My two kids love basketball! My son plays on the fifth/sixth grade travel team and my daughter is on the third/fourth Rec. team. My son is a die-hard Celtic fan; and my daughter is a Laker fan. We have watched almost all of the Celtic games on TV this year. I received a flyer back in October for a day trip to see the “Celtics vs. Miami Heat” on February 13. So, I purchased four tickets for my family as a Christmas present—to sort of “top off” the basketball season.
I have never been to an NBA game before; so I had no idea what to expect. We walked into TD Banknorth and took the kids into the “NBA Store” to get a game jersey, foam finger, and a Celtic hat. My daughter even got a Paul Pierce jersey despite being a Kobe Bryant fan! We went up the escalator to the second floor. There it was! I looked down a short corridor and there was the court! My two kids and husband went down courtside and got some pictures of the players as they warmed up. The atmosphere was electrifying!
It was absolutely breathtaking to see Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, and, of course, the newly crowned three point champion Ray Allen out on the court warming up!
The game against the “Heat” was very heated to say the least. Rajon Rondo was guarding LeBron James. It seemed like an uneven match but Rondo “held his own” against him. The crowd went crazy every time Ray Allen fired up a three pointer! The last ten seconds of the game was a “nailbiter”. Boston was ahead by three points. Miami
It sure was a moment that I know I’ll never forget! It’s nice living in the country; but it sure would be awesome to live closer to TD Banknorth!
