If I had to pick between this team having the 13th or 15th pick, I'd go with the latter and making the playoffs.

It is what it is. Our odds suck, but the team’s value (besides Pat and the guys in walking boots) looks much improved. Kinda wish we didn’t surpass Dallas and Miami, just for slightly better odds in play-in loss scenario, but here we are.

Rooting for the 1.2% Flagg odds is nonsensical. It will be disappointing if this crew bombs the play-in.

Mavs and Bulls with the same record. What’s the tie breaker say?

they split the lotto odds for the 12/13 spots evenly (assuming the bulls don't make the playoffs) and have a random draw to determine draft order if neither one of them moves up in the lottery

if the bulls make the playoffs they just jump up to the 15th pick and aren't in the lottery

We actually could make playoffs.. but it would also be great if we stayed in lottery, got lucky and improved our draft pick, maybe to get into 3-4# spot.. #1 chances are super low.

I'm rooting to make the playoffs. After Flagg, this may be the smallest fall-off in my preference between guys 2-15 that I can remember. There aren't any of those guys who I can say are sure-fire stars.

If Heat lose to Hawks are they still above us in the lottery?

Disappointing to the tune of a 25 point beatdown at home.

A classic post-98 result.

Lot of injuries. Lot of easy points given up. A lot of bricks. :oops:

I thought that's how it works, but I may be wrong.

If both Dallas and Miami get in the playoffs that moves the Bulls up to 11.

We need a long, athletic, two-way wing.

Anybody like that available when we pick?

If the Heat lose they return to their spot in the lottery same with the Mavericks.

If they win the Bulls move up in the lottery standings.

Correct it’s only those whom go into the actual playoffs that will not be in the lottery. Didn’t think it was that hard to work out. But for many it is! So we need to barrack for mavs and heat! Simples

Bulls are out, so I have to root for someone. Might as well be the Mav and Heat.
