Why You Should Watch Sunday's Knicks-Celtics Game

Jeremy Lin and the New York Knicks are traveling to Boston this weekend to take on the Celtics on Sunday at TD Garden.  Even if you are disheartened by losing the UC Ticket Raffle, here are some reasons why you should still make your way to the game:

1. JLin supported us, we should return the favor

Harvard men’s basketball took on Columbia in NYC on Friday night.  Lin, along with new pal Spike Lee, was spotted in the stands cheering on his former team.  Lin reportedly congratulated the Crimson in its locker room after the 77-70 overtime victory.  Return the love to the Knicks’ new star by supporting him at Sunday’s game.

2. Harvard students should experience an actual basketball arena

While the cramped quarters of Lavietes Pavillion certainly foster a lively atmosphere, the Crimson basketball arena is notorious for resembling a high school gym.  Why not venture into Boston and see our very own on the main stage?

3. Potential celebrity sightings

The recent advent of Linsanity has revived the scene at Madison Square Garden.  The new energy and excitement has attracted quite a crew to the Knicks’ courtside seats.  Celebrities ranging from Mark Zuckerberg to Seth Meyers to Jay-Z and Beyoncé have all been spotted at the Garden in recent weeks.  Who knows whom you might encounter on Sunday as the Knicks take on the Celtics.  Maybe even Drew Gilpin Faust will venture to the game.
