If anyone is interested in my final decision, I decided to get the courtside seat to the Lakers vs Spurs on Monday, March 6th.

The decision was based on #1) driving to Staples Center from where I live now is brutal, #2) It's an unbelievable experience sitting courtside and #3) there is an off-chance that I could end up with some free tickets through connections at work so I could possibly still go to the other games.

Oh yeah, Mrs. Tlong - my significant other hates basketball, especially the Lakers. He wouldn't be caught dead at a Lakers game.

Thanks for everyone's input!
