What would you do if you paid hundreds of dollars for courtside seats to a Celtics playoff game only to have Tacko Fall sitting in front of you?
That was the conundrum that one Celtics fan found herself in during Boston’s crushing 110-107 loss to the Bucks in Game 5 at the TD Garden. Fall, who is 7-foot-6, was inactive and sitting in the front row on the Celtics’ side. Of course, that meant the poor woman behind him couldn’t see.
“Those are expensive seats. If I got caught behind Tako Fall, paying what you pay for courtside seats, I would be an angry fan,” said Stan Van Gundy.
It was his best commentary of the series.
Fall, to his credit, became aware of the problem. In true gentleman fashion, he ordered a seat cushion for the woman, so she could finally see the action.
But in ironic fashion, the fan probably wished Fall was still obstructing her view while the Celtics were blowing their 14-point fourth quarter lead. At least she would’ve been shielded from the carnage.
