It's extremely comical that in this year's NBA playoffs, two teams with no business being in the playoffs are going to be there. The Boston Celtics complete the quadruple-sport playoff run for the city of Boston by going 36-46 in the regular season. Meanwhile, perennial playoff contenders Utah and Portland are relegated to the Western Conference, where their superior records (and teams), over .500, watch the playoffs this year. The other team is of course the New York Knicks, who made it with a stunning 39-43. There's gotta' be a rule implemented here, right? I mean, that shouldn't happen, right?

And remember my kudos to the Grizzlies? They went 1-6 after that. Call it "The Chris Atkinson Curse."
