Wow what can I say about this game. This was one of the best Basketball games I have been to in my life. I won't say it was better then the playoff game I went to last year but it was damn close. It was not a Nationally televised game but still a lot of eyes were on the outcome of this game. After all the Boston Celtics are the best team in Basketball right now. Not to mention they had KG, Allen and Pierce all suited and starting. We however were short one Captain Jack due to an injury from the night before in Utah. No doubt about it this was to be a hard fought victory if we could even pull it off. The first two minutes had been horrible it looked like we were going to be skunked. By the half though it was a close game again and damn exciting. Baron shook off the slump he has been in lately and looked like himself at the season start. Monta was just amazing from his speed to his no fear attitude and never give up on he play work ethic. Pietrus got the start in place of Captain Jack and I seriously thought it was due to us wanting to trade him. He has been seeing so much play time latley my only rational for it was we had been shopping him. But the trade deadline has came and gone so it either didn't work out or Nelly honestly wants to increase his role. I think he was shopping him personally.
Anyway back to this record breaking game. Yes thats right we broke the attendance record for a game in California yet again. It seems like this is the third or fourth game I have been to that we set an attendance record at. I have no clue where and how they are fitting more people in. In the standing room section you could see it was packed. The place was insane just jam packed with fans. Surprisingly a lot of Celtic fans as well. I am sure a lot of them have been die hards for years now. But I also bet with the recent good fortune of Bostons Baseball and Football teams you got a lot of Bandwagon Bostonian wanna be's. To each his own though. This is Dub country and there ain't no Country for old Celts round here. Anyway the yelling back and forth was passionate among the fans as it was a nail biter all the way down to the end. In the end Baron "Boom Dizzle" Davis ended up winning it for us right at the buzzer. With .3 seconds left he put up a 20 foot jumper to break the deadlock and send us fans home with a smile. Not much more to say other then "WOW I love this game".
