Big Challenge to the Big Shamrock

Welcome Big Shamrock!

 

It's official folks, Celtics na si Shaquille O’Neal!  Ang daming nagbinyag ng nicknames kay Shaq like "Green Giant", "The Green Monster", "The Shamroq",  "Tip-in O’Neal", "Dapper O’Neal", and "Lobster Shaq".  But mas type ng The Man of Steel ang "The Big Shamrock".  Ang unang laban ni Shaq ay kay Glen “Big Baby, Tulo Laway” Davis, marathon clam chowder eating contest.  O pusta na!

Boston's TD Garden

Binisita at sinigurado ko na ready na ang TD Garden para sa Tuesday NBA game 3 between Celtics and Lakers. Sa mga lumaki po ke Larry Bird and Magic Johnson eh it would be forever "The Boston Garden."  Silent r yung garden like  "Gahdens."  I remember one time akala ko swerte at nakabili pa ako ng ticket, yun pala obstructed view seat.  Halos nasa kinsame na at me poste pa sa harap ng seat ko.  Pero ngayon ibang-iba na ang TD Gahdens.

TD Garden is the home arena for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League, the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association, and the Boston Blazers of the National Lacrosse League.

The state-of-the-art TD Garden is a year-round, 19,600-seat arena, fully equipped with three private restaurants - Banners, Legends and The Premium Club restaurants, 90 executive suites, 1100 club seats, a multi-million dollar video scoreboard (Garden HDX) and complete 360-degree LED technology.

 

Ang mahal ng ticket, umaabot na sa  $800 to $35K ang isa sa scalpers.  Huwat! $35K! Yup peanuts en butong pakwan yan sa die-hard Celtics/Lakers fans and third world First Gentleman.  Well we should forget about game 1, sabida nga ni Rondo "You know, Kevin is fine. It's just one game. We'll see in Game 2. We'll see in Game 2." GO CELTICS!

Boston Celtics - Eastern Conference Champs!

 

It looks like, tipong, mukhang Celtics vs. Lakers ulet, na naman and again sa finals.  Umiral ang Irish luck laban sa Magic kagabi kaya Celtics fans wasted no time putting on the “Beat LA” T-shirts.  Kasama na jan si Bertho (bitter half ni Bertha) na abot gilagid ang ngiti.  Oh my gid!  Me pekeng Comelec este press pass pa siya kuno.  Ang maganda dito eh after a bruising six-game series me 5 days to rest and recuperate ang ating green team.  Go Celtics! Beat LA!
