Big deciding games like tonights i prefer to watch alone. Usually i need to and actually prefer to record and replay at a time when responsibilities are at a minimal. Besides the obvious time saving factor, a huge side benefit is being able to avoid commercials and bad tv commentary. I especially like fast forwarding on Bill Walton and Stephen Smith. Hubie has been okay, Al tolerable, barely. However tonight i would be way to antsy to see what is going on up to the minute. So barring any unforseen responsibilites will watch live, commercials and all. Cat will no doubt give input. Dog is outdoors. Offspring I continually praise Mrs R. for helping me help them to be readers and not tv watching zombie like their father. I am improving. What would everyone on the board have been able to accomplish if all the years of watching hoop you learned (insert: foreign language, advanced car repair, sign language, massage).
However i have watched many a big game in a group. Last year I watched in a sports bar with a smaller but robust group of Pistons rooters/Laker Haters along with about 150 Purple n Goldens. After several healthy "Lakers Suck" choruses we concluded with our last united swig of beers. The Laker bunch took it extremely well. A few got flustered and exited the bar.
During the rigged year I watched Sac vs LAL with a lifetime laker. However Gm 7 I had a houseful while the neighbors had a houseful of Krishnas. We exchanged hoots and hollers until we know how that sad story ended.
Sonics-Suns 1993 Gm 7 i taped. SuperDoopers vs Bulls I mostly taped and watched afterhours.
I do hope to have Randy over to watch tape of Manu in this years playoffs and finals. Altho his thigh injury was a setback, still plenty of good stuff.
