Portland Blazers wins!

Tip off

Tonight went to my last raptor game for the regular season. I been to 3 games this time and I was excited. I loved this team for 2 season straight and finally get to see how good my favourite basketball player is. Brandon Roy didn't disappoint. The game was at moments very awkward due to the Canada vs Russia hockey game. It was very distracting at moments where the fans would cheer and the players would have no clue. It was a easy game for the blazers and Raptors do not have a very good offense without Bosh. I was very fortunate to pick up these good seats, and then decided there was a row of empty seats in a few rows in front of ours, so we headed down there. There is a big difference and now wondering how the courtside seats are like. Click here to check out my whole set.

Went to my second Raptors game this year and Im happy they won again. Although they beat the Kings, which they should of easily, it was a fun game to be in the Air Canada Centre atmosphere. All the seats I would consider pretty good in the Stadium.

Was in the 300 level this time, but as a basketball fan, it was a great experience. Majority of the game I was cheering for Kevin Martin but Bosh did a great job on both the offensive and defensive end. The only sad thing is that they couldn't beat this team easily.

Next time I goto the game, I would like to bring a longer lens if I sit in the 100 level to see what kind of images I can get. The lighting in the place was so bright and I can shoot really great images and stop the motion, I wish all sporting events I shoot has this great lighting. I guess thats what makes this the professional level.

Hopefully I will catch one more game this season.

Toronto Raptors vs Bucks

Mini Basketball Players

Today I've attended my first Raptor basketball game of the 09-10 season.  I try to attend a few games every year and every time I went it has been exciting, as like watching from home.  I walked around the stadium and tried to see what was new, and there has been quite a bit of change to the building.  I am a big basketball fan, and lots to like watching it live.  Its different that you don't get a commentator and you get to hear and feel the fan's reaction to the plays.

I would of loved to get better seats, but the photo above was my seat, and I was fortunate enough to get the tickets off kijiji for a really good price.   The only bad thing was that I was pressed for time, but got there just before tip off, so I didn't miss a thing.  The franchise player Chris Bosh wasn't playing his best game, and it was a weird game.  It was lots of back and forth and not alot of lead changes.  In the last 2 mins, Toronto players played harder than the entire game and their efforts paid off.  I was dissapointed that Baragani didn't get to play, but will look forward to seeing him in action next time.  Already planning on the next game.  For more photos please click here
