Any ritual, supers ion, tradition y’all may have do it on Tuesday!
Just went to tankathon and got the sixth pick. So that would get us Amen Thompson's sister right?
If someone can block out Stern please do.
The Spurs will only get the first pick when liberal and conservative Spur fans do a group hug.
This should be a positive vibes safe space thread.....until it's not, then unleash .
This is going to be fun
Or not.
Looking forward to the celebration/meltdown/I told you so/you're an idiot posts
Does San Antonio go honking if we land #1?
never had any supers ion, but being that I recently got a classic edition jersey custom (Duncan, 21), I’m gonna wear that on Tuesday and hopefully we get #1!
Nah. Just party like it's 1999!
so yes?
So it is wear your Duncan or Robinson jersey Tuesday. It is decided. Fail to do so at your own risk.
GOAT or goat status incoming. Takes a big set to start *this* thread. Good luck man, but also, prepare thy anus if we're 7th....
That is the modal outcome. And this is a one-shot game.
Another number to keep in mind is that the expected value of the Spurs' draft pick is 4.1.
Tankathon has stopped referring to it that way. It’s the mean, or average over a large sample. It’s also the second lowest odds of being our actual pick. Only 7th has lower odds. You really shouldn’t “expect” pick #4.
Yup. Expected value might mean something if you wanted to trade the pick before the lottery, so as to condense all possibilities into an actual number (and even then I'd argue against it, since nominal order doesn't actually capture the value of each pick, which can vary greatly from class to class, so you should use a custom value per pick each draft instead).
Still, if you take a reductionist approach and want to come up with more intuitive descriptions, it'd be something like "he have 1 chance in about 7 of landing Wemby" and "we have about even odds of picking 4 or higher, and 5 or lower".
All in all, I think the more useful approach is to simply... get on our knees and start praying. I don't have God's number, but if we spam him badly enough he might get our message

Expect the worst, hope for the best. I know my heart is going to stop multiple times tomorrow night. Drinks on timvp if we win the #1 pick!
Come on. Just this one time.
If this fails then Boozer.
Pick 7 for me.
Here are my rolls this morning:
6th, 7th, 3rd, 4th
bruh
