just throwed tenner on pacers for winning the whole shebang

You could have actually used that tenner for something Finn!

Mind you it is the East... stranger things have happened

How much did you spend on tickets? Looking to get myself to MSG when I'm over next April!

It cost us $327.42 for two reasonable seats quite far back but fairly central. Booked ages ago though as heard they can sell out quite quickly. Look into it asap is my advice!

Do you know of anyone on here based in NYC themselves? I believe we have United away whilst I'm in the states, so would love to watch it with the fellow blues there!

I don't, but I've seen via twitter, etc., that the NYC group is very active and often gets visitors. I think if you just showed up they'd treat you well, but if you want specific information from them pre-match, hit them up on twitter or the US group on Facebook.

There are cheaper ones I think! We just thought it may be a one off so worth shelling out a bit more for a better view. Again though, it's best to book them early!

I think I'll have to watch it from the car park for it to be in my price range! But I'll definitely look it up. Did you check prices for Brooklyn too by any chance?

No just the Knicks. The NYC footie tickets are dirt cheap in comparison though! About £30 to see Pirlo, Villa and to a lesser extent, Lampard.

I think it's the mental wages they pay everyone. And the fact that demand is so high for them. Start saving now!

Haha as am I, although the name wouldn't suggest it. Not an abundance of scouse NBA fans lurking around though unfortunately

Yeah I'm the only one out of my mates who watches the nba, slowly turning some of them due to 2k16 and the fact I win a lot more basketball bets than football.

Tristan Thompson signs 5 year $82million dollar deal with the cavs. Amazing that he gets that to sit on the bench and come on and get a few offensive rebounds.

And we think Premier League wages are mental! That's $224,657 a day!

It's a 5 year deal, so more like 45k a day. Still huge, especially for him. He really isn't that good.

Ha! Yeah sorry forgot to divide by 5! Still not a bad daily wage I suppose!!!
