As we know, I turn into a sports bro when the Warriors play during NBA season. It's straight comedy to all my friends. I had been tracking all the ticket prices since last year in trying to see Steph up front before he is past his prime. I was not planning on going to the first home game, but since I saw a ticket in section 2 right by the Warriors bench drop in price, I went for it the day of. Suffice to say, section 2 row 2 makes my section 22 Playoff seat seem twice as far. I am literally in row 2 behind their Gatorade cooler. I know what lotion they use and can literally touch them if I were to extend my arm. Prices definitely start dropping the day of starting mid day. And by 1-2 hours before the game that is likely the last chance you can to grab them at a discount off Ticketmaster. I tried checking on Gametime, but I have not seen any premium seats on that app. So that is my pro tip for you in trying to grab last minute deals for NBA games.







When am I going to be this close to Steph again?

Randomly, my friend Cami was in the first row right in front of me. The founder of her company took  them to the game. So random!  Also, since the 4 people to my right were all gone when all the players were coming out of the tunnel for tip off, I got to be right up at the tunnel to see them up close, which blew my mind.





For some reason I make a lot of eye contact with a lot of the players since I look like no one else sitting courtside in my boho grunge and generally being me. Also, when they called time out, I can see the board that Steve Kerr is scribbling on. Pretty wild.




Being this close to Pat Spencer took a lot of restraint on my part to NOT scream, "Mo headbutts." Șengün anyone. IYKYK.








GPII is the man. When he's not blocking the most impossible shots, he's wearing this awesome hat.


My neighbor E-40 was not drinking 40 at this time.








The Joker wondering where his horse at.


GPII flies. This never gets old. Was fun when I was in section 22 and he dunked it and we made eye contact. It was dope and one of my favorite moments last playoffs.








Then this happened and Steph made a 3 with less than 3 seconds left on the clock to tie the game and the arena exploded. The NY guy next to me was yelling, "WHAT'S HAPPENING?!?!?!?!?!?!" to me and I replied, "MAGIC SHIT!!!!!!!!!!" Also, when Steph did Steph and ran back our way this was right in my face.

Got this awesome picture of my friend Cami with her colleagues with E-40 during the break when we went into overtime.


I couldn't tell you what happened during that 5 minutes of overtime just that it was PURE MAGIC. Steph did Steph hard and we won. It was crazy. The entire Warriors bench was standing up the entire time and Quinten Post was in front of me so I couldn't see anything. It was hilarious. I just looked up to the screen on the bottom where the center screens are to see what was going in. Thought I was going to black out from al that excitement. All I have to say is that I sure picked an amazing game to be at right behind the Warriors!

My cousin was in town and typically we grab a bite to catch up. This time she texted to see if we can grab a bite or go to a Warriors game. Well, the Warriors game won. We sat in section 116, which is a little up and center court. It's a better overall view of the entire game, but SOOOOOOOOOOO far away from the Warriors bench that I like being near. Pricing wise, this is a few hundred dollars less than section 22 or 2. But you do get a better view of the front of the Warriors bench. So if you want best visibility of the overall game, center court slightly elevated is the way to go. If you want excitement from the game, the closer you get to the floor the more exciting it gets, with center court being the most expensive due to most visibility. Thankfully, we won this game. Whew.
