Celtics Come to Town

Let me know if I'm putting up too many pictures, but I always like having some visuals for my stories. Anyways, the Boston Celtics played the Indiana Pacers last night, so of course I took the opportunity to see my hometown team in all its glory. The Pacers play in the Conseco Fieldhouse right downtown, so I got a ticket for $10 plus $5 service charge, that's not a bad deal where I come from. The arena is beautiful, some people call it the "Camden Yards" of basketball, and it really is a fantastic facility.
I got there early and was able to watch Big Baby and Kendrick Perkins working on their low-post moves, which was awesome.
Later on the rest of the team came out to warm up and do lay-up lines, with the cheerleaders in the middle and the Pacers on the left.
I have to admit, the intro was pretty cool. Not quite as cool as the Bull-Riding Championship intros, but still cool.
And here's a beauty of Rondo going in for the layup.
It was a great game, my seat was fine, but some time in my life I would love to sit on the first level, it must be so much fun. The crowd even started getting into it as the Pacers pulled ahead in the fourth quarter, but as expected we were too much for them. Somehow my Red Sox jersey didn't jinx us, so maybe this is God's way of telling me to leave the superstitions up to Nomar.
