Don't forget the possibility that New Orleans will shoot themselves in the foot. Can you believe they have won 4 games in a row and now sit at 19 wins? While their schedule says they shouldn't win anymore games, they have beaten Memphis, Denver & Utah this month. So they could win a game they shouldn't.

I did forget that. In that case, let's go Cavs, lose 'em all time.

Unless I'm missing something, the Hornets beat the bobcats Monday, and finish their season with 2 vs. Houston and 1 against each of LAC, Golden State, and Memphis tonight.

EDIT: The Kings have Charlotte on Sunday. Good chance we hop them to #4.

yep, I was thinking the kings, not bobcats. kings get bobcats and hornets get golden state.

Everyone else that matters lost last night, too. I hope the Knicks come into town still playing good. It seems every time they come to Cleveland, they play the worst defense possible.

I was worried yesterday that the Cavs might win that game last night, then when I saw Kyrie in there, I thought damn, this is going to hurt. Luckily, Scott played his shit lineup alot of the second half: Parker, Walton, Casspi, Harangody,Sloan and Manny Harris. That was more than enough for the Sixers to make it a blowout.


If the Cavs can lose the next two, at home against the Knicks, then at San Antonio, they could at least lock up the 5th spot going into the lottery. If they beat Washington to finish up the season 1-4, and Sacramento beats Charlotte, then they tie. I'm not sure if there is a tiebreaker or they just get an equal amount of balls in the lotto. Anyone know ?

dumbest move ever, until I heard Byron Scott state that they would limit his minutes and hold him out of a few games.

translation: "He'll play against the teams we can't beat to keep up in the games, and sit against the turds so we don't hurt our draft position".

but of course, it shows what I know about anything.

he had those 3 really good games and looked like the real deal and then he shit the bed...i dont have the stats but his assist/turnover ratio had to be in the negatives...defenses figured out how to defend him and it showed really quickly...i hope that was the case and not where the cavs scouting department missed something because i did just see he signed a 10 day contract with the grizzlies

New Orleans won tonight.

3 way tie for the 3rd most ping pongs. :biggrin: Scary part is... New Orleans have a couple more wins in them :biggrin:

If I recall correctly a tie for the lottery means those teams will have the same amount of ping balls in the hopper (That's what happened in the LeBron lottery as we tied with Minnesota?). The one thing I am not sure about is if you aren't in the top 3 how the order would be determined.

Good point, but I'll gladly take a 3-way tie for the third most balls in the hopper. Of course, if N.O ans Sacramento can win another and the Cavs lose them all, then third alone would be sweet. Aside from Washington, the rest of the games are against playoff teams. I think the Bullets are playing better recently.

Sacramento still has to play Charlotte. Im not sure about the Hornets.

in the event of a tie, each team gets the same number of lottery combinations. if there is not an amount that would make it equal, there is a coin toss to see who gets the extra one. I'm not sure how this works in the event of a 3 team tie.

So, if the hornets, cavs, and kings all tie at #3, the lottery selections are divided up evenly. if say the kings win the lottery and pick top 3 and the cavs and hornets don't, the cavs and hornets have a coin toss to see who picks 4th and 5th respectively.

That being said, there won't be a 3 team tie. The cavs will screw up and win two games down the stretch. it's just their style.
