Reposted on: 2.11.11 1655.19 | | Hollinger's point in the article, though, is that teams that do consistently bad don't really count as cursed. Boston was long considered the most cursed team in Major League Baseball, despite having out-performed many other teams in recent years. What makes a curse isn't just poor performance...it's poor performances periodically broken by great opportunities that are completely blown...it's having a team that can and should win it, but then something goes so inexplicable wrong that sports fans, many of them a superstitious lot, then attribute that to a "curse." So I'd have to agree with Hollinger on his point (as far as the Clippers not being "cursed" goes). | Net Hack Slasher

Instead, they get one of those games that leads people into believing curses. | whatever

WHOOO! I actually turned the game off at the end of the third quarter to see the end of the Louisville blowout on ESPN2. When I woke up, the Cavs replay was on and they just started OT. Made me question if I was actually awake. Then to watch the end where the Cavs just poured it on and then hung on - well, that was just priceless!
Glad to see the Cavs show such heart and determination. Also glad they get 2 days off to recover from that game! | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
