Another epic battle took place last night between the Celtics and Bulls in Chicago. The two teams battled back and forth for 48 minutes, only to find out that wasn't enough time. Three overtimes later, Chicago ended up squeaking out a 1 point victory. Ray Allen scored a game high 51 points, including 9 three pointers, while Rondo nearly had another triple double in the loss. It all comes down to game 7 in Boston. Nichole and I tried hard to get tickets all morning, both through some connections we have, as well as via ticketmaster (they dropped some new tix for Game 7 online today) and craigslist, but found nothing that was reasonably priced, and by reasonably, I mean less than around $150 per ticket, in the nose bleeds section. We were able to find a suite that could hold up to 18 people for $3000, but we would be hard pressed to find that many people willing to drop that kind of cash at the last minute. Needless to say, sounds like we are watching it from home. What an amazing series it has been though!
Gonna be a wild and crazy weekend, with the Bruins playing tonight and Sunday, the Celtics playing tomorrow night, and the Red Sox and Rays playing all weekend. I hope to get a little sleep leading up to our trip to Vegas next Wednesday!
About Me
- Mark
- I've always wondered if people actually read this stuff. I never do when I'm on other pages. Well, in case, for some strange reason, you find it necessary, I'll give you a little knowledge. I was born in The County. For those of you who don't konw better, that would be Aroostook County. For those of you who do, your jokes won't work on me, they are lame. I'm the son of an investment banker that squandered his every penny on tuna fish sandwiches in the late 80's, and my mother was the lead singer for the Bangles. Neither of those is true, but again, I'm convinced nobody is reading this anyways. I met my wife at a carnival, and we were married by the bearded lady in front of the entire clown brigade. I have a daughter who is training for the 2012 Olympics where she will compete in the Triple Jump and Javelin. We live in a nice little shanty in the woods and are hoping to one day have running water. Any questions?
