Sorry guys, I have absolutely no faith in this.

I'm prepared to pick 10th with our luck.

Mentally prepping for #12, praying for #2

Wait hold up, is there actually a possibility that we get 12th

6
sps26•

Miniscule, but if three teams behind us jump into the top 3 we get pushed. It's a very low percentage though

7
xarziv•

God damnit it, here I was thinking 10th was the worst we could do.

HardOakleyFoul•

If we fall to 12th, we truly are a cursed franchise. The odds of that happening are astronomically low.

8
Learned__Hand•

We've moved back 3 picks and 4 picks in the past. So it happens.

Not since the new lottery.

How could Adam Silver not want Boston, Philly, and New York to be the future of the Eastern Conference?

Better than the brown city of cleveland

LeBron is leaving in the summer anyways, time for them to fade away.

Now watch that kid earn them the next HOF guy tonight.

Cheesewhale189•

Lebron leaving means Cleveland gets another 3 number 1 picks

2
shy247er•

Probably.

Metswhore•

THIS IS WHY you TANK. Those meaningless games that we won mean NOTHING.

potatosss•

but... but... culture?

Purple_9s•

FUCK CULTURE!!!! DONT YOU GET IT!!!

We would've had to get to #7 against two PRIME tankers. Was a long shot at best

3

What black magic are you guys using to get us the 1 pick that is causing this windy ass hurricane

19
bhoff0804•

Well if we didn't win 2 meaningless games in the last 2 weeks of the season we would've been where the Kings were in the lottery odds so...

18
CalifanoCation•

Just to think I couldn’t feel any worse lmao

shy247er•

"fuck tanking, we need to develop our talent"

2
The_Fauc•

Yep and obviously the lottery would have played out exactly the same in that hypothetical universe.

2
AlphakirA•

This is fucking ridiculous. What is this The Decision? I don't want to hear Adam Silver or Trae Young. Shut the fuck up and show the envelopes.

16
Shogun82•

Can they just fucking start this shit what a waste of time holy shit the NBA is so dramatic

14
parkcitydev•

Espn needs to sell another block of commercials....

1
Joetheshow1•

I'm calling it right now, we're getting the #2 pick. Silver couldn't be too obvious with his envelope freezing so we're getting #2 instead of #1.

12
Bwangster12•

I'm going into this lottery with realistic expectations. I make myself so nervous before these things. This year... let's be real about whats going to happen.

4
Joetheshow1•

I'm trying to fight the pessimism this year brother, we're going Top 3!

3
Bwangster12•

I don't think of it as being pessimistic. Every year I really get anxious and think that we will defy the odds and move up.

2
Joetheshow1•

Yeah I hear you

2
Chrisp722•

I'm happy we didn't move down but it really sucks to see that the Kings are probably gonna end up with Doncic and they only lost 2 more games than us

12
markerkim•

Did a $1 scratch off ticket and won $1. All I see are 1's today so we getting 1st pick tonight boysssssss

11
InspireAndAdmire•

Found $10 on the floor were getting 10 lol

1
thetripb•

I want Doncic so much

sheeno823•

If were not 9 does that mean were at least top 3?

parkcitydev•

Yep

Correct.

chailfail•

Yes

JCass10•

Is it a minor win that they didn't drop?

11
BlueBlurX•

I’ll take it man

3
smushkreeg•

Minor? It’s a HUGE win

1
demetrios3•

How could they have dropped?

mr_bungle_1•

I hope the anti tank people are happy now Fuck off

LilSwagg•

But but youre not a fan if you want your team to lose lmao

PorzingisDingus•

this isn’t true

He’s being sarcastic

It'll be different this time!

  • Me, every year

smushkreeg•

Lol Sacramento. Does the NBA want the sport to die?

10
DaBeeears•

Knicks have sucked for a decade plus and the NBA has grown exponentially more. I’m pretty sure there’s no correlation

uguuguu2•

NBA fans just follow stars anyway.

UncleGrandpapa•

Mmmmm mediocracy...gotta love nyk

10
TreSeven•

Hmm I’m cool with 9 if MPJ is actually there tho

9
ObviousAnswerGuy•

I highly doubt he would be there. Bilas' 5-10 picks included sexton getting picked before us (which i also doubt will happen), so that's probably why MPJ fell to us on his mock.
