Didn’t Midnight get blown up by an ordinance in Ukraine? Or was that DeadlyDynasty

He has switched his shtick from thin basketball knowledge troll to quasi intelligent troll. I was all ready to ignore him but honestly, I'm here for the next chapter. Let's have it Gramps. I will need some of those Boomer sayings as a side dish too. Thanks in advance.

You’ve got a pretty mouth…

Not everyday you see the transformation of a boomer to pathetic coffee house faux intellectual in the span of three posts. Like you, I’m here for it. Lay it on us Wilt, and go get you that unsuspecting, below average 19 year old pussy we all know you be fiending for

Your clique is not to good with the statistics. You are defending your friends I get but it is what it is.

Now you know you can just add the probabilities and why.

I am really starting to think this is Mr. Bodys alt. All this just feels like some he would say if he wasn't under his main.

Sounds like FuzzyLumpkins back for his quarterly meltdown where he accuses Ariel of being a nazi out of the blue.

I hope ST never changes. Ever.

[Wilt Chamberlain]

So this is how the clique reassures each other for not understanding how probability works.

[Ariel]

We need Ariel to do the exact math, because I'm too lazy to do it, but no - the having the 8th and 9th pick (pre-lotto) do not give you a 46.4% chance at getting a Top 4 pick, the same way that they don't give you a 153.4% chance of not getting a Top 4 pick (which is the sum of the odds of all other possible picks).

The same way if you had 10 of the 14 top pick odds, you would not have a 375.9% of getting a Top 4 pick.

By the same token, if you had picks 11-14 (pre lottery), you would not have a 23.7% chance of getting a Top 4 pick. This is in part because hitting on one of them excludes the possibility you can hit on the others. You can add up the odds for any one team and you can add up the odds for any one pick, but you can't do it ulatively across teams (rows) and picks (columns).

C'mon exstatic, use your brain man.

Had to do some coding because I somehow lost the small program that did the calculations for me, this should be the joint probability distribution for pre lottery seeds 8 and 9:

There's basically 4 quadrants:
1) upper left, both picks are top 4: 3.98%
2) upper right, only pre-lottery seed 8 is top 4: 22.33%
3) bottom left, only pre-lottery seed 9 is top 4: 16.30%
4) bottom right, none is top 4: 57.39%

So, assuming pre-lottery seeds 8 & 9, chances we land EXACTLY 1 top 4 pick are 38,63% and chances we land AT LEAST 1 top 4 pick (1 or 2) are 42,61%.

Will double check tomorrow with a fresh brain, but should be ok.

[rascal]

Portland will be better than last year. Clingan is a good fit and they'll get Sharpe and Scoot back.

[stnick2261]

We (and ATL) just need to be worse than CHI. I wonder what our lottery odds would be if we finished 9, 10 & 11. (and then CHA finishes 15, just for fun)

If that happens then the Wolves aren’t gonna have any picks in the 2030s

link?

It was in a Windhorst post. I didn’t save it.

https://www.poundingtherock.com/2024...es-this-summer

On SiriusXM ESPN’s Brian Windhorst said Spurs aren’t looking to make big moves/trades this summer and will instead focus on the 2025 Draft. When in S.A. recently, he spent one on one time with Spurs GM Brian Wright so it’s likely that this info came from that source. #PorVida pic.twitter.com/MWXfSumHeX

Haha I still remember people saying it was Stupid to tank last year and that there was No way we would get Wemby. Ahhh Good Times. Lol

Overdue for a Thread Bump and laugh tbh

[DrSteffo]

I have heard of McNeely and Demin. Both seem to be very good. Everything is gradual, the progress of the team and the degree of competing and not tanking. We should be slightly better better next season which is fine.

[Raven]

there will be no tanking

[John B]

We should find out soon . If PATFO view Markkanen as target to be #2 next to Wemby, I feel they will do what it’ll take to get him. Spurs have the picks and assets to get it done. And with CP3 acquisition, It looks like it’s leaning towards getting better than the other way around.

We do suck, but not enough for it to matter. Sorry to break it to you.

Spurs are a severe ankle sprain to Wemby from being a bottom 5 team. I expect Atlanta to be worse than you think after the Murray trade. No one knows where both the Spurs and Hawks will end up.
