draft lottery tonight at 7:30pm EST. Will we jump up to #2 or 3? (poll)

I think the Celtics have a better chance at beating HOU/GS in 4 games.

That being said, it's going to be hilarious if the BKN pick drops and CLE ends up picking Trae Young. In the event that happens, I will call the IT/Kyrie trade a slam dunk success (even though I feel that way already).

The % of us jumping to 2 or 3 is predetermined, not sure what's the point of trying to guess here

So you are saying we have a chance?

Seriously though, I am an engineer so the numerical reality is very clear to me but I also understand "anything's possible".

Just remember, statistical chance is not predictive of future events. It just tells you how normal or extreme reality is vs. what has been calculated.

Hoping BKN pick stays where it is or drops!

If the Celtics somehow jump to the 5th pick, you will know the draft lottery is rigged, as that is impossible via the rules of the draft lottery lol

They'll be the most hated team since Golden State Warriors 2016. They'll hate them as much as they hate the New England Patriots and the Dallas Cowboys.

ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE!!!

Because the Lakers finished 10th they can not jump to 4th or 5th, only 1st - 3rd.

It would be insane if the Celtics come away with the #2 or 3 pick tomorrow.

I think our big board is:

1. Ayton
2. Doncic
3. Bagley

Very low chance Ayton is still on the board. I think Ainge takes Doncic over Bagley at #2, despite the positional depth at the G/F. Doncic would be a ridiculous 9th/10th man off the bench, and I think would easily work his way up the depth chart to be our matchup nightmare (not-so) secret weapon.

Bagley might be the pick if Baynes walks.

Either way, it just wouldn't be fair for us to get either of these guys next year.

Percent of people in survey who think we'll go up the lottery = ~70%
Actual percent chance to move up = 2.9%

It's 30% 

And the actual percent to jump up is 2.9% (accounting for the chance to go to top pick). The point still stands... kind of
