Lottery Drawing Open Thread

Kitten_tiny by Dave on Comment 524 comments

In what will hopefully be the last rendition of an annual tradition for a while, here is the official Open Thread for today's lottery drawing.  Coverage starts at 4:30 Pacific on ESPN if you want to chat while the balls are shuffled and the order announced.

The process:

Team reps will gather in a closed room where ping-pong balls will be chosen in combinations of four.

Each team has a certain number of four-digit combinations.  Teams with worse regular-season records have more combinations.  Teams with better records have fewer.  Miami has 250 out of 1000 possible.  Golden State has 5.  The Blazers have 6.

Three four-digit combinations will be drawn.  The first combination will be for the first pick in the draft.  The second combination for the second, the third for the third.  After the top three picks are selected the remaining teams are seeded from 4-14 in order of regular season finish.  If you want to see the exact number of combinations for each team and how ties between teams with the same record were resolved, Click Here.

After the drawings are complete the team logos will be placed in envelopes.  They will be revealed, from the 14th pick to the 1st, on ESPN.

Possible Outcomes for the Blazers

--If Golden State wins a Top 3 pick and the Blazers do not, Portland will pick 14th.  Portland's logo will then be the first revealed on the lottery show.

--If neither Golden State nor Portland move up the Blazers will pick 13th.  It doesn't matter who else moves up as the Blazers are behind them all.  (The 12 teams in front of us can get shuffled in any order you can imagine...there are still 12 of them.)  In this case Portland's logo will be revealed second on the lottery show.

--If Portland moves up we will know it immediately when the second envelope is revealed.  If you don't see the Blazer pinwheel in the first two envelopes that means we once again have a Top 3 pick.  We'll have to wait to find out which one it is.

Have fun commenting and bringing good juju to the Blazers today!  I'll talk to you guys around 4:30.  If you'd like to remember how things went around here last year then read the 2007 Lottery Commemorative Thread.  Ah...such a SWEET time!  If you don't get serious tingles up your spine reading that then something is probably wrong with your spine...or your tingler.

--Dave (blazersub@yahoo.com)

P.S.  I don't know if the chances are too small to bother or if everybody got wise to my pet peeve, but THANK YOU ALL for not posting 1,600 "lottery simulator" threads this year!  I managed to get through the whole lottery season without reading one "I just ran the simulator and the Blazers got second!" post.  Hallelujah!

P.P.S.  You can also check out Dwight Jaynes' "What If" column.

I know it's a long shot but...

Im wearing the same clothing that I did last year for the lottery, all day tomorrow…

That reminds me

I gotta wear my lucky mystery red Blazer shirt I never bought and mysteriously ended up in my closet back in my parents place. I had never boughten it, never seen it in my life, and when I went home to visit my family before the draft I looked in my closet to get my basketball to bring back down to LA… and sitting there was a red Blazer Booster t-shirt, folded up even, on a shelf in my closet. What the heck?

Crazy story, man, I’m telling ya. I wore the shirt and look at us now: destined to be champions.

So, I gotta wear that shirt. I almost wore it to the Blazer vs Lakers game I went to down here, but decided to save it for the lottery and/or playoffs. With that shirt and my lucky headband, is it even possible we don’t move up in the draft order?

But running the simulator until we got the #1

Is what got us the #1 pick last season, I heard. The NBA just takes whoever wins the first pick the most when the most faithful fans run the simulator, I remember being revealed around the time of the Donaghy revelations last summer. It kinda got overshadowed with that news, but yeah, that’s how the top pick is decided.

The lottery really snuck up on me this year; I had no idea until the other day it was so damn soon. Fun! I like watching us getting undeserved top 3 picks.

My own simulator sez the two worst teams will not get the #1 or #2 pick, and some team’s fans will be upset that they didn’t get the high pick they ‘deserved’. I hope the broadcast cuts back to that loser Celtic fan with a backwards hat holding his face in his hands, shocked his tankariffic team didn’t tank their way to Oden. No matter how bad my day can be, I can just relax and think back to that shot, and schadenfreude my way to happiness.

Also

We might have 6 number combos, but it only takes one. We got 5 too many! What a waste.

Why do other teams even exist? Makes no sense.

