David Stern announcing some other team' s name in slot 8,7,6, & 5, that way we would be in the top 3. Where do you guys think we will land? DaDakota
I think I voted #3. I've been feeling it the last two lottos. The "it" ended up being Thorn and Jordan though.
I don't know why but something tells me we are going to drop to 8. But I sure would be happy if we got the 1st pick.
I forget the exact chances of that but it's so damn minuscule. I think the Rockets are about 200 times more likely to get the #1. It's that damn 7th pick that scares me. Oh and I voted fot the 3rd pick. I have faith in Fracis' ability to play ping pong!
I didn't take a shower and I'm still sitting around in my pj's I'm gonna go download some Chinese music and listen to it over and over until the results are announced. A good hour long meditation to the music should do the job.
Here are the approximate odds for the Rockets: 1st 8.90% 2nd 9.77% 3rd 10.82% 4th 0.00% 5th 26.59% 6th 35.65% 7th 7.94% 8th 0.33% I picked 6th but since no one picked 7th in the poll it might happen. Someone please select 7th
I'm feeling a #2 pick. I think decisions will be the theme, and at #2, that would put them in limbo (assume Yao is #1)-do they take Dunleavy or Woods, or trade it to someone wanting Jay Williams?
I say #3. Anyway, that's how I voted. Sign and trade for Lamar Odom. This will be kinda fun, watching the lottery. Remember: every team that doesn't show up where they should (teams #6-13) is that much more of a possibility that the Rockets are screwed. Imagine if three of those teams behind us (for the moment) don't get called in their original spots. Then we'll know to expect #8. Then this won't be so much fun. But I'm hoping for good results!
