Where to sit at an NBA game

I am not sure anyone will be able to help but as I can see there are a few Basketball fans here you never know.

I am going to be in Denver on the night of the Denver Nuggets vs Miami Heat game. I don't really follow Basketball but as there isn't much else to do I'm up for the experience. There's about 20 different categories of seats and I'm wondering if anyone knows the best place to be. I can get courtside behind the ends for about $130 but the front of the first tier of balcony near centre is $180 which makes me think that must be a better place to watch from.

If anyone has been there this is for the Pepsi Center in Denver so any first hand knowledge would be great otherwise general knowledge of a Basketball arena would be great.

Thanks

I wouldn't want to watch a game courtside, and I'd rather not watch it from either end. So if you can get a slightly elevated position near centre that's what I'd go for.

Lucky its not a rockets game or you'd have Yao Ming sweating all over you no matter how high up you were

edit: its been a while, it seems he is retired now. Ignore.

yep, he never really played any regular basketball since the 08-09 season, and his comeback last season was slow and caused more injuries so he retired during the lockout, and i'm pretty sure his contract with the Rockets ended durring the lockout anyway.
