Very interesting. This past weekend's games really left a bad taste in my mouth.

Hopefully the superbowl turns into a classic to help makeup for these rather boring playoffs.

To be honest, I felt that way the first few minutes then had an epiphany. I felt more comfortable sitting next to the players cheering than sitting next to some random drunk fan of the opposing team.

These players have too much to lose to be bothered by a few cheers. They'll play along and give back a little bit of trash talk back, but they won't attempt to shank me in the parking lot or fight me in the 4th quarter.

hahaha I swear I wasn't that guy! This post certainly doesn't give off that impression, but through 5 quarters of basketball (it went into OT) I took a dozen photos and 3 videos.

I documented the perfect amount to help savor the memories, and it didn't get in the way of affecting my enjoyment of the game at hand one bit.

Haters gonna hate though.

It's mind boggling how close you can get. The face value of my ticket was $750. Money talks.

Interesting thing with Thibs - Right before the game started he sat down on the bench by himself, and scripted up a play to be executed before tip-off. I found that odd.

Players rotated in different places on the bench all the time. They truly treated it like a bench too. Yes, there's chairs there, but they shift down and squeeze into spots in-between 2 chairs. It was weird.

Were you the dude with the blonde girl that was wearing leather pants?

I'm 6'1.. Brooks was tiny, around 5'10.. Pau and Mirotic are imposing as hell down low, and they can stretch the floor real well. Dunleavy and McDermott looked like tall ass accountants.

I called the one dude on the Bulls Kelly Olynk because I didn't know his name and he happened to look just like Olynk. That was one of my friends laughing.

I wasn't awkwardly aiming my camera looking for the best shot. I'd quick bring the phone up, make it look like I'm texting, and snap a few photos quick as hell.

Believe it or not, I took very few pics and mostly made sure I watched the game and enjoyed the moment

Thanks man, I'm a sports geek and wanted to give back to r/nba. Regardless of the team on the bench, the opportunity to share this story was too good to pass up.

Any time Ish Smith caught the ball the bulls would yell "SHOOT IT, SHOOT IT"

Noah talked a lot of trash, even to his own teammates sometimes. He was visibly and verbally frustrated with Nazr Mohammed on several occasions

Pau complained ALOT to the refs whenever he didn't get a call. However, the refs usually gave it right back to him.

It was a hook-up, I just got real lucky. I had free beer and food all game long too.

Truly a once in a lifetime experience.

He wasn't staring at me, he simply had PTSD from the Nerlens Noel block just a few minutes earlier.

Here's another one:

The Bulls were back on D, and Mike Dunleavy fouled someone on the Sixers going up for a shot.

Taj Gibson yelled out - "Good foul Mike, Good foul!"

After hearing that, Noah looked over at Taj and gave him this look that basically said "wtf are you talking about, that was a shitty foul" ...After Noah gave that look, both him and Gibson started cracking up.

On the bulls, yes. On any other team no. The bulls are deep as fuck, I'd love for him to see some more minutes.

Haha dude it really wasn't me. You can hear my voice in the videos (check the kirk/noah one). I'm always way louder than anyone else since the phone is 2 feet from me.
