. Probably be picking 5th or so. I'll take it. Continue to accumulate assets.

The Celtics and Jazz will split 207 ping-pong ball combinations with a random drawing to see who gets the leftover combo (and the higher pick in the event neither vault into the top 3 spots). Both teams will own roughly 33.7 percent chance at a top-3 pick and a 10.4 percent chance at the No. 1 overall pick. Boston can pick no lower than eighth in June's draft.

The Celtic entered the final night with the fifth worst record in basketball, but were aided by a Los Angeles Lakers victory over the San Antonio Spurs as well as Utah's double-overtime triumph over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

What's more, with Washington's win over Boston, coupled with Brooklyn's loss in Cleveland, the Celtics will pick as high as 17th in June's draft with the Nets' pick received in last summer's swap. A coin flip will break the tie between the Nets and Wizards, who both finished at 44-38, meaning Boston will pick 17th or 18th overall with that selection.

Yes, unfair to the game thread to dominate with rooting for the Wiz and better draft picks.

Right now Jazz up 12, Cavs up 15 and Wiz up 16.

TP.  Cool move.

Well...we've done about as bad as possible in previous trips to the lottery, so there's that.

I'm going to be expecting the worst with the lotto balls, and maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
