I'm not very good at explaining these concepts to simpletons.. but then again that's why I'm not a teacher.
See, these comments are unnecessary. As I said, I think people understand the numbers and how they work. But those numbers do not comprise the entire basis of their "fandom", if you will, when it comes to any given game being played on the court.

My point is purely this... a 5% greater chance of getting the best pick in the draft has a higher ROI than winning 1 extra game in an 70 game season.
If we're basing being a fan on ROI, we should all seek treatment.
ETA: And, btw, Spock, reasonable, logical and mature people may actually choose to pull for their team to win with full knowledge of the consequences. Their values may simply be different. There are NO GUARANTEES when it comes to the lottery.
