Thoughts on the Clips Game

« on: February 03, 2013, 06:07:38 PM »

Just got back from the Garden from my first "in person" game of the year. Also my daughter's first game ever (which was really fun).

- You could see from an early stage that Pierce had his legs under his jumpers for the first time in a while. Even on an early miss he had a lot more arc on it.

- Maybe Terry's best game as a Celtic. He was very much under control and hit a ginormous shot.

- It was cool to see Grant Hill one last time. One of my all time favorites, but man, he is beyond done.

- Club seats are worth the extra $$$, but a knucklehead sitting in front of you can suck the joy out of any priced seat (we moved and after the 1st and enjoyed the rest of the game).

- Lee looked super shaky

- Jordan is impressively bouncy in person

- Crowd was pretty much dead except when the Jumbotron told them when to make noise.

- a guy from the crowd just missed winning a car on a rimmed out half court shot. I have no idea how you get that close under pressure with no practice!

- Odom is still a jerk, just a less talent one now.

- Griffin seems smaller in person, and Pierce always seems bigger.

- Loved showing my daughter all of the banners!

Awesome, Redz. That's pretty epic for a first game!

Lee should not play the 4th. Just keeps losing the ball when he gets passes down low or misses shots.

AB has to make his shots. Still a super key defense in the final minute

I'm in NYC so I'll probably see a Knicks-Celtics or Nets-Celtics sometime.

glad you had fun! it was a great game, but too bad we almost lost another huge lead again $:-\$

man, I just graduated from college with no job yet...so I can't be blowing money for Celtics games

thats such a bummer because if I had the money I definitely would went with my friend to watch the Heats game, He said the top seats were 200 bucks a piece!!!

I'm determined to watch a game this season in person!!!

check the resell sites close to game against non-prime teams. There a bunch of seats on stubhub yesterday. The price dropped $20 in an hour on the ones I got yesterday. They probably would gave gone lower but I had a two hour drive and couldn't wait it out.
