It was an amazing game to be so close. It felt almost like a movie what with the tight game and overtime and I guess because of being so close.

I wish I had some good stories but I was so mesmerized by the experience, it all seems like a blur right now.

The one thing I did notice is that up close the players look even better. Their athleticism is more impressive, their quickness is astounding, their force in bodying each other so palpable that you feel it.

From so close, Nash looked shockingly efficient - like not one wasted movement at all. And Sheed also had the efficiency of movement plus he is graceful in a way I hadn't noticed from TV. The block on Amare was amazing and I had just the right angle.

What a game to get that kind of upgrade!
