Never seen so much excitement to find out the Celtics are selecting 6th-8th. It's a 100% certainty. Danny Ainge screwed this up by keeping Rondo and those garbage players such as Bass and Humphries that helped won a few games

When is the official drawing for ping pong balls today?
tomorrow - 8:00 pm EDT I believe

That's when they do the drawing in private?

I believe the private drawing is done just an hour or two before the TV presentation.

If they delayed any longer there would probably be more risk that the result would get out, spoiling the show.

^I don't recall it happening but am curious do the results ever leak via twitter or the internet before the presentation? I'll probably stay off the internet I like the suspense and thrill of it. Here's to a better result than last time.

Can we send Wyc and Tommy on a plane out to California or somethin to reverse jinx everything and get them as far away as possible? ;D  >:(

Thank Danny Ainge for not blowing it up when the Celtics are picking outside the top 5. Not looking forward to tonight.

It's a large market and it would take attention off the Clippers.   Could happen, I hope not.

I actually believe the team witnesses for the lottery drawings all have to stay in the secret room until the televised event is over. I recall a cutaway in the lottery show last year where all the witnesses were chilling in front of a camera looking awkward as they already knew the results and couldn't do anything.

Just 9 hours and 10 minutes to go! And then we finally slowly start to see the dominos fall this off season!

I am so mentally prepped for number 6. That is the most likely outcome mathematically by far.

Anything else is a bonus.

I am not prepared to not have a top 3 pick. If we land at 5-8 I am going to be so upset. All i want this summer is Parker Wiggins Embid or Love. But i have a good feeling about tonight. Think positive folks!

Ditto. I believe we are getting a top three pick. It's our turn to have the lottery do us well.

Trying to temper my expectations after the '07 debacle where I had convinced myself that the Celtics were getting a top 2 pick. 

I'm DVR'ing the lottery. On the fence right now about shutting my phone off during my softball game (when the lottery will be happening) and waiting to find out until after I get home and watching it on DVR.  The good news is that living in Chicago, I doubt anyone is going to be talking lottery during my game since the Bulls aren't involved.  Who knows, though.   

I'm not sure I can do it.   The temptation to check my phone might be too great.
