    Top 3 picks are lottoed, after that it goes in order of win-loss record.

    Yeah, the lottery only selects the first three picks.

    So if the First logo that comes out of the Envelope is not a Rocket logo, then expect it to be 1 2 or 3. It will not be pick 6, or pick 8 or anything like that.

    I usually watch the lottery, but I'm sorry that the Cavs owner son has what he has but i don't want to lose my dinner. Seeing those type of disease just creeps me out.

    If we stay on the mediocrity treadmill for 55 years and keep getting the #14 seed, statistically we will get a top 3 pick eventually.

    Maybe this is Morey's long term strategy.

    Awesome. We got a 1.8% chance of getting a top three pick. Whoohoo.

    0.01789321 to be exact because you can only win one of the three maximum.

    Even if we get the 13th pick i'll be a lot happier than the 14th pick.

    Just FYI, back in the Yao Ming lotto we actually won the 1st AND 2nd pick despite having really bad odds. Anything's possible.

    ^And by "won" I mean that our ping pong balls came up for both the picks, obviously one team can't win both of those picks.

    Would rep you if I could. I never knew that? Figured if Rockets weren't drawn first (@ 14th) then 13th pick would be the next possiblity! :eek:
