(Just so you know Grammy lived a long life, her health had been spiraling for years and she was ready to go. Everyone was actually happy for her to pass because she expressed that it is what she wanted. So the optics of worrying about a basketball game sounds gross, but my girlfriend even told me she wouldn't care if I sat in a corner and watched it on my phone).
So here's the question: How many of you would record the game and watch it when they got home? Who would be tempted to go out to the vehicle or take your phone in to check in real time?
My dad is a record and avoid. He likes to skip commercials. He'll even record Royals games while he is home to watch it just so he can speed through the commercials. I've always wanted to know in real time what is going on. When I was in college and worked evenings I would have my dad call my work with updates on late Chiefs games (pre-internet everywhere you turn).
I'm going to try recording it and then avoiding contact with my phone all the way home this time.
What would you do?

In these cases I've chosen to sneak score updates. I'd hate to make a big production out of recording it, keeping my head in the sand, getting the time to myself, and watching the hawks take an L.
If they lose simply don't watch it.
