Charman212002 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Just a quick question. Indy is currently 1 game ahead of Phily in the standings (i.e. in the draft it's 11-Phily 12-Indy/Hawks) with each playing tonight. Phily plays at Toronto and Indy is home aganist a banged up Washington team. So what happens if Phily wins and Indy loses? By my math they would have identical records. Does deciding 11 or 12 come down to a coin toss or does it go by conference record or something. Either way, 4 and 11/12 is something to be optomistic about heading into the lottery and draft. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lascar78 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 There is a coin flip. They basically split their odds to move up in the lottery. But if neither moves up (and they shouldn't), the winner of the coin flip picks first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exodus Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 It really doesn't matter whether we pick before or after Philly. They won't be looking to draft a pg or a center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted April 18, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 There are no gurentees. They may not want to pass on a talent like Conely and end up trading Miller in the offseason or have him backup Miller for a season to prepare him (like Williams in NJ).

If they did draft Conley then the Hawks should do whatever it takes to get Miller. I don't think it is a coincidence that Philly has been so good since the all-star break.

Johnnybravo4 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 You know of course that BK is not picking Conley. He will end up drafting Acie Law because of his size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBAreject Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I don't remember if I posted about it on here, but after Denver made that trade, I said to my roommate "Andre Miller is a very good PG. Denver got worse with this trade...and Philly did pretty well." That said, I think I also said Denver was stagnant, so they were right to gamble on AI and try to shoot for a title. I guess I fully hedged my bets there, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBAreject Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I have nightmares about coinflips. We can't win them in the lottery, and I can't win them in poker. Isn't QQ favored over AK? Why do I always lose it all in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be so sure, Philly already has Iggy, Carney and Korver.. They have nobody at the 4 unless you consider Joe Smith a long term option there. And i think Iggy is more of a 2 anyway. Korver is probably better as a scorer off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDude Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 i'm confusing myself on one thing...if indy has the 11th spot..is that 11th spot in the lottery so that if they get a higher pick than 10 from the lottery we lose that pick also?

Lascar78 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 yes but that only happens if they get EXTRAORDINARILY LUCKY and get in the top 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarsitySlacker Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I may be wrong, but isn't the first tiebreaker divisional record? Because that would drop Indiana below Philadelphia for sure as of right now. That might be for playoff, or I may have just made it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
