I've only attended two games my entire life. Not because I cant afford it or im far away, because that definitely isn't the case. My first ever game I attended was against the Bucks in Jason Richardsons first game. I sat near the top and had a panic attack during the national anthem. Woke up 20 seconds later and people were asking my then girlf friend why was I laying down and disrespecting our country.

There were about 700 people in the arena that night. Terrible crowd.

Edit: My second game was last year against the Grizzlies when Kemba scored 31 and I had amazing seats 10 rows up. I got hammered before the game and nearly got kicked out for walking onto the court trying to find my seat.


I want to go to a game with you lol.


I parked my car in a parking garage, got blitzed at the game, forgot about the car went straight back to the Holiday Inn to their little bar, drank some more and crapped on myself and got carried back to the room where my woman was waiting. Was a pretty bad night from then on forward. I normally never get that sloppy drunk not since my early 20s. I don't remember hardly anything. About the only thing I remember is this obese woman behind me yelling BEEEN LETS GO BEN COME ON BEN for Gordon.

Edit: The next morning I had a 54$ bill to get my car out of that garage. Terrible.

Me and my friends usually pound back a bunch of shots in the parking garage before attending Pacers games. Its become an absolutely necessary part of the live NBA viewing experience.

I let my lady drive while i pound some beers on the way to Charlotte. Little cooler in the back seat with a red solo cup in the front, and hide the cans under the seat. Last time I pounded some alcohol in a parking garage, or out in public general was after an Asheville Altitude game back in 2003 I think? We got caught, ticketed for underage drinking, and my father threw the house phone at me and hit me in the face when I got home.

I can't wait for the Bucks to start shopping John Henson. It seems destined to happen right about now. I'd even take Ersan Ilyasova off their hands, but that's only if they'd take Marvin Williams in the exchange

Now you know Cliff need and want a stretch 4 on the floor. I would love to have Henson at PF next to Big Al but Cliff would probably only make him strictly a C.

How about tryna get Jeff Green once the Celtics do their firesale tank trades?

Green is one of my favorite potential PFs for us. We'd still be super weak inside but Green is athletic enough to excel in every other aspect of defense and he'd potentially make us the second best offense in the east.

I wouldn't mind a trade that would involve acquiring Jeff Green at all. Green would theoretically be the perfect stretch 4 for this team because he can do more than just spot up and shoot, not to mention he can occasionally takeover a game with a 30+ point performance, he's that talented. It would all come down to what Boston would want in return for him

If he could be had cheaply he would be a good depth piece to add. Like... a second and some cash. He would need to accept his PO for next season as well.
Solid jump shooter who can come off the bench and get some quick points. Has played his career in the western conference so he's used to a high level of competition nightly.
Defensively he is pretty.... eh... but if thrown in with MKG or Stephenson should be okay.

I don't know why people are treating him as if he is poison or a bad piece. He would be a fine piece to add to any serious team as a 22mpg guy at the 2/3. He would actually fit in very well with this team as points off the bench is an issue and given where they are at in the east, they should be looking to add a few extra depth players like Chase.
