    New Orleans beat GS tonight. This puts three teams at 21 wins, Toronto and NJ at 22, and GS at 23.

    The Raptors need to bring it for the finale!

    4 way tie for 3rd would be just too dangerous. you're still looking at the 5-6 pick most of the time, with much higher odds of losing the pick.

    amazing that the loser of the NJ/Raps game could be tied for 3rd, while the winner will be tied for 7th. has there ever been a single game where the tanking stakes are so high?

    Does anyone know who holds the tie breakers in that scenario? Seems like with it being the last day of the season and will all of the playoff spots wrapped up that its a pretty realistic possibility. Its makes the Wiz vs Cavs game tonight much more important as well.

    I am ok risking it. The pick has less protection next year snd the Nets should be bad again. We have to get a top talent and the pick is our best shot.

    I agree it is worth the risk. Although I want the better lottery pick because it has more trade value.

    I'm actually hoping that happens. Aside from being "deep," this year's draft class seems historically weak. (Despite the talk of how deep it would be due to many players staying in college last year because of the lockout, the top picks are all freshmen.) I can't imagine next year will be any worse at the top.

    i would be also if it meant we had a realistic shot at the 4th pick. it doesn't. even if they finish in a tie for 3rd and don't win the lottery we're still looking at 5-6 most of the time anyway. they might as well finish 5th.

    pretty big assumption there. they'd be adding a top 3 pick and if deron re-signs, plays with some motivation the whole season, and recruits other FA's, in the east they should be pretty damn good. we could just as easily be looking at a pick in the low 20s as a top 7.

    FWIW the odds of a team in a 4-way tie for 3rd ending up with the 4th pick are about 8.1%
    (drawing 3 bumped to 4: 5.6%, drawing 4 not bumped: 2.5%)

    As were all of this year's top picks a year ago. The sophomores were all exposed as over-hyped and displaced by this year's frosh.

    looks like the Cavs want no part of a tie at 22 wins, losin to the lowly Wiz by 14 early in the 4th

    chances at 4th pick if NJ finishes in 2-way tie for 4th? about 5%


    edit: with cavs loss NJ can't finish in 2-way tie for 4th now. can only be 3-way, so odds of 4th pick would be even worse (3.3%?)
