I really like her descriptions of the players. Like, she knows who they are, but not their names  :)
also on our car ride she sudden rememberers “horford!... that’s his name.  He’s like everyone’s dad”. I had thought she was mistaking him for rondo when she called him “the passer guy” but I guess that just shows her understanding of the game. Lol

I just asked my wife to guess the names of the Celtics players. Here are her answers:

Kyrie
Rozier
Smart
Hayward
Morris

That was it so I gave her a hint: Timelord.

She looked at me like I had just arrived from another planet.

I gave her another hint: J

She said Jaylen Brown.

So she did pretty good I thought. I mean if she were to ask me the names of Harry Potter characters I'm sure I would struggle to name six.

lol that reminded me of my friend frank who has never seen the Harry Potter movies or read the books... we videotaped him trying to explain what happens in Harry Potter having never seen it... it was pretty funny the things he was right about and the things he was extremely wrong about.

Okay now I'm wondering if I can name 6 Harry Potter characters. I assume I can't name Harry Potter.

I think the girl is Hermione.
The red headed guy is Weasley or something like that.
Dumbledore
The great Alan Rickman is uh Snipe
The bad guy is uh Valdemore

Five. That's all I can think of.

I may be culturally illiterate but I can name the starting lineup of the 68 Celtics off the top of my head.

My wife knows the players she thinks are good looking. She knows Kyrie (very handsome), Tatum (cute but he's a baby), Baynes (he just has that stupid hair), Smart (if his skin wasn't so bad...), and Morris (you know, he's actually really good looking) for sure. She also knows Terry who she thinks is weird looking.

Also, I just bought her a Jae Crowder Boston jersey because she still asks for one.
Lol was the crowder jersey on discount?

$18, listed as being down from $70.

very nice.  Crowder had such a unique number. 99. You don’t see a lot of those.  I was gonna say you could buy the jersey and just tape over the name when someone else takes the number but that one is a bit unusual.
