Not 100% sure, but 1951 Knicks 4 points (79-75).

In the modern era, Portland lost by eight (107-95) and Denver lost by ten (91-81).

Jennings is 6'1 and 170, he's pretty thin too. If we're talking about weight, Corey Brewer is 6'9, 185.

The thread title has been bugging me for a while, so I've gone ahead and fixed it. Only a few years overdue.

It was bothering me too, about time someone fixed it. Shame that the thread starters never hang around too long.

What was the original thread title?

Check the title of the post above Andrew's post telling us of the change.

Which team won the first draft pick, while having the worst chances (odds) before the lottery?

Orlando only had a 1% chance in 1993 and they won it. They then drafted Chris Webber and shipped him to Golden State for Penny Hardaway.

How many timeouts are teams allowed per overtime period?

Three.

Didn't they also get 3 future 1st Round picks (or was it 2? I thought it was 3)?

Yes.

June 30, 1993: Traded by the Orlando Magic to the Golden State Warriors for Anfernee Hardaway, a 1996 1st round draft pick (Todd Fuller), a 1998 1st round draft pick (Vince Carter) and a 2000 1st round draft pick (Mike Miller).

And if anyone is wondering how Golden State got the Fuller and Carter picks back in order to draft them, Orlando traded them to the Bullets with Scott Skiles for some less valuable picks:

July 29, 1994: Traded by the Orlando Magic (as a 1996 1st round draft pick) with Scott Skiles and a 1998 1st round draft pick (Vince Carter) to the Washington Bullets for a 1996 2nd round draft pick (Randy Livingston) and a 1998 1st round draft pick (Keon Clark).

And then the Bullets packaged them with Tom Gugliotta in their own trade for Webber:

November 17, 1994: Traded by the Washington Bullets (as a 1996 1st round draft pick) with Tom Gugliotta, a 1998 1st round draft pick (Vince Carter) and a 2000 1st round draft pick (Chris Mihm) to the Golden State Warriors for Chris Webber.

So in the end the Warriors sent Penny and Mike Miller for a season of Chris Webber.

I was watching the playoff matchup between cleveland and washington, it was the 2006 playoffs and the announcer said that somebody nearly signed with the cavaliers, who was it that nearly signed with them?

Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ.

Cleveland could've won a championship there, 'nuff said.

I don't know about that. With him on their team they might have gotten their asses whipped.

How?

Ask the Romans.

I'm sure Jesus can beat the crap out of the Romans at basketball.
