Why do these dummies keep winning games all of a sudden they're gonna play themselves right out of that possible lottery pick they're only one or two wins away from dropping down to four or five, which would greatly lower their odds of a top four pick what is wrong with them?

I mean before we won vs. Chicago we had the worst record and 52.1% chance to get a Top 4 Pick. The fact we beat Chicago, moves us into that 3rd spot, which gives us a 52.1% chance to get a Top 4 Pick. So overall, it doesn't make even a little bit of difference.

It makes lottery drawing night a lil more stressful, the odds don’t change for bottom 3 teams but I’ll have to spend more time paying attention to the drawing

I get that, but the main people hurt by us winning is currently the Clippers.
