    No, you just made a mockery of the game and the thousands of people who paid money to you to play it. Congrats, jackass.

    The Rockets will have a 2.3% or 2.2% chance of getting the #1 ... not 2.8%. Those numbers are wrong -- they don't take in to consideration the ties. You can generate a lotto here with the correct numbers:

    So true ... but my favorite part was that he felt his guys deserved a night off from trying to win.

    Why am I keep getting Chicago Bulls as the #1 pick? Aren't they in the play-offs this year?

    Edit: never mind. So it's the knick's pick, LOL

    They get the Knicks' first rounder this year as a result of the Eddy Curry trade - it should say that somewhere in the description.

    Making the playoffs and maybe having the #1 pick overall. What a deal.

    Got the 3rd pick on the second try. Warriors got 3rd the first time. C'mon lady luck. I wouldn't mind putting $20 on the Rockets getting a top 3 if I get good odds. Let's see... 20 times 100, divided by 2.3...

    The random Tie Breaker is done this Friday, April 21. It's a Coin toss. Its on the NBA webpage. Though I don't know if we send a representative, who we send, or if we even get to call the toss.

    I got the Rockets #1 on my 20th try, and #2 and #3 a few times. I guess the odds are still fairly good to land us the top 3.

    Actually, not that good. It is 8.05% to be exact, broken down as follows:

    1st Pick: 2.25%
    2nd Pick: 2.65%
    3rd Pick: 3.15%
    Top 3: 8.05%

    Those percentages will shift a little after the tie breaker is settled.

    I'm sure they are. It's taken much longer on previous attempts. It's funny though. On that attempt we had #1 and GS had #3.

    I like how ESPN thinks Brandon Roy is going to fall to number 10.

    Great report Clutch. Big surprise that the Chronicle couldn't correctly figure it out.
