Welcome to THEJNSREPORT’S: NBA PLAYOFFS 2013 NETS VS BULLS GAME 2

HELLO BROOKLYN!!!!

Brooklyn Here I Is!!!

This day was a special day for me, as I previously mentioned in tweets, this was my first NBA Game attended live ever let alone a playoff game.  The atmosphere was electric!  People from all over the 5 boroughs were coming together to root for either team.  I can say I was pleasantly surprised to see a decent contingent of Bulls fans show up to the game.  Ahh memories of the Golden Era.

Once inside it was a relatively short wait to get to concessions for food n beverage.

Moving on I arrived just before opening tip and found my way inside.  Once inside everyone had to go through the pat down and metal detection as well as ticket check before finally observing Barclays from the inside.  In all honesty the wait to get in wasn’t that bad.  I walked following the section signs and saw Brooklyn Burger and thought um…Yessum!!!  I will have a BK Burger.  Mmmm Mmmm Son!! I added Chicken Tenders and Fries to my order and paid a stiff $19.50.

This woman was born with a Mega Phone in her throat. Ironically enough for me I happened to lose my voice earlier in the day.

Again all part of the experience of sporting events expense.  A nice woman who I could tell had the right job selling raffle tickets yelled out over an over giving me a surreal headache while yelling “Guys 50/50 raffle!!!!” LMAO!  God bless her.  In any case I decided to consume my munitions in the hall as i knew to expect clustered seating with little room for lots of things to hold onto.  It looked like Barclays was damn near sold out.

NBA & ABA History of Nets Hanging in their new home.

I loved that they pumped hip hop tracks like B.I.G and Method Mans’ “Tha What”.  Jay Z’s influence was prevalent in Barclays as if he were a majority share owner.  His songs played frequently as well and I got a shot of an ad banner hanging with his sold out shows opening the Barclays Center.

Here was one thing that I knew I’d have to accept in live attendance.  The annoyance of people having to find their seats or getting up over an over again for people coming and going for refreshments or the restrooms.  Where I sat, at one point I began to think I’d paid to be part of a yoga and cardio class, due to the fact I had to bend, lean & contort out of the way of incoming and outgoing people.  No lie it was almost as if we were playing Simon Says and no one told me. LOL  The guy drumming in the middle of the court was cool to watch play those buckets.  From the halls of the subways to Center Court at Barclays you done come along way sir LOL.  I jest but I have seen guys play the buckets before and for free.  😉

Action on the floor.

Luol Deng at the line. He would hit the free throws.

The refs did a good job I thought.  Even when the crowd began to chant Ref you suck! LOL.

Kris Humphries went to the line and even Brooklyn fans were callin him Mrs. Kardashian. I was confused. All he did was get used by her why hate on him? People need to get a life.

This was just awesome to watch live despite distractions.

Now if only PS3 or it’s successor could capture the guys life like look like this for their next 2k title.

Nets were down all night but kept battling back until Bulls made a run to close to door on the game and shift the series back to Chicago with a split.

TV Time Out in the final seconds of the game.

Bulls Huddle. If you were there like I was you also heard the loud roars of cheers from the section of prevalent Bulls fans in attendance.

Nets Huddle. they know now they let one get away and gave away home court advantage.

It was a formality from here and the game concluded with many fans exiting well before the final minute arrived.

The fat lady sung loud. It’s over.

And that Ladies and Gentleman is the end of the game.

I will definitely be back next season for more Nets games as I definitely like the Barclays Center.  Till next time this has been NBA PLAYOFFS 2013 NETS V BULLS GAME 2 by THEJNSREPORT.
