I mean it’s not that bad. Out of the 4-5 teams left in the nba none of them have won ever or 40+ years
I predict we will keep the pick. And I hope we pick at either 1 or 4, because we'll botch the 2 or 3 pick.
a product of injuries, perhaps from the shortened offseason. a somewhat healthy fakers roster would have been nudged into the finals without a doubt though. when you type "it's not that bad", perhaps less than a year ago you did not witness the definition of a foul being temporarily revamped with respect to jamal murray vs the fakers. or likewise 2018 & 2019 harden vs worriers?
I’m like 99.999% sure this is the case… but if the Rockets got u lucky and were to pick 5th I’m assuming they’ll show the card that says Rockets when they say 5th pick and the commentators will then note how it goes to OKC? I only ask because assuming thats he case… we’re really just waiting for that 5th pick and hope to see someone else’s name. Yes?
Yes, from what I understand We can all breath a sigh of relief on the 5th card of the Rockets are NOT on it! That means we have already shot to the bottom 4!
Hmm, do they always show the team that had the pick before it conveys? Because if not it could be confusing if they show OKC 5th, since they have a pick in that range too.
Yes, I would think so. So, they would show Rockets, Minnesota and Chicago, even if their picks were conveyed to OKC, GS and Orlando respectively.
True, but on the other hand if 4 teams jumped their order by the end of the sixth pick, it would be over for the Rockets, And they will hand the fifth pick to OKC.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Having examined last seasons lottery. I have tried out the same method myself. It looks like the Rockets will have only minimal chance of getting a one through 4 pick! In fact with by own try Rockets did not make it in the first four picks , which I tried three sessions. I just hope I am completely wrong about this, If we only have one ball per team, how can we have 14% chance? Yetti
Getting the top 4 is a coin flip. And temper expectations. I would not complain at all if it's a #3 or #4.
Actually they have exactly a 52.1% chance of a top 4 pick. I don't know why people keep posting things like this after they refresh a lottery sim a few times and don't get results they like. You could refresh a simulator a million times and carefully study every previous lottery for clues on how tomorrow will play out. It literally doesn't matter. Statistically the odds of keeping the pick are still 52.1% to 47.9%.
Tomorrow night's ping pong balls will create a franchise-changing moment. It will mark the 6th time in franchise history that the Rockets have held the #1 pick. We have a nice track record with the #1 pick - although certainly not perfect. I think Cunningham will be the pick, but I think Jalen Suggs has Jason Kidd-style leadership potential and is a can't miss prospect. 1968: Elvin Hayes 1976: John Lucas 1983: Ralph Sampson 1984: Akeem Olajuwon 2002: Yao Ming 2021: Cade Cunningham
