Despite the ubiquity of on-demand viewing, watching event programming live on a traditional television is still the preferred mode to experience mammoth meme-able moments, says the pop culture junkie. But she is still kicking herself for switching to Game of Thrones last Sunday just before Kawhi Leonard scored an astonishing buzzer-beater in Game 7 of the playoffs’ second round. This Sunday will feature a similar double-draw, when the most critical moments of the Raptors’ Game 3 will almost certainly overlap with the first half-hour or so of the Game of Thrones 80-minute finale. But Game 3 is a much different proposition than a deciding Game 7, says Di Nucci, who will risk missing another Raptors moment to watch Game of Thrones live with her family. It’ll be especially hard to avoid Raptors fever when they return home Sunday, even with a Game of Thrones finale, he predicts.
