Bad news...

Greek freak is playing and JJ Redick isn't.

 

[Sun Devil Mania]

The Sixers are sure doing their part! They are up 33-10 over the Bucks withe 2:50 left in the first quarter. Come on Heat and Wizards!

Jebus!

I think a Sixers-Cavs Eastern Conference Finals would be pretty damn badass to watch.

 

[Sun Devil Mania]

Sixers up by 31 with a few minutes left in the half. both the Heat and Wizards are losing. Very frustrating for anyone wanting the Bucks pick to convey!

 

[Errntknght]

So the playoff seed doesn't determine draft order? I thought it did. That seems odd that it doesn't and they'd do a coin flip for draft positioning only.

The ties involved in draft order can feature a team in EC vs a team is WC, which of course, isn't resolved by playoff seeding.

 

[Folster]

Both Miami and Washington are losing. Still a lot of time but WTF?

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

The Bucks did their part. The other two games are going to come down to the wire.

We have to thank Orlando if Washington wins because they have limited Gordon's minutes tonight and he was destroying Washington in the first half.

 

[Sun Devil Mania]

The Heat bare going to overtime. Ellington was unconscious in the 4th quarter to bring the Heat back.

 

[Sun Devil Mania]

Wizards about to lose. They have totally sucked over the last two weeks!

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Pathetic, Washington. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[Cheesebeef]

And the Heat win so we lose a slot there.

Great.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Miami is going to win though

 

[Chris_Sanders]

And the Heat win so we lose a slot there.

Great.

That means that they tie right and now we have a 50/50 shot at the pick. If we lose the pick we gain the slot.

So if there was a 3-way tie how would their draft order be determined?

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

So the Suns are guaranteed the 16th pick, and have a 50/50 chance of also getting the 17th pick.

Washington lost. No 3-way tie.

Not sure. If Bucks lose the flip, that puts them at 16, is that right? I thought they couldn’t be higher than the 8 seed.

 

[Cheesebeef]

So the Suns are guaranteed the 16th pick, and have a 50/50 chance of also getting the 17th pick.

Ah.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

If the Heat win the toss on Friday, they get the 16th pick, which goes to the Suns, and the Bucks at 17 doesn't convey.

If the Bucks win the toss, they are at 16, the Suns get that, and the Heat pick the Suns own moves to 17.

The Wizards locked up the 15th pick with their loss.

 

[Sun Devil Mania]

If the Bucks win the coin flip and have the better pick, we will have both the 16th and 17th Picks this year. If Milwaukee loses the flip, we will have this years 16th pick (Suns Pick) and a future Bucks first round pick.

Washington locked down the 15th pick.

 

[GatorAZ]

Washington lost. No 3-way tie.

But if they won?

 

[Mainstreet]

If the Heat win the toss on Friday, they get the 16th pick, which goes to the Suns, and the Bucks at 17 doesn't convey.

If the Bucks win the toss, they are at 16, the Suns get that, and the Heat pick the Suns own moves to 17.

The Wizards locked up the 15th pick with their loss.

It sounds like we are rooting for the Bucks to win the coin flip.
