lets all relax brehs...

if we were the 4th worst team doesnt mean we get 4th seed.. we could have landed 6th spot... lets just pray we get some luck going our way. im mad as fukk too but lets think rationally. also since when are the top 4-5 prospects the same top 4-5 prospects going into the draft? theres always a shakeup. we could get exum at 6th. worst case scenario is marcus smart who would have been 2nd pick or even first last year
Worst care scenario is we pick 9th.

4th place is a 4/10 chance of picking in the top 3, 6th place is a 2/10 chance. Our odds were caught in half. That's a 50% difference.

Don't act like they weren't right in position with two games remaining. :beli:

If the Lakers win the lottery, I don't want all you crybabies celebrating. Stay in doom and gloom mode, ignoring that it's all chance no matter where they finish. There's only one franchise player in the draft too. :upsetfavre:

im saying. they acting like it's not a lottery. where we are right now doesn't mean much. this isnt the NFL

If they hadn't won those games I was "crying" about they would be in the 3rd or 4th spot with a great chance at the top pick.
