    I think it's all based on coin flips to get combination order. So the year that we won the lotto, our record was the same as MIN. They took the amount of combinations for 5th and 6th, combined them, and split them in half (since it was an odd number, the coin flip winner won the right to draft first if neither won a lotto spot and got the extra combo).

    Conceivably, there could be a 3-way tie for 10th/11th/12th. Tied with PHI and 1 game above TOR.

    I hate that we cheer when we're losing 12 games in a row.

    I think it's awesome that the fan base is so passionate that they still cheer about something. A lot of fan bases would simply stop caring

    Considering my favorite time of year is draft/free agency/trades, I think it makes perfect sense. The summer is the only time, on paper, that we've ever been the best team in the league. For a few months we can imagine all the possibilities until Herr Stern comes along and smashes our dreams.

    OKC owns Toronto's pick this year (top 3 protected), so we really need to root for Toronto to win it's last 2 games and for the Blazers to lose their last two. Odds are better for getting in to the top 3 and it also pushes OKC down a spot as well.

    Agreed--if OKC is picking one spot ahead of us, you have to know they'll pick the player we want...

    Do the Sixers have the tiebreaker? They beat us twice, right?

    I think so.

    PS: I showed a "graphic picture" of you in the OT forum. Hope you don't mind. :cheers:

    Not relevant. Draft order tie-breakers are determined by random drawings.

    Looks like Toronto has a legitimate shot of knocking off Atlanta. They're up 41-33 in the second, on TNT.

    If they win, it'll bring them even in the win column with Portland and Philadelphia.
