    Well, crap. I thought it was 4th = 29%, and I wasn't comfortable with that. This is even worse. I definitely don't want them finishing 4th. I'll be at the game rooting for the Blazers to play well, then quietly hoping for the Nyets to pull out the win at the end.

    I'm rooting for a Blazers win. I want the Nets to finish with the 3rd pick. That way, when the Blazers win the lottery and get the #1 pick, we push the Nets into the 4th spot. I figure the fates owe us one.

    unless you're expecting N.O. or Washington to suddenly stop tanking and win all of their remaining games that's probably not gonna happen : )

    4th worst does not "have" the 4th pick. it has a 10% chance at the 4th pick.

    a 10% chance at the 4th pick is NOT worth the extra risk of losing the pick completely. we want them to finish no worse than 5th.

    excuse my harping :wantmommy:

    Odds smodge.... Just be 5th-7th and I think that's good. The odds those drop arent significant. Basically 8th-14th must win the lottery if your 7th, and so on.

    Deron Williams isn't going to tank going into his UFA summer, and you know the Nets want to keep him, so they won't tank as an organization, either.

    Williams is a stat beast and Avery's past his prime as a coach.

    Saw tonight that with NJ's loss they went from a 4% to 9% chance of landing in the top 3!

    no they're currently tied for 6th worst which has (at least, depending on who's chart you use) a 22% chance of winning a top 3.

    looks like we are pretty solidly locked into 11th, so 3% chance for us of top 3
