Stop being stupid. Yes the chances are reduced but look at who has won the 1st pick since 2005?

2005: 6,1,5
2006: 5,2,3
2007: 6,5,4
2008: 9,1,3
2009: 3,6,4
2010: 5,6,1
2011: 8,1,6


6 out of the last 7 years the team that won the lottery was lower than 3rd.

I'm not sure if there is one giant practical joke going on behind the scenes or what, but even if the team with the 10th best record won the lottery for the last 50 years, it's irrelevant.

Going from 3 to 5 doesn't eliminate us from #1 pick contention. It does HURT our chances though. Not sure why this is such a difficult concept for a lot of the people here to grasp.

Whether or not we should tank games is an entirely different discussion. However, strictly from a numbers standpoint, being at 3 is better than being at 5, Period.

Nothing personal to you TigerinATL, your post was in front of me and referenced the lotto so I used it.
