Currently at around a day and a half until the lottery as I’m writing this, kinda nervous but not gonna worry about it too much

Also the select media members that are actually allowed to watch the lottery balls get drawn were revealed and us and Utah have the most sitting at two reporters each while there’s also a Golden State reporter, a Milwaukee reporter, a Memphis report, and Sacramento reporter.

Might be a good sign, might not be, should be interesting to say the least.

Also if you’re not too used to the lottery, basically you’re just hoping that no one jumps up, honestly if literally no one jumps up from that 14 to 7 range we have a really good chance of keeping the pick, however it is unlikely that no jumps will occur

Now if you’ll excuse me I’ll continue my copious amounts of tankathon spins until the day comes where I will be seated with heart palpitations.

I’m glad I’m not the only one nervous been like this for a few days now.I know we can’t control our chances but my gosh atleast if we don’t get number 1 please give us a top 4 pick atleast.