Fatty

I’ve been wondering when Fatty’s self-imposed ban ends. Hopefully really soon, but I was thinking it might not be until the end of the summer.

by jc burg on May 20, 2008 10:06 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Why

did he banned himself out ?

by Blenzer on May 20, 2008 10:07 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Long story short

Fatty was known to make predictions and be so sure of his prediction, and he made the prediction that the arthroscopic surgery on Oden would turn out to be nothing and he’d be back for Opening Day. He said if Oden is out longer, he would bad himself for a full year, that is how sure he was that everything was fine. Well, we know the rest of the story.

As far as legacies and legends go, it was a pretty sly move on Fatty’s part, because now he’s like a mythical, legendary figure that people now only speak fondly of and new Blazers Edge members just dream about.

So, Fatty banned himself to absorb the sin of Oden’s injury, and he had other stuff to take care of in his real life as well (I think). Towards the end of the Summer, I’d guess would be the year anniversary.

Fulfilling my office with joy.

Draft day finally now is here,
It is upon us at long last.
The order of picking is near,
It is approaching rather fast.

Who will get the number one pick,
We all earnestly want to know.
That is all but me, it’s no trick.
All the others’ll be filled with woe.

Number one will go to Portland,
The balance for years will be lost.
The league will walk on the court stunned,
At the gift to us fortune tossed.

And this Rose has no other name,
Sweet indeed to our noses he’ll smell.
Parity will go without claim,
Portland’s dominance sure’ll be swell.

Maybe I should schedule a massage?

That’s what I was doing the last time we won, but as we didn’t send out Roy, I’m a little doubtful this year.

I didn’t do the mock draft last year because I thought it was silly. This year there was one post, so I thought I’d give it a whirl as the person posting said it took 50 tries. I got third in ten and i was happy.

It is a silly thing though.

97.82 percent chance we'll draw #13 or #14.

Still, it’ll be fun to see who does get #1 or #2. I’m sort of hoping the Sonics will be one of them. A top two pick two years running along with the other future #1 picks they’ve been amassing could set them up to be a very strong team. Maybe it would awaken Seattle residents to find a way to keep their team.

Is the name of the game, for me, tonight.

For instance: If Memphis draws #1, they pretty much have to grab Rose.

The Absence....

...of “We just got the first simulated pick!” comments this year is likely due to the simple facts that

a) We no longer have to depend on the lottery to get us help.

and

b) Our odds are so slim this year, and lightning rarely strikes twice, anyway.

Remember, getting #1 last year was just karmic payback for getting stuck with the #4 pick the year before (despite having the worst record).

If karma is still in play, we’ll probably be picking #14 this year.

by shralpster on May 20, 2008 12:17 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Karma should favor GS anyway....

...I mean, they had a record that in any other year is a lock for a playoff spot, yet here they are in the lottery?

And given the state of that Franchise, they’ve pretty much hit their ceiling as they are currently assembled, anyway. Davis might not stay. Nelson is always a mercurial force. This team is going to struggle in coming years, unless they get a stroke of good luck here and there.

Honestly, I would not mind seeing GS getting a top pick over teams like the Knicks and Heat.

Hmm, let's see . . .

Last year I dreamt we got the second pick and drafted Durant. I was visiting a friend in Seattle at the time, so maybe it didn’t count because I wasn’t in my own bed. I haven’t had any lottery dreams this year, so I guess that means we’re getting the #3.

If Dave really truly wants the lottery system to be changed, then he should be hopin’ and prayin’ for the Blazers to win, because everyone will be so damn angry they’ll HAVE to make changes.

Really, we’d be doing all of the future bad teams a favor, and keeping the league strong. And there aren’t any more dynasties in the NBA, and we’d be solving that problem as well.

I keep reading about people's good luck charms.

We don’t need ‘em. What confidence can one take in a good luck charm? They’re fleeting and never provide any real confidence. What I do have confidence in is getting the number one pick. Not because I did anything, or the Blazers did anything, or anyone else did anything, but just because they are.

They need a PF who can score... but they need a good PG prospect

The solution is simple: Trade the pick to Portland for Frye and Jack, and kill two birds with one stone!

We’ll even throw in #13 so Paxson can draft Batum, and have another offensively-challegned pogo-stick to go with Noah and Thomas (and a French one to boot)
