Lol, yeah, I think something catastrophic would have to happen for us to be last. I was just trying to make a point to that troll that anything's possible, but the actual odds of that happening are pretty slim. I honestly think we have too much talent to be anywhere near the bottom. I feel good about this season.

Hey, a Bucks fan here, interested in your team since you have had quite the rough drought quite like mine (and I'm interested in using them in nba 2k10 lol). I think you guys have a chance to be great in the next few seasons, but in regards to this year I thought I'd examine teams seasons after they get the 1st overall pick to see how they fared. By average since the 1985 season, the team with the 1st overall pick in the draft has had about a 10.75 win increase in their next season (I got this number using Oden's rookie year as last year which actually increased the number) which would put you guys at about 30-52 and the 11-14 seed in the west. The best increase single season increase with the 1st overall pick in that span was 36 wins (Tim Duncan) so at best I'd put you as 55 wins and like 4-6 seed (that's extremely optimistic) and the worst was an extra loss of 8 games (interestingly enough, Michael Olowokandi) which at worst is 11-71(and highly unlikely unless you guys like trade Blake and Gordon for Kwame Brown). I actually am a big fan of Blake and I think if Dunleavy is semi-competent and lets Baron freelance more I'd say you guys increase by like 15-20 games and gets you to like a 34-39 wins and like the 9-12 seed as you progress to a bright tomorrow.
