Tuesday night LeBron James and the Miami Heat begin the NBA finals against the young upstart Oklahoma City Thunder.
It's been a riveting NBA playoffs so far this year, but I think this series may end up being a dud.
I've got the Thunder winning in 5 games.
Hey MS, your predicative abilities never cease to amaze. Hope you didn't bet too much on that near sweep by the Thunder.
The thing is, I wasn't going to post here that I had the Thunder winning it all.
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.
