Toronto fans TV dilemma: Watch the Raptors Game 3 or Game of Thrones finale on Sunday? Globe_Sports
Those who switched over to Game of Thrones when it began at 9 p.m. ET last Sunday saw Dany and Drogon set King's Landing ablaze but missed Kawhi Leonard’s astonishing buzzer-beater in Game 7 to eliminate the Philadelphia 76ers.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 as her beloved team hosts its first home game of the NBA Eastern Conference final.
Despite pronouncements that event television is dead, Di Nucci believes the fear-of-missing-out drives many to the tube, often with friends and family in tow. That was certainly the case last week for Di Nucci, who watched the Raptors with her sister and parents on the living room TV until she and her father commandeered the set forHer mom and sister were relegated to an upstairs bedroom to finish the game between the Raptors and visiting Philadelphia 76ers. Di Nucci soon realized that was a mistake “based on their yelling and running around.”“I wish I saw Kawhi’s last shot live. I wish I saw it in the moment, but it happens. It happens.
“I don’t feel it was that big of a deal – I’ve seen it now so many times replayed – but there is something special about seeing it happen live. It’s one of those things where you would remember where you were when it happened.”: “Nobody can go on social media.”“We’re good. As long as it’s not a blowout, we will always watch Raptors first,” she says.
