Celtics double-hex anti-jinx

Ok, serioulsy. Mr. Kriegel, what do you have against Boston?

You KNOW that when you title your little opinion piece,"Boston may have just put Finals away" and write stuff like, "The Lakers hadn't merely given up a lead (a record-breaking 24-point lead at that). They had lost the series. You could not help but think that. No team has ever won the NBA championship after falling behind 3-1 in the Finals." that you invoke the wrath of the gods who unleash a tidal wave of hexes, curses and other unpleasantries against Boston. You know this like you know the sun will rise tomorrow.

And as it stands now, Rob STILL has deep, agonized, pained, heart-breaking facial expressions at the mere mention of the words "Patriots" or "Tom Brady". And I'm clueless as to what ritual I need to perform on his Tom Brady jersey to remove what is obviously ALL THE BLAME for the Patriots choking what would have unquestioningly been the greatest football season of all time.

So if the Celtics keep performing this gut-wrenchingly hot and cold, then end up losing the Series in some catastrophic fashion, I may be on the 24-hour Rob suicide watch.

Look, it's hard being the other half to a Boston sports fan. Could you cut a girl some slack and go write some sloppy, ass-kissing, Kobe-reach-around peice about how the Lakers are going to make a glorious comeback? Please?

Update: Celtics won. Thank god. Now I can go back to not giving a shit about basketball.
