Is it Saturday yet?

A week between games is too much for a fan to wait.It’s only been three days since the last Elite 8 game was played, but it feels like forever.
With all that’s riding on my March Madness bracket I want the Final Four to be here already. I can’t stand the wait.
I’m also in a big dilemma. I’ve had plans to drive down to Charlotte to see the Boston Celtics play the Bobcats. I’ve been excited about this trip for weeks. Finally, I’ll get a chance to see the Big Three, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce tear it up on the hardwood first hand.
Well, the issue is that the game is right in the middle of the Final Four. If I went to the Celtics game I’d only be able to catch the end of the North Carolina vs. Kansas game and miss the other game completely. So, I’m not sure what to do.
All of my friends in Charlotte don’t want to miss the college games which disappoints me, but either do I. I’m not sure what I’m going to do, but basically I want to see all three games. I wish there was a way to move up the college games, then I would have exactly what I want. Sounds too good to be true.
The Celtics are close to clinching the top seed in the Eastern Conference, something which is far from a done deal in the West. It’s still a tight race in that half with every game playing a huge role in the seeding process. If the regular season has been this exciting we can only imagine what a great postseason is in store.
I was lucky enough to return home last night and catch some of the Red Sox game against the Oakland A’s. It was the perfect cap to a great night.
The Red Sox won the game on the back of an outstanding pitching performance from Daisuke Matsuzaka. The Japanese star struck out nine and was commanding his fast ball the whole game. He was finally challenging hitters with the heat, something he struggled to do last year. Another good sign for Dice-K was that he didn’t walk anyone. He’s been known to have control issues and struggled with finding the strike zone, but not Monday night.

That is the dilemma. Watch the NCAA games or see the “Big Three” fall flat on their face in person instead of in a bar. The last time the Celts came to charlotte then barely slipped by with a last second shot, and the Bobcats do have a win against them. For a contender vs. non-contender match up, hopefully it’ll stay pretty interesting. Either way some choice beverages will be enjoyed, and either way, I’m pumped for the weekend!!!
