"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[Donuthole]

Man, SloanHater just getting embarrassed in this thread.

Meanwhile, pelagius, lurking in the background an censoring bad words, could swoop in with a table and kill this entire discussion in a heartbeat. He likes playing with his food, I guess.

Harris averaging 13.1/5.6 in the 2nd half (before tonight) after posting 9.1/4.5 in the 1st half. Where would this team be if 2nd half Harris showed up for the full year?

If Golden State has the 7th slot, then you still have to account for their possibilities of moving into the top 3. Even if a team 8-14 lands the #1 pick, there is nothing stopping GS from landing the #2 or #3 pick with one of their number combinations. Seems kind of relevant to a discussion about the probabilities of the GS pick moving out of the lottery.

What in the hell are you talking about?

If GS lands in the top 3 the Jazz don't get the pick. What part of top 7 protected don't you understand moron? In this scenario it doesn't matter what happens with any of the top 7 teams.

I simply laid out the best case scenario and highest probability for the Jazz IF
GS has the seventh pick and the Jazz are hoping for it to drop out of protection.

I'll make it simple for you retards. If the top 2 picks go to the two worst team, ie the teams with the most combo chances, that leaves 82 chances out of 551 for a 8-14 team to land the #3 pick and move everyone down a spot. Any other combination, say the #4 and #5 seeds get the top 2 picks, decreases the probability dramatically that the draft order will shift in the Jazz's favor.

Learn some basic math.

Child, please. Weren't you also mocking me in Dec. when I said the Jazz would finish above .500 and make the playoffs?

So what you're saying is that Golden State's chances of falling out of the top 7, assuming they finish the season at 7, are impacted both by the chances of a team moving up from 8-14 into the top 3, as well Golden State own chances of moving into the top 3.

I'm glad you're saying this, even if it is only because I pointed it out to you.

Yeah, so far you're 0 for 2, looking like you're going to go 50/50. However, since your statement was that they were going to do both, you're actually going to go 0 for 1. But brag about it if it helps you feel smart.

Again, what the fuck are you talking about? If GS has the seventh pick their odds at the top 3 have no influence on moving them down a spot? Should I type slower for you?

You should probably read slower. Utah's chances of getting Golden State's pick are impacted by both the probability of an 8-14 team moving into the top 3 as well as the probability of Golden State moving into the top 3. Both factors--not one or the other--will determine whether Utah gets the GS pick.

You never took a basic stats class in college did you? GS's odds at moving to the top 3 have no influence on the discussion.

How many different ways do I have to say it for your simple mind to understand? Best case scenario 14% chance the pick moves down. Worst case scenario 0%

Golden State's odds of moving into the top 3 have no influence on whether or not Utah get's Golden State's pick? To quote one of my favorite posters:

What part of top 7 protected don't you understand, moron?

Admittedly, it's not an exact quote, as I added the comma; incorrect punctuation bugs me.

They have 0 influence.

How many times do I have to say it? In the best case scenario the #1 and #2 seeded teams are taken out of the equation. If teams #1 or #2 are left in the discussion the probability drops significantly that a team 8-14 can move up to #2 or #3. Teams 3-14 are factored into the equation as teams with a shot at the #3 pick. 82 combined chances from teams 8-14 out of 551 total chances from teams 3-14. I'm assuming with a calculator you can do division? Perhaps?

I never thought highly of you, but you just moved into the retarded child of incest born in a dumpster category with Jacob based on this simple exchange. I hope you feel good about proving how fucking terrible you are at simple math.

You should have saved face when you realized you were wrong.

[Donuthole]

They have 0 influence.

Excellent. So if Golden State moves into the top 3, that move--the move which is a result of a mathematical probability--will have no impact on whether or not the Jazz receive Golden State's pick?

Brilliant. Keep the insults coming.

my hell dude, its already been proven if gs up at 7 there is a 25% chance they get bumped down to 8 or 9. You didn't even respond to the article that said the exact same thing.

I was wrong before when I said Hater was bad at math. I think reading is the real problem.

[MarkGrace]

Math, reading, basketball prognostications, discussing City Creek, what is SloanHater not bad at?

[MarkGrace]

With the whole Wet Willy(ie?) incident I've been curious since it happened what set West off. I somehow missed G-Time taking the first swipe at him. Pick up Hayward as soon as the clip starts or you'll miss it.

Love me some G-Time.
