1) today i got offered two awesome celtics tickets and cannot make the game due to prior commitments. i hope the ticket karma i get out of that carries me through to later games. seriously, floor for 100? at a playoff? yar. it's all good, i'll be watching the game regardless.
2) the other night i pulled the rockstar move and made my way to td banknorth as soon as i hopped off a sharply delayed flight. lucked out on a balcony seat, at first, with two seats to the right of me. the game was pretty painful to watch, but nothing can compare to the pain of a 2 seat wide man squeezing into the seat beside you. so, i'd paid for 25% of my seat, because i was crushed up attempting to avoid his body heat, belly roll, and giant thigh. i felt kind of bad for the guy until i realized that it was him who reeked. smelled like he hadn't bathed for 2 days. nearly vomited. add a beer spilled on my back from the drunk chick 2 seats up and i was in a FANTASTIC mood.
then lebron flopped on the foul and cassell got called for a flagrant which was quite possibly the biggest BS i'd seen that night. then i REALLY wanted to hurl. ugh.
3) i'm really proud that the celtics defended lebron as well as they did. i'm glad he was having an off night. hey, i hope he has a series worth of "off nights." i need ray allen and paul pierce to have awesome offensive nights though - defense wins games, but offense is pretty integral to the mix.
i worry about going to cleveland though. earlier in the season there was a game that was an offense lover's dream, but a NIGHTMARE on defense. i hope that doesn't happen again.
4) eddie house, where are you? sam cassell is great and all, but everyone knows you're a shooting guard in a PG's body.
5) who would have thought that ilgauskas would be the man of game 1 for cleveland?
6) kg and rondo carried that game. although, i wish i'd seen more from rondo in the second half. it was cassell time, i suppose. i loved the collective held breath in the garden right after he released a long 2 pointer in the 4th quarter. also - when posey was about to make his 2 foul shots, the garden got as quiet as i'd ever heard it. people were actually shushing drunken massholes, and they were listening!
7) speaking of drunken massholes, i think i've about had my fill of them. 2 seats down from stinky cheese man sat a younger guy screaming slurs and ...erm... rude names at celtics for not getting the shots when he wanted them. who are these people? what is their problem? you stand by your team. if you are down by 1 point, you don't say, "eff you you suck." there's bibby's bandwagoner right there. ugh.
go c's! more soon, yard.
