We get 8th row seats for our "local" NBA team. They bring everything to your seat. The bathroom is like 15 steps away inside the club (where you can watch it on tv if you prefer). The seats are actually comfortable.
During last season's playoffs, I bought tickets for a couple of series. The seats were at half court in the upper deck and it was still better than watching it on tv. (Especially watching the team ignore Kobe on the bench and marveling at how none of the players listened to Phil Jackson during timeouts.)

My old firm had 8th row center court They had bought them when the Pistons really sucked and just hung onto them. 8th is better than 1st because you can see the whole court. Anyway for several years after I quit I was unable to go to the Palace and enjoy a game in whatever seats I could stumble on. Now I have about 25 row on a baseline and they're great. I've learn to accept the limitations.
And live is way better- especially at playoff time. Regular season is so often bored players going through the motions until the last few minutes, but playoffs is war the whole game and off the ball.
And guess the Pistons screwed there fans. My seats for next year got worse- just a little but still. Careful what you wish for.
