    Those of us who were with us last year remember when we created this thing and it got huge buzz around the web.... NBATalk is using it as well.

    The question I have... should I start doing the lotto recaps each night as well? I had fun with those but some might interpret it as giving up (they're like the inverse of the real recaps).

    I vote for YES, I liked the Lotto recaps and I didn't think it was a sign of us giving up.

    last year I got it the 1st time, as well, and never did it again. didn't help, though.

    Besides, we would have just traded Kenyon Martin for Collier and 2 draft picks rather than one, anyhow.

    oops... mentioned this in the other thread too. [​IMG]

    You should do the lotto recaps, they're hilarious. Besides, the Rockets are alot closer to the 12th spot in the draft than they are the 8th seed in the playoffs. Maybe you could even have two different links an "I Believe!" link and an "I disbelieve" link just so the pouty poopey pants won't think you're negative or anything.

    Well, first time I got the third pick going to the Rox...and Id be happy with that. I would also be happy with some lottery recaps...they were very entertaining last year I thought. Your not giving up...just offering a bright side to the end of the season.

    It seems safe to me... I didn't get in the top 3 until the 37th refresh. [​IMG]

    The Lotto Recaps last year were great fun, but mostly because we could actually hope to move up in the draft. I remember hoping for as high as 5th or 6th at some point. But this year, we'll probably will stay 13th, with some chance to get 12th and, at very best, 11th. We can't get any better than that. So, it's not much of a race.

    And, don't let anyone fool you: Lotto Recaps means you're giving up! [​IMG]

    Wow only 31 clicks to get the top pick for the rockets. Maybe David Stern will let us keep redoing the lottery like this until we get it where we like it!

    My sources tell me that the Bill Kennedy disaster ensured that the Rockets will mysteriously get one of the top 3 picks. No worries.

    Pouty poopey pants here. In keeping with the positive outlook theme, why not call the two links "I Believe in Playoffs!" & "I Believe in Balls!"? [​IMG] Uhh...well, maybe not.

    Something is weird.. on my first 8 clicks, Houston was the #13 pick(normal), now on my 9th click I got 1. Denver, 2. Houston, 3. Seattle! I wonder the odds of that happening.

    Question: What is the highest season record to ever get a 1,2, or 3 slot in the lottery?
