I am watching the NBA draft lottery drawing on NBA.com

Wow is it boring. I always thought people who say the lottery is rigged are fools, and this seems to confirm that. As you would expect, there is no regularity to the numbers that come up. It is also not acceptable for TV watching. The Celtics numbers came up for the first 3 drawings. Painfully slow. What they actually show on TV is much more entertaining.

The basketball gods really wanted us to get the #1 pick.  The 1st 3 attempts came up Boston.  If you wanted to put this on tv, you could make it a bit more exciting.  You'd definitely want to randomized the combinations so there would be more suspense.

Imagine Jerry the King trying to hype every step of the drawing.
