I am going to a Leafs game on February 11th and I am looking to hit up a Raptors game while I am up there. The choices come down to Celtics on February 10th or Lakers on February 12th. I really dont care what game I see so I am looking for some advice as to which ones to attend. Now this seems like a no brainer based on the seats I can get for each game but the fact I could see Kobe is making me doubt it. I also am not looking to spend alot of money since my Leaf game tickets were expensive and I cant afford to spend too too much money on my trip up.

For the Celtics game I would be buying tickets in either Section 115 Row 13 or Section 114 Row 16. For the Lakers game I would be be in the nose bleeds. Section 332 Row 13 or Section 311 Row 18 or Section 318 Row 18. Now I have never been to a Raps game before and I dont know what the nosebleeds would be like to be in,but the oppurtunity to see Kobe Freaking Bryant might have me sitting in the nose bleeds. I would be willing to buy the 200 dollar Laker tickets IF people think it is worth it.

there is the link to the ACC 3D Raps seating if anyone wants to check out those tickets.

Now if anyone has been to Raps games and has suggestions on good seats let me know. Now another factor in me leaning towards the Celtics tickets is that the day of the Lakers game my flight leaves at 6 o'clock. With the Lakers game at 1 in the afternoon would there be time for me to clear the arena,get a cab to the airport and catch my flight? The average game is 2 and a half hours too so lets assume its out by 3:30 that leaves about 2 hours to get to the Airport because I dont want to be overly rushed.

Advice,comments,suggestions,anything you guys want to tell me is greatly appreciated! Let me know as soon as possible.

The ACC layout is pretty good in the sense that generally there isn't a terrible seat in the house. The view from the upper bowl is decent.

Having said that, unless you've got a ridiculous hard-on to see Bryant, I'd strongly advise that you take the lower bowl seats, assuming price is equal. Celtics put on a decent show as well and hopefully all their stars will be in the line-up.

If I am spending the money, I figure I should see the best game with the best view.

I dont have a ridiculous hard-on to see Kobe so its not a big deal either way,tickets are equal in price so that leans me towards the lower bowl and Rondo,Garnett,Allen,Pierce would be just as good as Bryan,Gasol,Bynum.

Either way I just want to see a good show,great seats,and something to do while in Toronto.
