Postseason Celtics vs. Red Sox

First of all, you must understand I love the Celtics and I love the Red Sox. Having grown up in Cambridge, I've been going to games for both since I was little.

Second, you must understand I'm kind of weird. I'm graduating from BYU in August in Math. So sometimes I notice things that go unnoticed by normal people. But I couldn't hold this in any longer.

So check this out:

The postseason Celtics have gone, starting April 29th against Atlanta, 11-7. The Red Sox since that day have gone 16-19.

The nights the Celtics got those wins eleven wins, the red sox went 5-6.

The night the Celtics got the seven losses, the Red Sox went 4-3. They were 4-1 after the Atlanta Series losses.

Now I'm not saying the Celtics can't win if the Red Sox win but I won't be crushed if they lose when they play the Orioles on Thursday because I really want the Celtics to go to the NBA Finals.

I realize I could have done a better statistical analysis on these numbers but I don't think that would have strengthened my point much, if at all, and I've got work early in the morning. So whatever.

There is some small trend here and I know correlation doesn't mean causation but still...

Either way,

Go Celtics!
