I know that if the Knicks do win it, all hell will break loose with fans, "experts", scribes, and everyone in between. Somehow people still havent gotten over the Knicks winning it in '85 even though we've seen teams with varying degrees of mathematical odds get the #1 spot (even the Magic in '93 when they just missed the playoffs). I'm bracing myself, for NY envy/hate.
I think you're right but the response to give is that we've been in the lottery all freakin' decade and we haven't moved up ahead of our projected spot even once.
