Before the playoffs began, 16 of us at work filled out our 'brackets' with a winner-take-all prize of $320.
Only 2 people picked the Thunder to win, me and one other guy, but I amassed more points through the early rounds, so if OKC wins, I win the pot.
When OKC got by San Antonio, I really thought they'd be home-free against the Heat, who were winning, but not really dominating.
So, I decided to jinx myself by posting my OKC prediction.
When I do that it has the same effect as the Sports Illustrated cover curse.
OKC has got to get game 4. They're still in decent position if they can.
I liked the Sonics and I like the Thunder.
I'm not vested in either the Thunder or the Heat, so I hope the Thunder pulls it off and you win the pool. Personally, I'd have a hard time betting against a team with LeBron James going out in 5, if at all. At least the series isn't turning out to be a dud.
Good luck, MS!
