#1 Lottery Spot Magic Number Thread

We are assured at least 224 balls and a coin flip for a 225th with the loss tonight, 1 more loss or a 76ers win in the last two games gets us to 250.

Hopefully Boston shows Philly how to really tank.

Hopefully Boston shows Philly how to really tank.

BOS has won their last two games, so they're definitely trying to win.

Hopefully Utah ends up as the 4th worst record. If it really is rigged I like our chances against Philly, Orlando and Utah a lot better than Philly, Orlando and Boston/LA. I feel good though, new owner and new commissioner who said how important it is for the NBA to remain in Milwaukee. A #1 pick, new owner, new GM, new FO, new coach and a new arena announced would be an amazing offseason. Would really put us back on track and get people excited again. Give the fans some hope.

This is a super important game tonight

It looks like Toronto has plenty to play for, so that is a good thing. I'd much rather have the 3rd seed and play Washington over a playoff savvy Nets team albeit they are old.

[LedZepp007]

I really want the loss so I can cheer for a win on Wednesday. Even though I don't want Drew to have the pleasure of beating his old team, this one would be for me.

[Lippo]

My boy DD will seal it for us tonight, expect 30 points on 18 shots.

I buy (and love) the scenario you painted. It would be a sweet June for WI sports fans: this scenario for the Bucks, with a new Packers draft class to be excited about, and the Brewers possibly still in first place in the Central.

A Boston win in Philly (particularly, with Bradley shooting 15 -18 from 3 pt. land in his last three games) and a loss to Toronto would be a sweet sweet end-of-the-season gift. Lakers and Boston currently tied in 5th place...need that move-up for our 2nd round pick

Picking fourth will be alright if Parker declares.

Agreed. I'd prefer Wiggins and Embiid but Parker and Exum are also very intriguing. As we've said the last few months, we just have to avoid pick #5 and a decision on Randle/Smart/Gordon/Etc.

But you're assuming the Bucks would take Exum over Smart. Ugh, draft night is gonna be so nerve-wracking.[/quot

You gyys make it sound like every single GM. has exum rated over smart and every gm would take exum over smart.
Just wonder what would happen if the bucks did have a new GM.come draft time a guy most of this board endorsed n the bucks pick 4th and this gm chooses smart over exum.

[Thunder Muscle]

We're all happy that we're Top 4 but lets be realistic, we're going to be irate if we get slotted 4th and agitated if we get 3.

I'd only be agitated at 3 if whoever running the team takes Randle or Smart over one of the big 3 (assuming Parker stays in school). Give me one of Wiggins, Embiid, Exum, or Parker and I'm a happy camper.

Of course, this might just be a defense mechanism that I've already erected to shield against Bucks's failure.
