the NBA playoffs is now 2 games in, and thanks to technology, the atmosphere has not been too "pickup games" like. but it still feels weird to me, them virtual crowds. like, the seeding games probably didn't matter. but playoff games, its the live crowds that make it such a spectacle to watch. and its just not the same without.

but anyways. saw this Boston Celtics themed ball selling for only $15 when i went to grab my lunch at the Belmont Forum earlier. so of course i had to get it - and have it displayed.

ps. i'm thinking of getting another one and uhm, make it a permanent fixture on one of our new developer's desk. because .. he's a Lakers fan.
