Luck of the Irish

Most NBA fans counted the Celtics out  going into the playoffs. And righfully so. They hobbled to the finish, losing 7 of their last 10 games. Not the way you want to charge into the post season. But their aging vetrans discovered the fountain of youth while Rondo fully came into his own. Now it's hard not to call the Celtics the favorite going forward.

I bet a 22-ounce microbrew that the Celtics would beat the Magic, and I'm looking forward to cashing in. Of course, like everyone else, I wasn't confident with my pick. I just knew that if Orlando's role players went cold, the men in green had a great chance. And that's exactly what happened.

I"m embracing my one shining moment and hoping they don't completely fold from here on out - I would hate to have to take the blame for a late season jinx. So let's go green. Oh yeah, I also hope the Lakers get whooped.
