I was at the game last night. The Celtics won. Makes sense. Green has never been more “in” than this year. As I predicted, the Battle of Bunker Hill anniversary (233 years ago, yesterday) really did play a role.

Kobe Bryant is using the Law Of Attraction. But not to his advantage. I don’t usually analyze N.B.A. topics but this one caught my attention and I couldn’t resist. The universal Law of Attraction says that you get what you really, really want. And … you get what you really, really don’t want. So, Kobe, why not focus on what you want? Rob Radford of the Boston Herald points out something about Kobe’s attitude and behavior with his teammates during Game 2 of the N.B.A. Finals, that I believe could determine whether the Lakers win or lose.
