True story: I believed the Celtics would beat the Warriors last Tuesday.
Didn’t tweet it. Didn’t predict it in print. Certainly didn’t expect it to be by 33 points. Probably didn’t say it out loud, except maybe to one of our cats. (I work from home often, so they get to hear a lot of the trial balloons on my hot takes.) But I believed it.
I’ll pause here while you say the requisite, “Suuuuuure you did, Finn. I suppose you also know the Powerball numbers?’’
Actually, I don’t know those, but I’m definitely close. I have five: 3, 5, 32, 33, and 44.
