Watch For Jumpers

Getting back to the lottery itself, there's one thing to watch as the drama unfolds that is typically the highlight of the process. Watching for teams that jump up out of the expected draft order. Here's what you need to know:
- If one team jumps into the top 3, then we could finish as low as 3rd
- If two teams jump into the top 3, then we could finish as low as 4th
- If three teams jump up, obviously we're out of the top 3 already and could go as low as 5th.
The moral of the story, jumpers are not our friends.
Here's the order of expected finish in the order in which they'll be revealed. If any of these doesn't come up in turn, they've jumped.Â
- L.A. Clippers
- New Orleans/OKC
- Philadelphia   Â
- Indiana (pick will go to Atlanta if it stays here)
- Sacramento
- New York (pick will go to Chicago)
- Charlotte
- Minnesota
- Portland
- Seattle
- Atlanta (pick will go to Phoenix if it stays here)
- Milwaukee
- Boston
- Memphis

wait, so if one of those teams isnt in that specific order, then there is a jumper right?
so if for example it went clippers, new orleans, then indiana instead of Philly, that means philly jumped into top three right?

yea but don’t worry about memorizing the order, if my memory serves me the minute a team jumps into the top 3 the announcers will make a big deal out of it. Here’s to no jumpers!

ok good, i think the announcers do too, but i want to be sure to not jump off the balcony, so i just want to make sure i understand it all. but it sucks, because you still dont really know, since someone could jump to 3 and we could still be all set, and vice versa…oh well, 45 minutes…

If three teams jump, then it means we will be fifth because Memphis will get to go before us… but that’s not going to happen so we won’t have to worry about it…. right?

Even though I am negative 99% of the time about the Celtics, tonight I am strangely calm…. I think we get #2…

The basketball gods punished all three teams that blatantly tanked. The result was painful but just.
But never fear. We still have Doc Rivers.

I am praying that Kevin McHale actually feels sorry for his old team for this no luck B.S. and trade KG to us for whatever he wants besides Pierce and Jefferson
