The game simulates it the same way that the NBA conducts the lottery.

Top team has 250 of the 1000 combinations, 25% shot at #1

If you seriously think they cheated, you're welcome to leave the league.

I'll take 11 could have 4 and 11 but I expect my scorer that I want to be there now when I thought I wouldn't have a chance.

When is the last time the 11 jumped to the 3 spot? Has there ever been that much of a jump in the NBA lottery?

And wtf poetic? You trying to get rid of me? I know anyone can leave the league when ever they want, I'm simply trying to understand how it is simulated. I actually can't wait to jump into your new league. This league has been a lot of fun, my team sucks and it's still fun, but now I'm just shocked the way things have turned out.

I end up in a tie for the 4/5 and drop to 6 but the commish jumps from 11 to 3 in the lotto? I don't think they cheated, I'm just saying that it seems scketchy, I've never heard of that happening, his chances are so low you could do it 100 times and never see another 8 spot jump. I'm not calling him a cheater I'm just saying it looks suspicious.

I'm not Poetic, and obviously what happened is rare, but calling it "suspicious" and questioning that the commish jumped is basically alleging cheating. If you aren't, I don't get why you bring it up?

Just seems like sour gohhaithurs. Yes, jumps like this have occurred in the NBA's lottery. Even rarer things have happened.

You were 4 and dropped to 6 because 2 non-top 3 teams moved into the top 3. You had to drop two spots then.

The "lottery" is actually only for the top 3 picks in the draft, and after that the remaining 10 teams are simply sorted from worst record to best record.

Indiana and New Jersey (now Phoenix) got lucky and won a spot in the top 3. So it caused teams like you, Detroit and Phoenix's picks to fall.

[dumptime]

the commish wasn't even involved in this

[20/20/20/20]

Position	Chances	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th
4	119	.119	.126	.133	.099	.351	.160	.012

There were your probabilities of getting each pick, if you really want to know. There was a 16% chance you end up 6th... only spot more likely was 5th.

lol, I know you are joking, but so others don't get confused. Thats just what the actual ping pong balls are drawn for. Obviously all 13 teams who don't make the playoffs are still in the "lottery" as they have a chance at a top 3 pick. So any pick from a team who doesn't make the playoffs is a "lottery pick".

The Fuck Man

Lots of pissed off people today.............

[ianboyd]

well fuck....or should I say...

My b 20 I wrote that on my phone and read it wrong. I'm just saying it is suspicious that the person with the most power makes a big jump like that, that is the definition of suspicious. There hasn't been anything like that to happen all season and then the lottery goes all funny. If it had been anyone else it would've gone by without question, but the fact it was the guy in the league with the most control it makes it look suspicious.

What? We used the game to do it, same way we would have if we waited. Same thing could have happened. Skrouse still would have been mad. Don't see how doing this before the playoffs changed anything.
