People always ask where my seat is at these games. There's no doubt it's great to be there. It's exciting, intense and sometimes amazing. The new Boston Garden is surprisingly loud. They don't do as much during timeouts as the Cavs do — there are times they JUST PLAY MUSIC, which is shocking in this day and age. Anyway, my seat at the Garden is actually in the stands. Behind the baseline, but not very high. It's a very good seat. Here's a view of late in the game when the Cavs had a possession as they attempted a miracle comeback. Celtics fans were getting a little uneasy at this point in time:
That's right … that's what I saw of a Wally Szczerbiak three-point shot. In the corner of the picture is the corner of my computer screen. Then there's this view from the second quarter when the Celtics were starting their comeback:
Moral of the story: They're great seats until something … well … actually happens and all the Celtics fans decide to stand up. Thing is, the fans on the other side of the court did not stand up at these times. Makes a person wonder if there's some sort of conspiracy going on here.
