I was working nights at the time (6pm - 6am) and recorded that game. I was able to avoid spoilers and watch the recording when I got home at 7am. For that game I executed spoiler prevention protocol #1. During the playoffs, when the Jazz used to make the playoffs, I was going home from my 6pm - 6am shift, stopped to grab a couple tallboys (I've never called them that but a friend at work does and it fits, so here it is) and I told the teller I had the pivotal playoff game recorded. this was one of those dumb situations where I got to the gas station at about 6:58. I can't buy beer until 7am. I mean I've been working for 12.5 hrs at this point, and I just want to get home and watch my recording of the Jazz game. So as I'm finalizing the transaction I feel like a I'm looking like a slimeball because I'm buying beer as soon as it's available for sale in the morning, so I tell the clerk I just got off work and I'm going home to watch the game. He says "You're going to go watch the Jazz game?" Takes a half-step back. Me, "Yeah." Clerk, "Oh." Turns their head away and looks down.
I go home. I watch the Jazz get eliminated by the Spurs.
I hate spoilers.
