There are lots of totally legitimate things to be afraid of in life.
Spiders have way too many eyes and legs not to secretly be evil, and everybody knows the fear that you’ve just forgotten something at the grocery store that was absolutely critical to tonight’s meal. Personally, I find heights, ghost peppers, and the ever-encroaching reality of my own mortality to be paralyzing, and my dog finds our fireplace cover positively terrifying.
But I don’t fear the Miami Heat, and neither should you.
The Celtics haven’t played a meaningful basketball game in almost a month, which has allowed for a healthy period of introspection and relaxation before the fight of our lives begins this afternoon.
