    The last time I went to Blazersedge, all they were doing is reposting content from other sources. They didn't have any (or very little) original content. Not sure why you would go there for info if ESPN didn't already have it....

    I can't find anything definitive, but the results from the 2015 draft tiebreaker drawing were posted on nba.com at 5:26pm EST on April 17, 2015.

    From that article:

    .

    I just checked the program listings and there is nothing specific mentioned. Other than just re-airing programs from yesterday, the only new show I see listed is "10 Before the Tip 2017 NBA Playoff Preview" at 4:00pm PST. Perhaps that's when they will conduct the draft tiebreaker drawing.

    OK, last year's draft tiebreaker was announced on nba.com, at 6:12pm on April 15th.

    And again they mention that the drawing was televised live earlier in the day on NBA TV:

    So, the last two years, the results were posted at 5:26pm and 6:12pm EST and the drawing was televised live "earlier in the day". It's weird that they haven't mentioned anything about this years' draft tiebreaker anywhere on the nba.com web site or the NBA TV program listings. It's like they want to force us to watch the rest of their Friday afternoon programming just so we won't miss the 5 minutes we actually care about.

    Just to clarify (I know BNM knows this), April 15, 2016 was a Friday. That's why some of us are expecting it today.

    Yes, so was April 17, 2015. The precedent is to do the draft tiebreakers on the Friday before the playoffs start.

    I just emailed Joe Freeman of the Oregonian and asked if he had called the NBA to find out how the Blazers did in the tie-breakers. I expect to hear back within 72 hours. :)

    Are we sure this is happening today and not tomorrow some time? Or possibly closer to the lottery on May 16?

    Traditionally, it happens the Friday before the playoffs start, but if it happened, or is happening, today, the NBA is keeping it a big fucking secret. I've been checking nba.com regularly and watching NBA TV all fucking day and NOTHING, not even a mention that there are any ties that need to be broken.

    Maybe the NBA realized fans actually care about it so they'll use it to fill in time on lottery night.

    Might be thrown off for the Good Friday and the Easter holiday.

    East Coast observes Easter much more like the Europeans.

    Do you think if we knew somebody significant we'do spend all our time jerking ourselves off in this forum?

    They are probably conducting it in a dark alley unobserved so that they can get practice for rigging the lottery.

    Maybe the thread title should have been "Friday was supposed to be Big!"
    no mention on ESPN.com, nba.com, draftexpress, nbadraft.net, or realgm.

    If you had said it would be "huge" then no one would have expected anything to come of it.
