We all need more good wishes, and some more optimism around here.
I'm going to take it in the spirit it was intended, which was charitable (and from a guy who's probably a Nuggets fan).

I've said it before (I probably haven't actually said it), but j-man is the GJGE kid all growed up. There is no arrogance or malice in him. He's no jinx.
I don't know guys. After he posted this we find out Embiid is banged up and might miss some games.
Now extend those voodoo powers to the Fakers and we might have somthing.

When GS loses to SAC, Durant pulls up lame at the end of the 4th quarter with a hammy and is out the rest of the playoffs, MIL loses one more to MIA, and LeBron dies of dysentery, I’ll believe it.
I gotta admit I though about it after Lebron made that layup. I thought about it. Would never post it. But since j-man did, and I like j-man, I had this shirt back when....
And then Jimmy Butler gets in a car accident and the judge sentences him to be the other guy's butler, causing him to miss the rest of the playoffs.
J man I respect you but
You don't tug on Superman's cape
you don't piss into the wind
you don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
and you don't fuck with Celtics play-off mojo
BEAT the HAWKS

If you're not a Celtics fan, can you jinx the Celtics? If you can, that seems like an easy loophole for opposing fans to exploit.
I have some case history with this. My Yankee fan sister in law tried to break Clay's no-hitter one weekend up in the mountains, and my brother was legit ripshit. I cut off his evil glare by reassuring him that Yankee fans can't jinx the Sox. It was a bluff, but apparently it is true.
edit: Pedro game 6 in 2004 also serves as evidence.
Nope. For the same reason that you can't jinx the Celtics even if you are a Celtics fan.
(Narrator: It's 'cuz there's no such thing.)
I was in the Sporting Club, a huge downtown NYC sports bar, (long since gone) for Game 6 86 WS. LSS, after taking shit all night, with 2 outs in the 10th, I received congratulations from Mets fans for the Sox WS victory.
I looked at them in horror, and protested, the games not over I pleaded, but it was too late, the MF Met fans had cast their evil, intentional or not.
The rest is too painful to recount.
@j-man is his own category and this thread is not a jinx.
It's like when a fan of another team in a bar says "your Cs are gonna win it this year, I can just feel it."
Most of us just shrug and say "I hope so, I'm optimistic but you never know." Or some such thing.
When another Cs fan declares that a game is won before it isn't or that it's "our year," that's a different kettle of fish.
Then again, G38 did the whole "Why Not Us?" thing in 2004 and we know how that turned out.
And @bankshot1, I was watching game 6 with Sox and Mets fans, and one of my fellow Sox fans was taking bows prematurely. THAT was insanity. But that is still different than a random fan, not someone rooting for your team's opponent.

Right game 7. I can't believe that I got those confused. Big lead. Still was nervous.
Nervous? I was dying. And still livid at Sveum for getting Damon gunned down at home in the first.
J man is a good man and deserves the benefit of the doubt, but tempting the wrath of the God's to crush our hoops and dreams, is a flagrant 1 in sport's superstition, even if unintentional
And need I remind this august gathering who is also looking for Banner 18?

Thought this would be a good reverse jinx. Love you j-man, but it seems that was not the case. Got to burn the Chucky doll.
