He's hottttt

NO getting Zion after trading AD, and then Dallas getting Flagg after trading Luka. And countless other examples. The rigging is beyond obvious. And Adam Silver is just a terrible commissioner. Teams “tank” because the draft is the only way small market teams can really build a contender. Order the draft based on record like the NFL and be done with it. No one whines about tanking in the NFL. But Adam Silver treats it like a plague that must be completely eradicated.

It’s stupid that one of the worst teams has a coin flip on having a top 4 pick in the first place. Odds designed to help them rig the draft

Of note: this tool predicts Harris will average 9.9 pts at IU and that Dorn will average 8.5 pts at Miami.

The Spurs have picked first for Wemby, Duncan, and David Robinson. At least 2/3 were egregious tank jobs. Yet the league punished the Pacers for not even fully tanking this year, in reality what was just accepting being bad in an obvious down year. NBA is a shitshow run by r*****s.

I'm not well-versed in how odds are calculated, but when I saw the Pacers' chances of keeping the pick were only 52%, I knew it was gone. That's basically a coin flip.

This, and minor league baseball.

Roger Clemens Sokolov, he can bring the heat

Somebody I think ran the math and basically the results of the draft being not rigged are incredibly unlikely. I haven’t seen the data but it was something mind blowingly impossible

Yea the alleged chilled envelope was the first draft conspiracy theory I can think of. There is a chance it was true…

It was 6-2 PU after 5 innings. We scored 5 in our 6th but the PUkesters scored 2 of their own and added 3 in their 7th. We picked up 1 run in the 8th but return to Bloomington winless in West Laffy. Final score 11-8. For the weekend, PUke scored 27 runs against us. Today, PUke had 16 hits off 5 Hoosier pitchers - 9 of them were for extra bases. One more weekend to suffer through.

The NBA lottery is the 1 thing in sports I’m completely confident is rigged. Not every year, but whenever the League office sees value in a specific outcome. I’m been telling people for months that since the Zubac trade made it top 4 protected the Pacers’ pick would land 5th, if it was top 3 they would have landed 4th, because Silver wanted to make it as publicly clear as he could while maintaining deniability that if he considered what you were doing tanking you weren’t gonna get paid off. Whenever he’s asked about it, and he’s too smart to do it though I’d give anything if he did, I’d love to hear Pritchard reply, “Yeah, 5th. That’s as subtle as a kick in the teeth, huh.”

Yep. Then Duncan. Why we couldn’t get the same treatment idk?

Agreed. Was it the Ewing draft that started the BS?

They don’t show the ping pong balls live for a reason. Fixed!

There is no league or sports organization that’s a bigger crock of **** than the NBA. About as real as wrestling

Totally predictable. Knew it was going to be #5 once they reached the top 10.

What a joke.

They got #5 and it goes to the Clippers. They missed it by just one.

This is reference to the website not to you @yogisballin

Yeah, not so much, but 2 things, and this is spinning as positively as I can manage: 1) It was a physical game and though he was pretty clearly the youngest kid on the floor he held up ok. 2) He was 0-3 from the floor but 2 of the misses were jump hooks over each shoulder that looked really good and just didn’t go in. So he has at least some present post game.

At least today, we won't lose by blowing a lead. PUke scored 3 in the 1st inning.

So apparently, according to this website (not sure how accurate it is. Dorns value was 630k vs Harris’ value was 150k https://engine.getthebreakdown.com/?twclid=2e1nvulsfqc7l5q8jth98dmvdo#evaluate?player=Nick Dorn&conf=ACC

Not unhappy with this at all. Compare him to most 18 year old 7 footers and he looks like a good developmental guy that can fill some small gaps early. Agree with the number 4 comment, but at least this guy doesn’t look like a baby giraffe out there. Actually moves pretty good for someone still growing into their body. They’re not all going to be Cooper Flagg.

If I ever find out my brother in law gives his tickets up for when the Colts play them.
