I have no idea how that shit works. It is so confusing to me about the certain amount of number combos each team gets or whatever! I will take your word for it, but how did you get that %?

[Tince]

These charts confuse the shot out of me. But feel free to give us a daily update.

Just figured out where the Nets fall in terms of worst record in the league, then add up the percentages of 1-3 and you get the percentage chance the Nets will get the pick.

Well for us to lose the pick, we don't just look at the odds for 1st. We combine the odds from 1st-3rd. That's why he said 50/50 to lose the pick. Honestly, the best spot for them to be in is 5th. Odds aren't that great.

[ripcity67]

If they are the #4 their odds aren't even 40%. Rounding up 50% does not seem correct.

I like being 5th for jersey. That's a decent pick

Yeah, this sucks. No more rooting for NJ to lose. They are going to lose us right out of their lottery pick. I like them at 6th just fine (70% chance we get their pick, iirc).

[BoomChakaLaka]

From what I understand, if we don't get their pick this year, then we get next Year's lottery protects to 1-2. So if the Blazers have a plan B to package this pick with players, we still might be fine if we don't get this summer's NJ pick. They are not getting Howard next year, so I don't see how they'll be much better next season.

I think we'll package the NJ pick plus to trade for Rondo.

Kendall Marshall on fire in the first half

13pts/6asts with 7min to play in the 1st half

[blazers2285]

Marshal looks good in the first half my only worry is his defensive quickness but he looks great out there. I kind of want him maybe with our pick.

I'm rooting for them to lose every game. I'll take the chance of perhaps getting the 4th or 5th pick... or getting their pick next year. I don't want to have them make a run at the playoffs and us pick 10th or 12th or something with their pick.

Gerald playing really well today, but Nets still losing.

[HCP]

I'm worried they are going to lose there way into the top 3!

[yuyuza1]

Man this Irving kid is amazing. Reminds me Brandon with his poise.

Tie game 4 mins left.

Irving is great isn't he? Just 19 years old!

I remember watching 1 game of his at Duke and isntantly thinking he was going to be a star. Coach K said he was the one freshman he ever had that he never had to chew out because he thought exactly like him.

[yuyuza1]

Oh freaking rookie call. Carry? Really refs? That was an amazing move by Irving.

Still tie game 1min left.

What I'm starting to look for after watching more college ball these last few years than ever before, is for guys that make the game easy. I don't care about guys like Jimmer who take and make ridiculous shots in college. Because that skill doesn't transfer to the NBA. The guys that can get layups in traffic and lull defenses to sleep (like Lamb or Rivers) are the ones that are more likely to have success in the NBA.

:56.9 New Jersey Nets NJ Gerald Wallace misses a layup


Ah, the familiar Gerald returns.

[yuyuza1]

Cavs up 6. Freakin Nets are gonna lose their way into the top 3.

obviously there's no way they get to #1. worst case scenario at either 2 or 3 we still have more or less a coin flip for their pick.

[yuyuza1]

So I'm confused here. Will NJ even send anyone to the lottery to stand in in-case the pick becomes top 3? Say they end up with the 4th worst record (and 4th best chance of landing #1), will they have a representative there, or will it just be us?

Wow that's a really good question! I don't know
