Wives/Girlfriends who watch games with you

[RchfldCavRaised]

For those of you who have wives or girlfriends who you ALLOW to watch games with you or even tag along to games every once in awhile, chime in here.

For starters, she just learned a new thing (want to say trick but she is standing over my shoulder and she will equate learning a trick to a puppy being taught a trick) Anyway, she learned a new thing, where she randomly tells me what kind of defense the Cavs are playing. Nothing too in-depth, either Zone, Man, or none at all (which she hasnt said as much this year as last) Also, she gets SUPER pumped for any kind of AND1 for the Cavs.

Her newest irritating thing, is telling me to rewind a play "cause it was so sweet" forcing me to fall behind the live action most games.

Anyway, I started this thread because she is far froma diehard fan, but she has notable players throught the league who she gives nicknames to because they stand out to her. I just noticed tonight how funny some of my wife's NBA player nicknames are. She has some for alot of players, it just so happened that there were like 5 in tonights game.

Jermaine Oneal = Little Face
Bosh = Teradactel (dont ask why she didnt use Raptor, I ask every time she says it and she just shruggs)
Charlie Villanueva = No Hair
Chris Paul = CP (she refuses to say the 3, it irks me)
Deron Williams = Damon Williams
Boobie = My Little Boyfriend (hers not mine)
Devin Brown = Bumpy Face Johnson (this was hilarious)
Donyell Marshall = Plankton (from spongebob)
Sasha Vujacic = Jesus
Kendrick Perkins & Rajon Rondo = Genie & Gypsy (she calls both of them either name)
Sasha Pavs = He looks like he doesnt wash his butt (says this EVERY game)

There are others but she cant think of them now.

Does anybody else have to tolerate this foolery every game?

No offense dude, but you have nothing to complain about. Let her be as excited as possible and enjoy it as much as possible. 82 games is a long season -- she'll lose the excitement after a while. (Although, I'll probably still have hard nipples during the 82nd game -- this season is *ucking awesome! -- oops...did I say too much?)

Seriously though, you are really lucky to have a woman who doesn't HATE the fact that the Cavs play 3-4 times a week. My wife and I have an agreement that I watch two games a week without me hearing a *ucking word from her, and any other games I DVR and watch after she goes to bed. She'll usually watch one of the two with me, and she LOVES to go to see the Cavs play at the Q.

And compared to some of my buddies who have been maried as long as I have or longer, I'm a lucky man. So you should be counting your blessings and using this for all its worth.

My wife doesn't have much time to watch because she is grading papers and doing lesson plans all night, though she does enjoy basketball. She was a Cheerleader for our school back when we were in college and really got in to it being that close to the action all the time. I have been quizing her on the NBATV analysts names. She didn't know they were Gary Payton and Chris Webber. When I told her she said she heard of Webber but not Payton. I got on her about that one. She thinks I'm crazy cus I'm always screaming "Yeah Delonte, Redbush for 3".

Hey atleast you get to watch the games together, I had to create an extra cable line because Sunday Night Football turned to Desperate Housewives.

My wife loves the NFL above anything else, but she loves the Lakers...

 

[theSTEREO.]

I think I'm the luckiest dude in the world. My wife LOVES basketball and LOVES the Cavs. We have partial season tickets together (we got them as engagement gifts for each other last year), and she watches most games with me. She's got a good eye for hoops too, and gets real proud when she can keep up (or school) her co-workers with her Cavs knowledge.

She's a big Indians fan too, and a bit of a Browns fan, but not quite as much. Not a football girl really.

I'm stoked.

I'm really fortunate that my girlfriend understand the support I have for the Cavs. I can't catch all the games because of work and other things but when I do - my girl always tries to make it special for me. Like she tries to cook or what not so I'm munching on something while watching the action. She even buys me cavs stuff (A coffee mug being the latest).

As for the naming convention, well of course she knows LeBron and that's it. For all the other players she'll call them by their jersey number like: "Hey, why is number 3 not playing? (Boobie)", or, "That's some ugly hair by number 90. (Gooden)" LOL. But she does call AV "Wire hair" sometimes.

Boobie = My Little Boyfriend (hers not mine)

I sense jealousy :chuckles:

Does anybody else have to tolerate this foolery every game?

No sir. This is why I watch games in solitude. I have only a few friends I can even watch games with, because I really can't tolerate low basketball IQ's (not an insult to your girl, or women in general, I mean low b-ball IQ's for anyone). There are people I prefer to be at games with or watch big games with, for the fact that they often see what I see. Outside of that, though, I like watching them alone. You'll see me at a game once I'm done with my finals. I'll be the guy who buys every seat in a Loudville section and then throws them away, with the exception of my own ticket :chuckles:

 

[Houston RZ34]

My girl will cook something for me to munch on and then go over a friend's house if she can.

Cavs Nachos, Blue Corn Tortilla Chips (Blue), HOMEMADE Chili con Queso (Gold and Red)

When she does stick around, she knows most by name, she says we're the only team in the NBA that you can REALLY tell who's who just by looking at them.

My girlfriend loves anything Austin Carr says, she loves "The L-Train", "Get that weak stuff outta here", "Throws the hammer down in the Q", and Fred's "He turned his lamp off!".

She likes the carvings in Boobies head, she thinks JJ looks dopey so she likes him. She likes Z because he's big ackward and goofy. She likes the zoom ins of Mike Brown when he has mouth completely agape.

She always comments on how Ben Wallace just got out the joint. She tries all game to figure out what Delonte's tattoos mean. She thinks Wally and Andy whines too much.

Mo = MoMo

She likes when LeBron gets that pissed off face where it looks like someone just scuffed his shoes.

 

[The Oi]

My fiance LOVES Anderson. Loves him. And one time when LBJ was carrying his baby around she said that at that moment she was sexually attracted to him.

I was cool with it because I am sexually attracted to him at every moment...

 

[Damage]

My gf loves the Cavs. She was a 4-year starter (field hockey) @ Kent St, so she's definitely a sports junky. But she loathes the cheerleaders (especially after our incident last Friday in section 100)

She loves when Austin says, "Consequently...".

 

[chiefwahoo]

I too am a fortunate one... my wife and I have Cavs season tickets together and she's with me most games down in Section 118. We also have a 20-game plan for the Tribe together. I do the Browns solo, only because of the drunken tailgating (obviously the best part of the Sunday experience with that mess of a franchise). But before we were together she actually had her own season tix in the same section as me.

 

[Randolphkeys]

The little lady enjoys "Cavs Time" when I am curled up next to her. When I lurk the game threads, she acts out and turns on We Network to piss me off.

She calls LeBron "Brawny" and wants to "invite Delonte over for carrot stew." Her words, not mine. I actually don't know what that means, I'm guessing she really enjoyed the Bugs Bunny rant. She gets her male co-workers all hot and bothered by dropping baseball and hoops knowledge on a regular basis... which I'm fine with... hey, flaunt it if you got it.

 

[Brother Redbush]

Sasha Pavs = He looks like he doesnt wash his butt (says this EVERY game)

Did she say if he reminds her of any old flings ? I mean, that's just an odd one to come up with right there.
