Calm down people. Jinxing in this sense is about as real as ghosts. Unless the Celtics players read this forum and somehow this post affects their performance (as if there aren’t 100 other similar things that they could read instead), it has 0 impact. So, the next time your team is winning and you say to your friends “this is over,” and they happen to lose, know that you have just witnessed a coincidence, not a jinx. I know that your parents told you that you can do anything... perhaps, just not that. The way to jinx someone is to do it in person, also known as getting in their head. I suspect that professional athletes are, however, difficult to jinx.
In terms of the Celtics beating the Sixers, we’re going to need to stop dribble penetration and rotate to shooters. Horford on Simmons, Baynes on Embiid, rest will contain penetration and rotate to shooters. I think we played them very well in the regular season. We’re missing Kyrie, but I don’t think we need him for this matchup. We can just abuse Redick.
