People,
Funny moment from the game the other night...
On one play, one of the Bucs charged into Paul Pierce. I guess it looked like he traveled, but no call was made and the crowd went ballistic. Not being a wallflower, I joined in and screamed "Booooooooooo! Traveling!" at the top of my lungs even though I have no idea what traveling even is.
Anyway, the funny thing about sitting courtside is that the players and refs can actually hear you when you say stuff, and the ref standing near us started to get visibly pissed. Finally, he turned to me and shouted "Learn the fucking rules! There's not traveling if there's also contact!" Of course, to my untrained b-ball mind, this translated roughly to "Lkahsokjhv kjsahdkfyiuhwre kjhkjdfhxcmsiw skjdhkjhoks"
Anyway, I was stunned for a second that he even responded and then shouted back at him "Dude, I was booing just to boo. I have no idea what I'm talking about!"
At this point he and another ref switched sides of the court and I laughed myself silly.
Thank god they weren't playing the Pacers! You would have been on the news with Ron Artest beating you down like the rowdy, sober, caffinated fan, which you are.
Dude, for the record, next time some uppity ref hollers at you about travelling calls, tell that sucker to call a goddamn charge.
you have no idea how jealous I am that you sat courtside. christballs.
