Doing a simulation is stupid when you know the exact odds.

Why do people keep connecting this lottery to former ones? Many act like they're all intermingled. It's a little annoying. I know this is blatantly obvious, but the '97 lottery has NOTHING to do with the '16 lottery. So the people saying 'previous bad luck'. Can we stop with that. The lottery doesn't tie that belief in.

I am going to run the lottery simulator one more time.  And THAT result will be what happens tomorrow.  So stay tuned.

And here you have it ladies and gentleman. Pretty much as bad as it gets but I had to do a double take because the sixers are at #2 yet we fell down the max.  According to this scenario, the Kings actually made the top three.  But since the sixers apparently have the right to swap picks, they did (leaving the kings at #4). 

Well, at least the lakers lost their pick too. 

Man, this one would suck and give the [dang] twolves yet another #1 pick.  Pitiful.
