    I assumed when they said 7:30, they meant EST, which of course makes it 6:30 our time.

    Wow, man I was clicking on that thing forever trying to get us out of that 14th spot. Never could get it to happen. hahaha Toronto moved up to #2 twice, I thought that might be a good thing for us in the Bosh quest.

    They already know before the cards are flipped, right? I'll be watching to see if Aaron is smiling before the draft order is announced.

    Can't judge it by his smile.

    A smile means we might have lost and John Wall isn't taking over the point position.

    A frown means we did win.

    I'm on the other side of the earth. But a draft with almost 99% sure it's a 14th pick is so exciting to me that I can't sleep and wait for the draft. Even the GM of the team will not watch it live. Shxt. I think I'm really sick.

    Is Donatas Motiejunas a good player, I don't follow the NCAA basketball, so I figured I would ask here. Jonathon at the chron has us drafting Daniel Orton from Kentucky, but like I said, not sure whose good in the draft. Any info would be appreciated.

    Do the representatives know? "They" know, but who is they? I recall that there are some representatives who watch the actual ping pong balls, but is it the same as the person on stage??

    Who knows?

    As an aside, I'm not a math major, but I keep hearing about how they have approximately a 1.8% chance of landing a top 3 pick, which I guess adds the probabilities of landing the #1, #2 or #3 picks. But is that how it would work, probabilistically? Or would their chance of landing a top 3 pick simply be, at most, their chance of landing the #3 pick, which is what, 0.59% or something like that? That is, mathematically, is it additive? Cause each pick is drawn separately....

    If the rockets get a top 3 pick, we do not need a talk for getting James, just getting Bosh could be enough. Perhaps James will ask Morey to come to Houston if we get a top 3 pick.

    Guys, c'mon. We've got a 2% chance of moving up. That's not even worth watching the lotto for.
