As such, a lottery update is in order.

I feel the need to mention that even in these situations where losing has an obvious benefit, I never root for the Kings to lose. These kids need wins, and I'll feel much better if some on-court chemistry and defensive resistance grows over the next 20 or so games. But I will certainly be rooting for the lottery "contenders" to win their own games. Let's go Raptors! Let's go Wizards! Let's go Pistons and Cavs and Warriors and Blazers! WOOO!
