There is ZERO PERCENT chance that the Lakers who are trying to lose can actually win any of the following games by accident. Absolute ZERO


Minnesota
Portland
Washington
@ Minnesota
@ Clippers
Memphis
San Antonio
Sacramento
Minnesota
New Orleans
Golden State

I would happily engage in a friendly wager of 5 TPs that the Lakers win at least one of those games. The loser is responsible for coming back on each of five days to reward the winner.

Mike

You are on! It's a win-win for me. If they win a game or more I win. If they lose them all like I expect I win tommy points!

You were right!! I was wrong and I am ecstatic!! Here is your 1st TP

Must say I was shocked Lakers won last night, in OT last night. What's our magic number this morning?

Idk about you guys, but that Lakers win just gave me a HUGE sigh of relief.

I hope Phoenix loses out and LAL win just 1 more.

Then LAL have the tiebreaker over them (better conference record) and they are the 3rd worst record in the league lol.

Now 10 games to go, Nets have to go 6-4 just to tie the Lakers. Not impossible but I think that's unlikely, they probably can go 4-6 at best in that stretch. They also play BOS once in that stretch.

So I guess the chances were a little higher than 0%, huh?

 ;) :D ;D

I think the Lakers still have another win or two in them before it is all said and done. Lots of bad opponents still to go.

In other words, Brooklyn ain't catching them

I could be wrong but, for the sake of the lottery, I don't think they have a tiebreaker. I think it's a coin flip.

You are correct, head to heads etc mean nothing for draft order, it is a random drawing.

IIRC, for the lottery drawing, in the case of a tie, the number of number combinations would be evenly divided between the tying teams.

i thought it was both of the above...if in the lottery then its even split of extra balls, if out of lottery its a coin flip

You still need a coin flip, though, in the lottery. If neither team ends up in the top 3, the winner of the flip gets the more favorable spot.

Nets up by 12 in ATL end of first quarter. ATL has 3 starters out. Why are these teams making it so hard for Cs to get the overall best chance at #1??? How can ATL lose to Nets at home?
