If randomness was so well ordered that streaks never happened, Vegas probably wouldn't exist. Again, I'd rather have better odds than worse odds, but winning last night didn't cost us 5 - 10%. It's kind of an all or nothing proposition. We'll either win from 3, 4, 5 or we won't. To me the bigger problem with losing isn't going from 15% to 11%, it's possibly dropping from 6 at worst to 8 at worst.

Now this makes more sense.

i'm going to lol so hard when we get the first pick with Minny's pick and the 4th pick with ours. while the third seed gets like 5th pick.

then I'm going to come on this board and call out every poster who ever supported the tank.
