3, 1

Nine days until the lottery. As I've said before, every day I sim until the Suns get the #1 pick. Today, this was the sequence. 3rd pick on the first pull and 1st on the second. This is an important draft for us. This is a place to discuss the lottery up until the day and on the big day to see where the Suns fortunes lie.

I got it on the 6th attempt. Got 4th twice. I probably won't do it again before the lottery.

Yuck! I wish I hadn't heard that! Yeah, maybe you should stay away. :lol: OTOH, maybe it's good to get those out of your system.

Every time you guys sim til we get 1, our chances of actually getting 1 goes down. The universe only allots so many, you guys are using them all up. It will be your fault when we draft 3rd. Jerks.

FURTHERMORE, if you're theory is right, we are actually helping. We get 2, 3, and 4 more often than 1.

I don't believe in karma or jinxing things or whatever. But I can't bring myself to run these lottery simulators. I get too upset and emotional over them when ultimately it's just a computer's random number generator that doesn't mean anything.

Doctor Strange has gone forward in time and viewed 14 million possible futures. We win the lottery in one.



Unfortunately, it's not the one that has The Avengers beating Thanos, so if we do win the lottery, there's a 50% chance of our pick disintegrating.

Right we all know it's fixed anyway.

Let’s all just assume we’re getting pick 4 then we’ll either be pleasantly surprised or better placed to deal with it. (Is that enough to reverse jinx us into pick 1?)

5/7: 1

First try today. And the Clippers moved up 11 spots into 2nd.

Yup. Tuesday, May 15th, at 4:00 pm PT. But who's counting? (8 days, 4 hours, 57 minutes)

I'm barely paying attention. I have already come to terms with the fact that we're going to fall out of the top 2 in my mind.

Jackson's our representative this year. Let's hope he brings us more luck than Booker did.

I think it's weird that we have the representatives instead of sending an exec.
