There’s only so many times I can do this and get away with it.
Last year, I wrote a moderately inflammatory piece saying that the Boston Celtics were going to sweep the Indiana Pacers, which happened. I looked like a genius, but genius is usually just irresponsible foolishness that got lucky. And we’re going back to the well, bringing out luck-fishing rod and packing plenty of foolishness.
The Celtics are going to sweep the Orlando Magic.
The prediction last year was based on a quasi-spiritual desire for the Celtics to actually be as good as I thought they were.
