We've recently had the opportunity to go to TWO real life NBA games!! Our good friends had some tickets, but were going to be out of town, so they let gave us the tickets. I called to see if Dima could get off work early, and before I could even finished explaining he was already saying "Take them! Take them!!!" Needless to say we were VERY excited to go! They were great seats too, which added to the excitement of the game - it was so cool to be able to see how tall the players really are, and see the plays and dunks in real life. We watched our Jazz battle it out with the LA Clippers; it came down to literally the last tenth of a second. We ended up losing, but we couldn't have asked for a more exciting game!
Two weeks later Dima scored some tickets from his work, and we were back in the Energy Solutions Arena cheering on the Jazz as they took on the Thunder (currently the best team in NBA). Again, the Jazz played amazing - the whole game was so close, with amazing plays, steals, and dunks from both sides, but again, we ended up losing (this time by about 10 points)... but still so fun to experience the game live, feel the energy in the arena, and of course people watch (there were 3 guys in brightly colored gorilla suits only 1 section over from us that were hilarious). Speaking of entertainment, check out the half time performer from the Thunder game... he makes me proud to be from Las Vegas! :
