According to the 10:00 news, the ping pong balls didn't fall our way. We will get pick #9. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/sports/558783 1. Nets 2. Grizzlies 3. Clippers ------------------ Stay Cool...
The actual lottery is held with numbered pingpong balls emerging from a hopper. Teams are assigned a four-digit number to match the numbers on four pingpong balls. The Rockets were assigned a combination of 9-14-8-6. When the balls were uncovered, Frank checked the pingpong balls against the Rockets' assigned numbers. Nine. Fourteen. Eight. And finally -- 10. "We had all three of the numbers," Frank said. "If we had No. 10, we would have had the No. 1 pick. "Then 6 came out. I was devastated." Man, that has to hurt. ------------------ ?
