Say what you want but I will always believe the lottery is rigged. There is no effing way Cleveland wins those lotteries that they did unless the whole thing is rigged. I don't care what anyone says.

And they blew one of those picks, in Bennett.

We're going to get #4 whether we like it or not. Lakers are going to be gifted #1 whether we like it or not. That's just reality.
Statistically speaking, getting the 4th pick is more likely than getting any other one pick. But then again, you're free to believe whatever you want. Some people think man never landed on the moon.

What was "reality" immediately before last year's lottery?

Reality immediately before last year's lottery was that almost everyone in the entire world had (and still has) questions about the legitimacy of the lottery.

Well the ping pong balls belonged to the Nets so any previous bad luck with Celtics ping pong balls has no effect on this outcome :)

you have a good point .  in terms of good faith trade ,  there should be no bad karma associated with the trade.  Great players were given up for the chance to sign a great young talent to replace them .  Fair winds blew our way and we have a top four . No reason the luck could not give us 1-3 either.

i think our most lkely outcome will be pickng second ......then taking Jackson

Suns pick first ....take Fultz or Ball

Lakers pick third take Ball

1 Suns , 2 Boston , 3 LA. ....seem to come up most often , then Boston picking Forth seemed to come up,alot .....ugh. .....because we got 75 chance of NOT getting 1st.

my prediction is we end up with Jackson with 2 or 3 pick

You don't think we would take Fultz we had the option with the 2nd pick.

Well that all sounds very scientific, but the question was what the inevitable outcome was going to be prior to last year's draw, since the poster knows the inevitable outcome this time.


Here's the entire unedited lottery draw from last year BTW. If you could just point out where the rigging is happening a lot of us would appreciate it.

25% chance we choose right (1, 2, 3 or 4) and stakes are higher.

I'm expecting 3 or 4 the league has to be envious of us being in the ECF with a chance at the top pick. I bet LA gets the first pick.

THE LOTTERY ISNT RIGGED

Why would the NBA risk this? explain it to me.

Take the tinfoil hats off. The lottery isnt rigged. Maybe it was 20 years ago.
