THE LOTTERY THREAD - Knicks pick 8th

Post #81 » by **magnumt** » Tue May 19, 2009 3:04 pm

Bro, can you do us a favor and see if you can get the whole Draft Lottery tonight, and possible the NBA Shootaround too? I know you normally post highlights of NBA Events, but if you can get it all for than 1 Hour Time slot (ESPN2 at 8-9 PM EST), that's be great bro. Much obliged.

People are getting their hopes a little too high.. I'm gonna go in there expecting the 8th pick. Anything better than that will be a great surprise

exactly, we will get the 8th pick and be stuck in mediocrity...if you are gonna tank, you gotta do it from day one

^No, you miss my point. If we get Top 3 or stay at 8th I won't mind. Where I'll get REALLY ticked off is if we fall a spot for the 2nd Year in a row. *THAT* would be F'ed up.

we wont win lotto, we will get 8th pick due to our mediocrity...and for the 6th straight year, we'll learn tat in order to tank, you must do it from day 1 like miami and the spurs have done b4

The last time we got a Top 3 pick we gave it to the Bulls. I would be ecstatic just to get a Top 3 Pick, let alone win it. :lol:

How many times does it take you to run this thing until the Knicks get the #1 pick?

I got 54.

I got the first pick in 5 tries...

I ran the lottery 8 times. I got the first pick twice, and the second pick twice.

4/8 = 50%.

Hopefully we can have the same luck tonight.

Mike's face? You mean Allan's face? Allan Houston will be sitting at the dais for us, not Mike D'Antoni.

On my 7th try, Knicks got 3rd and picked Harden.
On my 26th try, Knicks got 2nd and took Rubio.
On my 31st try, Knicks got #1!!!
