If we lose our next game and they win their next game, this will be interesting.

They can beat Houston, too. They have beaten GS and Portland within the past week. It's possible.

Hell ya

All eyes are on that game..and if they lose we need to throw a pelican get together to watch the last game

Looks like pels would be 2-2 against the Twolves.. coin flip would decide

Big KAT will ball out. Beating Kobe was our last hurrah.
Coin flip would be nice.

Losing Ajinca for the rest of the season will help us. Also the Bulls beating Cle last night helps out big too. They will have urgency to try to make the playoffs (unless Indy wins tonight).

We will not beat Minny in the finale, I'll bet my College loans on that.

So realistically speaking, Minny vs Houston is the most important game right now for us.

We'll think back on the final game and say.."if we won instead of losing (and winning the coin flip), we would have won the first pick overall".

That's how it works as a Pels fan

Besides Uncle Stern throwing us a bone, of course

5th: 8.8+9.7+10.7 = 29.2% chance of picking in the Top 3
6th: 6.3+7.1+8.1 = 21.5% chance of picking in the Top 3
Let's cheer on the those TWolves, and the coin flipper!

17 days till NFL draft starts...
38 days till NBA lottery draw...

Baseball in full effect, Playoff basketball coming...
Loving it!

I think a coin flip decides for everyone and your record doesn't matter. Tied teams split the ping pong balls and coin flip for the odd remainder and final positioning.

quote:

In other words, if two teams tied for the ninth-worst record, they would evenly split the combinations awarded to the ninth- and tenth-lowest positions, which in this case would mean 14 combinations each.

If the average number of combinations doesn't come out to a round number, as it would higher up in the lottery, then a coin flip determines which team gets the extra combination. This same process works if three teams tie for the same record.

A coin flip also determines which of two tied teams would get the better pick if neither received a top-three lottery pick.

So if we can tie Minny, our odds of a top 3 pick go from 21.5% at 6 to 25.3% tied for 5th.

Yeah the Knicks are our only concern. And their remaining schedule is tough.
