As a 'Game of Thrones' fanatic who is also a devoted Toronto Raptors fan, Oriana Di Nucci finds herself weighing the pros and cons of what to watch this Sunday when the fantasy saga concludes at the same time her beloved team hosts its first home game of the NBA Eastern Conference final.
NBA basketball fans brave the rain to cheer on the Toronto Raptors as they play the Philadelphia 76ers during first half NBA Eastern Conference semifinal action in Toronto on Sunday, May 12, 2019. As a"Game of Thrones" fanatic who is also a devoted Toronto Raptors fan, Oriana Di Nucci finds herself weighing the pros and cons of what to watch this Sunday when the fantasy saga concludes at the same time her beloved team hosts its first home game of the NBA eastern conference finals.
"I'm really bad at accidentally spoiling things a lot. It's not good for me and my friends who hadn't watched it yet," she explains, expecting both social media and traditional media to be awash with GoT details Sunday night and Monday morning. It'll be especially hard to avoid Raptors fever when they return home Sunday, even with a "Game of Thrones" finale, he predicts.
"That's the contradictory thing," he chuckles. "It seems we have more mass media at our disposal nowadays but in fact the way that mass media content is produced is actually fragmented audiences." Sportsnet says last Sunday's Game 7 attracted an average audience of 2.2 million viewers, a big jump over a typical game. A peak audience of 3.8 million tuned in to catch Leonard's buzzer-beater.
