The Boston Celtics play the Atlanta Hawks in a game 7 today. This series was supposed to go 4 games, maybe 5 if Kevin Garnett died, but not 7 games. The game is in Boston, and Boston is 3-0 in game 7's vs. the Hawks, so I think the Celtics will win, but the fact that they could lose today and be eliminated in the first round by the Hawks is crazy. What if one of Boston's big 3 gets hurt? or what if the Hawks play their best game of the season? if either one of these scenarios happens, the Celtics will probably lose, and then they can have the joy of being on the wrong side of the biggest upset in NBA playoff history.
I know that global warming is supposed to change the weather in crazy ways, but it must effect sports as well. That seems to be the only explanation for the Celtics collapse, or maybe the Patriots cheating scandal angered the sports God's so much that all the New England teams will face a curse for years to come. The Pats blew the Super Bowl, Boston doesn't look good, and the Red Sox are doing okay but some of their big stars are under performing or seriously injured, meaning the run of dominance is over unless New Englanders can find a way to appease the angry sports God's. In spite of my general dislike for Boston sports teams, I find myself rooting for the Celtics because Danny Ainge is the architect of the team, and the resurrection of his reputation is gone if the the Celtics lose the series. He went from reviled to loved in one season after pulling off some huge trades that led the Celtics to the biggest single season turn around in NBA history, but that is all pointless if they don't make the NBA finals, or at least the Eastern Conference finals. Anyway, I'm out of theories, go Celtics, and I am out (think Jim Rome).

How do you think the gods are reacting to the way the Jazz played against the Lakers? What can we do to curse them?
