When Greg Oden fractured his kneecap the other night, I had two thoughts; this dude might be cursed, and get ready for a bunch of columns on how the Celtics nearly drafted this guy.
Chris Forsberg of ESPN Boston and Julian Benbow of the Globe delivered such columns. Yawn.
The Celtics are thriving now, for the third consecutive season. Why waste your time wondering what if? It's that pre-2004 Red Sox doom-and-gloom mentality.
I'd rather read a look-into-the-future column on how the Celtics will match-up with the Lakers in the Finals. We're winners now. Let's start acting like it.
