ALMOST JINXED -- by Steve Nadis
Anyone who watched last nights Celtics-Lakers game might have wondered what the heck happened in the fourth quarter. The Celtics were up by 24 points, with only about 7 minutes left (if I remember correctly), and the Lakers managed to cut the lead to two. How did that happen? I'm pretty sure it was my fault. I was watching the game with a friend and fellow blogger, and we were laughing it up when the Celts pushed the lead to 24. Then I said: "Is it too early to bring out the brooms?" As soon as those words came out of my mouth, the Celtics' fortunes began to change. I learned my lesson and will not mention the word "sweep" until the Celtics go up 4-0 in the series.
