Cleveland at Toronto


Real Deal

How many dunks have the Cavs missed tonight? I've counted at least 3 from Hollins and now Gee blows a wide open one,

 

The Raptors are really going to have to pull out all the stops to lose this one. Is it possible to get Kleiza down to the ACC and regain his position as Tank Commander? The Raptors are looking like they need him right about now.

I didn't watch much of the game because of the Indians/Red Sox, but I saw the flagrant by Johnson on Graham. That was so stupid how Johnson smiled after blatantly smacking him in the face.

 

T-Wolves now w/the worst record...ugh...

Also Wolves won the season series so cavaliers own the tie breaker.

 

There is no tie breaker for the lottery. If two teams finish with the same record, they both get the average of their respective positions in the lottery. If neither one of the two teams win the lottery, a coin flip is then done to determine who picks first and who picks second between the two teams that have the same record.

 

If that doesn't make sense (because even as I read it I realize it doesn't sound too clear), here is an example.

 

If Cleveland and Minnesota both finish the season tied for the worst record, you take the average number of ping pong balls that they can recieve so it would be 250 + 199 = 449. You divide that by 2 to get 244.5 balls for each team, but since 249 is an odd number, a coin flip will be done and whoever wins the coin flip would get 245 balls while the loser would get 244 balls. Should neither one of Cleveland or Minny end up with a top 3 pick, whoever won that coin flip for the extra ball would then get the 4th pick and the loser would get the 5th pick.

I never heard of that but then again I don't think it has happened recently. Thanks for clearing it up.

It hasn't happened between the two worst teams in a while (at least as far as I know), but it has happened recently.

 

Toronto and Memphis where in this circumstance last season as both were tied for the 12th worst record and split the 13 ping pong balls available to them. Memphis won the coin toss and picked 12th because of that (and had 7 balls compared to Toronto's 6)..

 

In 2007, the Blazers and T'Wolves both finished with a 32-50 record, which was 6th worst in the league and they split the chances of 6th and 7th place, which resulted in 53 combinations for each (63 for 6th and 43 for 7th).

 

I'm sure there are more cases as of late as well, but these were the first two that came to mind.

He made a play on the ball and Graham overreacted, that is why he was laughing. He didn't even intend on fouling him.
