The basketball gods will reward our boldness in the lottery. Shameless tanking will be punished. That's why the worst record never gets the top pick.

Removing the "basketball gods" and replacing it with "David Stern", your post could actually be correct.

I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist but I do believe Stern has an impact on draft order (or at least has on a few occasions). I'm not so sure it's a big coincidence that teams that blatantly tank usually don't get the top pick.

Great, we've got some future of losses coming-up against NO, Orlando, & Utah. Sac plays OKC tonight.

Clips up 14 at half against the Cavs. Doubt they win though.

Thunder up 7 against the Kings in the 3rd. Come on Kings.

In the case of the Wizards the gods will throw a little curve ball though. Griffin won't declare.

Yeah, the entire zards organization has been very careful to say they are trying to win games and get their players back and all that. I think everyone learned from the San Antonio getting the #1 pick episode that good teams that are struck by misfortune will be smiled upon by the basketball gods, as long as you do not make them angry by deliberately tanking.

Pine, you're close to being back 100%.

With each and every picture it's like all your rust is disappearing.

Bare feet, boots, butt cleavage, Beyonce lookalike, better-looking than Jessica Simpson lookalike, and a very subtle camel toe ... all within TOS standards. Impressive.

Love the pics guys ;)

Wizards might be in with a chance with Byron Scott threatening to inject Ryan Bowen, Devin Brown and Melvin Ely back into the bench unit!

and you just know Mike James is gonna burn us for 50...

Hey, at least he's finally hitting the boards this quarter. Nice 4th quarter from the Wiz. If Ras didn't hit that 3 after we missed layups, it'd be a heckuva finish. I don't understand why the Wiz are so inconsistent with their rebounding.

Does the loose ball foul make you feel any better?
