The Bulls are likely going to win and finish in a 3-way tie for 8th worst record with New Orleans and Sacramento.

The Lakers having to play the Warriors in the play in game also puts a smile on my face. Very good night in the NBA.

Re: Race for Ping Pong Balls
We have achieved top odds of the first pick, since the bottom 3 teams all have equal odds.
Tank you very much, Orlando Magic. You guys really did take one for the team.

Re: Race for Ping Pong Balls
The Magic were 15-29 at the deadline.
Houston and Detroit were both 12-32.
Solo 3rd worst record realistically is about as good as we could have hoped for all things considered.

Re: Race for Ping Pong Balls
3rd spot was important to me because I'm cool as long as we stay in the top 5. So even if we fall 2 spots that woukd still keep us in that 5th spot which I think is still solid in tbis draft.
Now dropping 3 or 4 spots and falling to 6-7 would be dreadful and really suck but I feel like being at the 3rd spot the absolute worst luck would habe to happen for us to fall 3-4 spots. So 3 was very important to stay hopefully in the top 5.

Re: Race for Ping Pong Balls
Good job team for giving yourself the highest probability at the top and a top 4 pick. I would have loved 2nd, but that was a tough ask, good finish to season unlike other times. Now I do not want to hear it if OKC or Cavs win the lotto, how we should have won a few more game to finish in their spots.

Re: Race for Ping Pong Balls
Bulls went from a 26% chance at a top 4 pick to a 20% chance with tonight’s win. What a great night for us. Now, let’s hope they win the coin flip and get placed at 8th.

Anyhoo... when we went full tank I knew we couldnt reach #1 but #2 and 3 were achievable. We got it so hopefully during the lotto we dont have bad luck and pick 1-3 pls.

Re: Race for Ping Pong Balls
God just did tankathon 5 times.
Not feeling great about it anymore lol
2,6,6,7,6 is what I got. With the bulls jumping into top 3 2 out of the 5 times. Man I'm nervous now. I can't believe it's so likely for the magic tk fall that low...

All you can do is give yourself the best odds. The rest is out of anyone’s control.

Re: Race for Ping Pong Balls
Good loss after the shaky start by the 76ers and huge win by the Thunder. Wish we could’ve held onto 2nd worst to give us a higher ceiling, but at the very least we are tied for the highest odds to end up top 4 & #1.
