Did you take the T to get there? TD Bank Garden is cool, downtown Boston is awesome. Next time you find yourself there, Boston's North end is very close to the arena and you'll find some of America's best Italian restaurants there.

C's fans are really cool, they don't act like Red Sox and Patriots fans, obviously there is a lot of crossover, but Celtics games are a different vibe, even when they are really good, which they aren't now

We were staying at the Liberty (pretty rad hotel) so we just walked.

I went to a Boston v. Sixers game in Boston the other day and it was my first NBA game. It was super fun! Like, I've been to lots of NFL games and it's not really my scene and I've been to NHL games and they are an experience but, again, kind of a pain in my ass. I can definitely see myself being an NBA going to games guy based on this one single experience if I lived within walking distance!

OF NOTE:
1. Boston fans are super nice. Just all friendly and chill.
2. Getting into and out of the arena was even less of a pain in the ass then getting into and out of Kauffman. It was a full arena and it never felt annoyingly busy or crowded.
3. Bought lil steve dave a stuffed larry bird and a tatum jersey at the game. He wore the jersey to school the day I got back and my wife was telling me he was asking alexa what the score was of the game the entire night while I was there after he found out I was going.

What an eclectic collection of favorite teams that child will have.

lmao, yes. His lineup is:

MLB: Astros (his name starts with "H" and at the age of about 3 he became aware of a team with a giant "H" in their logo)
NFL: Bucs (liked them before they won the super bowl because his flag football team was the Patriots so he was a patriots fan but then they traded Brady so he became a Bucs fan. Then they won the super bowl while we were at Disney World and Gronk came to the Magic Kingdom but we were at Hollywood Studios that day but still pretty cool!)
NBA: Celtics (see thread)
NHL: Not really aware of the sport yet
College sports: KSU all (obviously)

He's also like the rusty/chum1 of sports fans in that he likes to root against whatever everyone else likes.

yes it set me up well for a life of Oakland A's/Crystal Palace fandom. Astros and Celts and Brady are a little too good for my taste but they are all well hated at least.

I don’t think I’ll ever love another athlete as much as I  love Dirk.

Might be luked, but Sneed got the call-up for the Jazz a couple of weeks ago. I had no idea until I randomly looked at a box score from the other day...

Yeah, I think Memphis had to get that one to have a chance.  Hope I'm wrong!
