The Blazers need to do this:

OK, let me dig around in my pics:

LUKE!

Rip City Rally after going to the Finals in 1990. Duck Luck!

A Go Blazers cake I made for a game.

This is the last time I did the NBA draft lottery. Haven't touched it since.

 

[THE HCP]

The last time The HCP went to one of these lottery parties we got the #1 pick!

 

[THE HCP]

My boy just called and said he thinks we'll get the #1 pick tomorrow night!

 

[Eastoff]

The last time The HCP went to one of these lottery parties we got the #1 pick!

And that turned out well for us. I bet you were there in 84 too?

 

[THE HCP]

You guys vote if The HCP should go tomorrow or not! I'll leave it up to you.

 

[Eastoff]

What other lottery parties have you been to in your life?

 

[THE HCP]

Only the Greg one and the Brandon/LA one........ I was standing right there when that sign fell off the wall when we were supposed to get the #1 pick but got #4.

The Blazers need to do this:

That can't be right. $43 for an NBA season ticket? I don't care how bad they are. That's insanity.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I was thinking the same thing, but more along the lines of there being 41 home games and not 43... how did they come to that number? Are they getting swept in the playoffs next year or are they factoring in a few preseason games; or is it just a two dollar "processing fee".

 

[THE HCP]

Probably have 2 home preseason games.

From this article........

WHICH TEAM HAS THE MOST AT STAKE? That’s easy. It is the Brooklyn Nets. They traded their own No. 1 pick to Portland for Gerald Wallace, but the pick is top 3 protected. So that means that if any of the Nets’ 75 combinations (out of 1,000) of ping-pong balls come in (there is a 25.1 percent chance of that happening, as not just the No. 1 overall pick, but No. 2 and No. 3 also are determined by random draw), they have an extremely valuable asset they can include in a package for Dwight Howard. And if they can get Dwight Howard, Deron Williams is likely to stay. But if the Nets don’t get D-12, Williams could end up choosing to play for Dallas, and the Nets could be left with nothing to show for all their wheeling and dealing over the past two seasons.

And this......


HOW OFTEN DOES THE FAVORITE WIN THE LOTTERY? This is a question of particular concern to Bobcats fans, who have a 25 percent chance of winning the No. 1 pick and a 64.19 percent chance of landing in the top 3. Since the current lottery format was adopted in 1994, the No. 1 pre-slotted team hasn’t retained the No. 1 pick since Orlando did it in 2004. The No. 1 pre-slotted team has dropped out of the top three 11 times, most recently in 2009 (Sacramento).

The past has absolutely NOTHING to do with the draw today. Every year the draw is a memoryless event based on the mathematical probabilities. Unless, of course, you are into conspiracies or karma or some other criminal or metaphysical interpretations .

Well, HCP seems to do OK. With #4 pick the Blazers ended up with Aldridge & Roy, then got Sergio. Toronto got Bargnani #1. I still think Portland made out better.
