Jordan, the greatest ladycat of all-time, predicts we will get the 1st pick

I fully expect the Milwaukee Bucks to jump into the top 3 and we will have to pick 10th instead

I was thinking the same thing coolio. Either the Bucks or Warriors move up.

Looks like it's time for a terrible team to get it but there's one interesting fact: Chicago was the 9th worst team when they won. Guess who's 9th worst this year? That's right, we are.

Hell, the 17th is tomorrow. I would have forgotten all about it if I hadn't just realized this.

maybe stern won't let us win a lottery until MJ mans up and goes. too much dog and pony for MJ i guess.

Charlotte Bobcats Head Coach Paul Silas will represent the team on stage during the 2011 NBA Draft Lottery. The Bobcats have a 1.7 percent chance of securing the first pick, and a less than 3.0 percent chance of getting a pick in the top three.

Silas is no stranger to draft lottery proceedings, having represented the Hornets in 1999. After being named interim head coach during the 1998-99 season, Silas led the team to the best record of any of the teams in the lottery, leaving them with just five chances out of 1,000 to receive one of the top three picks. The Hornets were slated to pick 13th but moved up to the third pick despite having just a 0.73 percent chance of doing so. That remains the only time since the NBA moved to the current lottery format in 1994 that the team with the best record received one of the top three picks.
