fukk them hotdog prices op:lolbron:

Better check that injury report.
Man, the main reason we are going is to surprise my 11 yr old son. He still don't know where we are going. Anthony Edwards is his favorite player and I know how players like to sit out random games, plus Ant got all them damn technicals where if he gets one, he is suspended for the next game. Glad he didn't pick one up Friday vs New Orleans

nikkas in here ain't been to a game in over 10 years? Y'all live in bumble fukk?:dahell:

Same nikkas in here arguing everyday don’t even be going to the games :mjlol:

Been going to Raptors and Leafs game since I was like 8 and we ain’t grow up rich. Some of those games was from my basketball and hockey teams getting tickets to take us, my local church took us to a few games, moms got us tickets a few times for Raptors.

I split Leafs season tickets with 3 of my homies and we used to do the same for raptors but got rid of those recently. I still went to a couple Raps games this season

Bucket list for games is to hit a Golden Knights or Raiders game in Vegas. Just think it would be a really dope experience to squeeze a game in while getting fukked up for a weekend

What game? If you're going to a Lakers game at Staples (fukk a Crypto.com), there's everything from fast food to slightly better. I have some McDonald's and then eat at a fancy place across the street at LA Live after the game lol. No value menu at the McDonald's in Staples. There's a California Pizza Kitchen with tableside service in the arena.

Merch is jacked up, but they have stuff that you can't get from Footlocker or NBA.com, like better quality hoodies, oil paintings of Bean :to:

Don't park in the arena, it's $85. Park at the corner lot on Flower and 12th. Parking is $5 to $10, it's guarded and pretty reputable because the nearby restaurants deal with them too. Also, exit the arena on escalators, the elevators take years.


Props.

Never been to cali.
Yet if i go and see a game. I will refer to this detail rich post on the laker game experience.

I need to check the tickets, but I looked up the viewpoint and it looks like the middle level
Thats dope. Thing about going to NBA games is you better be checking that injury report because them nikkas will take a day off in a minute. :russ: Food wise you should be able to get a hot dog, drink and popcorn for around $30 i'd say.

Edit: Ant man is listed as questionable. He not AD though, so he'll probably play.

This happened to me last time I went to a game (Hawks and Warriors). Steph had a sore thumb and was a game time decision. When I got to the arena, you could see Steph on the court shaking his hand and massaging it, like it was bothering him alot. I told my girl that he prolly wasn't gonna play and was getting pissed. Well he luckily decided to give it a go and had a good game. shyt had me sweating bullets though because I paid HELLA money for them tickets.

shyt just don't be worth the hassle like that to be honest. Parking, overpriced concessions, exit traffic.. With TV's the way they are now, most times it just makes sense to watch the shyt from the crib unless it's somebody you really wanna see.

More power to those who find the time to go to them but nikkas be tired B and dropping hundreds for something you can enjoy at the crib just be a move most folks don't be trying to make.,

I get it. I probably been to 2 games this year. A whole decade and no games though? shyt I be running into free tickets here and there from vendors or friends that got scheduling conflicts.

Some of those ticket apps like StubHub got really good deals right before tipoff too.
