Dwight's Delts

...are MASSIVE!

Last weekend I went to my first NBA game as a sort of mini B'day celebration (since my actual birthday is going to be during final exam week, in fact I have two finals on my birthday - now I know the pain that all you June/November babies suffer). It was the Orlando Magics vs Golden State Warriors game at Oracle Arena which is the GSW home court. I managed to score a sweet deal, we got $40 priced tickets plus a free 'girls' calender and a signing with the 'team' before the game all for just $20 per person.

With a line that long it must be good! They only do one unique topping per day. We scored broccolini, pecorino & gremolata.

So after hitting up cheeseboard for dinner (best gourmet pizza in Berkeley) we rushed over to meet the team. Except that at the time I didn't know anyone in the GSW team. Well, it turns out it didn't matter because when the ticket offer referred to an 'exclusive signing with the team' they weren't talking about the basketball team, they were talking about the cheerleading team. Yes, I was uhh, very disappointed.



OK enough of the girls. The game itself was actually really exciting, despite the blowout it looked to be on paper. In fact it seemed like it was heading that way after the Magics put up 46 or so points in the first quarter with a 14 point lead. Dwight was dominating with some awesome post moves and a few great dunks, Rashard Lewis was hitting 3's from everywhere and Vince Carter was carving it up pretty hard.



But GSW managed to make a game of it and with 10 minutes to go in the last quarter they were level for the first time in the game: 110-110. Yeah it was a pretty high scoring game. But, too bad, they threw it away in the last 10 minutes, and the Magics went on a 14-0 scoring run and ended up winning by a fair margin.

There was also your usual half-time antics, but I have to say this dunking trio were pretty awesome.



Either way, it was pretty entertaining, and the fact that we snuck into the reserved seating section on the lower tier during the 2nd half made it all that much better.
