I think it's about time that we inaugurate a new sport's curse for the Boston area.
And the new curse is that the Boston Celtics are cursed to win at least 2 titles for every ten year period.
Thus, no matter how badly we perform or no matter how much the refs are crooked (or on the take), there are at least 2 titles in any given ten year slot. Yet, at the same time, no matter how good we actually become, getting that third title is always a challenge!
That's the new curse. Can you live with it?
