Mini Celtics v. Hawks Game 7 TR
Had to go to post-graduation brunch with parents and girlfriends parents, went to Masa and had awesome brunch. Look it up. Banana-stuffed Texas Toast, BBQ Mac and Cheese w/ Chorizo, Stuffed Mexican Omelets. Mmm... Went to game and started off in Section 310, Row 10. Stayed their for a quarter, spied our upgrade seats.
Noah's Quick Guide to Seat Upgrades:
1. Don't bother looking for good seats in beginning of game, even game 7. People get there late.
2. Don't bother looking during timeouts or within 5 minutes of quarter ending.
3. Find a section where the ticket usher is a woman (less likely to stop you), old (less likely to see you), or young/minority (will be watching the game).
4. Move with confidence, swiftness, and have your hands full.
So we spot the perfect storm of seats. Open from tip to near end of 1st quarter, right on the aisle, being guarded by a woman who looked like a Golden Girl.
Welcome to Section 21, Row 6:
Some highlights:
-Rondo getting creamed. Close to a riot. Think I lost my voice and got a hernia. Long after everyone else had calmed down and Williams had left the court, my brother was still screaming "Send Scalabrine in to Break Johnson's nose!!!!!" and Scalabrine heard, turn around and stood up and did the superman "pull the suit off move", laughed, and sat back down. Classic.
-People chanting "USA!" when Zaza was shooting free throws.
-Guy next to me: My wife doesn't like UFO and I have to drive home, you wan this beer. Score the free $7 beer.
-Big Baby dunk and flex.
-Watching Garnett watch Gino.
