Default Curse of the Clippers / NBA Opener

How many others thought "Well, he's doomed" when Blake Griffin was taken #1 by the Clips?

Personally, I get real confused this time of the year. Hockey opens before basketball, and both open before the World Series is over.

Biggest question mark in the league is Cleveland. Followed by Boston, wondering how Garnett comes back. Of course, it'd be nice to see the Lakers glide under radar and repeat. But after my NFL pick, that could be a curse of its own...

There is no mystery to Cleveland.

If the Arizona Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox have taught us anything it's that curses can be overcome.

If the Cubs and the players on the cover of Madden video games have taught us anything it's that curses can still go on.

Reassuring. The Clippers only have another 50 or so years to wait. Honest, though, it's a bad deal when sports books offer a line on your #1 pick getting injured...

I think for Blake Griffin, it could be the EA Sports cover curse since he's on the cover of the upcoming NCAA Basketball video game.

I'm just elated NBA Season Pass if free through the weekend on DirecTV. Let's me watch something other than the aweful Yankees! Too bad the free trial is not as long as the NHL's!
