Is it just me or is this lottery show just painful to watch?
I just turned it on and it still hasn’t started!  Geez

If I hadn't just mowed the lawn, I would go and mow the lawn.

Idk how I was able to handle it last year with all this waiting, to see if we'd land #1 or get screwed out of Top 3  :P

That's probably the Suns, Grizz, Hawks, Mavs fans right now, etc

I really hate how they announce the picks.  Instead of this reverse order BS, they should show us the actual lottery as each ball is picked.  After each ball, they could pause for 10 seconds, and have an updated probability of each team getting that pick given the balls that have been selected.  Would provide much more intrigue then us just waiting to see if the Lakers picks is there at 10,11 or 12, etc..
that isnt how it works. it is a combination of balls and there are frequent redraws when a team gets its range of numbers more than once. it would be boring.
Yes, it is how it works, other than me mentioning the re-draws.  Although to me, that would be exciting.  Nothing about this is boring.  Seeing your odds go up and down gradually is more exciting than just seeing that you didn't move up.

Can't lose to Elton Brand ... he hired away my cleaning lady once.  I used to live in LA and my cleaning lady happened to be Elton's cleaning lady.  When he signed with Philly he offered her to move with him and work full-time for him, and she jumped at the chance ... leaving me searching for a new cleaning lady.  LOL.  Payback please!
