If we do miraculously get pick #2 or pick #3, then go on to win Game 2, I might actually run across my street screaming in just my underwear (and it's a pretty busy, main street lol).

Yes, I'm sure that Philly will be very happy with it

Percent of people in survey who think we'll go up the lottery = ~70%
Actual percent chance to move up = 4%

No comment :D

It's 30%  :P
And the actual percent to jump up is 2.9% (accounting for the chance to go to top pick). The point still stands... kind of ;)

Ha. Well played!   ;D

I would go crazy if we got #2 or #3 but, unfortunately, I don't think that's going to happen.

The % of us jumping to 2 or 3 is predetermined, not sure what's the point of trying to guess here ;D

So you are saying we have a chance?

Seriously though, I am an engineer so the numerical reality is very clear to me but I also understand "anything's possible".

I didn't mean this as an insult on the ppl who made guesses, apologies if it was interpreted this way.

My prob is that in this situation you can't rly give reasons for your belief. In other situations, you can give reasons why an event is more/less likely to happen due to specific circumstances, here it's more like debating the chances of a toin coss.

Fun.  ;D

Plus, don't you guys understand that the lottery machine cannot resist the allure of giving a top pick to the Lakers, Cavs, Bulls, or Knicks irrespective of the consequences? It's literally built into the system, so mark it down, because it's happening tomorrow night - guaranteed - and yes, of course I'm being completely sarcastic, here.

It would be beyond hilarious if that actually happened, though, lma0 ;D.

Crazier things have happened. Cavs won the top pick with something ridiculous like 2% chance so anything's still possible

So basically, If Adam Silver opens the 5th envelope and does not show the Lakers (Philly) LOGO then all of Celtic nation should be half jubilant because that means they jump to 3rd or 2nd...but gulp hope its not First because it goes to Philly.....It will be tense once again.

Actually we have 3 telling moments. If the 10th pick is revealed, presuming picks 11-14 don't move up, to be Philly, we get the Sactown 2019 pick #1 protected. If pick 10 goes to anyone else, the LA pick is now a top 3 pick and is either the Cs pick at 2 or 3 or Philly's pick at 1. We will only know which when picks 2 and/or 3 are revealed.

Don't bother, man, it's already done. You just know that the lottery machine can't help itself when it comes to the Lakers ;D, so relax, as we're getting the second pick and that's all there is to it lmfa0 ;D.
