Improve your game 6 Experience

Tonight's NBA ECF game offers more than just an opportunity to take in a good basketball game.  By simply following the rules of my drinking game the experience will be enhanced greatly.  You will need at least 4 friends (we don't want anyone passing out before the fourth quarter), beer, rum, coke, vodka, and a full bottle of Jack.

Here's how to play.  Give everyone a beer, rum and coke, and vodka shot.  Turns rotate to the person to your left.  Every time a below listed event happens a player must take the drink corresponding to that event and then it becomes the next players turn.  The turns rotate until the end of the game.  Here are the events;

Every time that Steve Kerr mentions Lebron James that player must take a sip of Beer.  This will happen often as Kerr is Lebron biggest fan and has a complete man crush on him.  

Every time Chris Bosh shoots a three take a shot of vodka.  It's what Pat Riley must do after every game when he thinks about Bosh a big man never posting up and sitting behind the line looking to shoot 3's.  He could have gotten someone cheaper to do that.

If any ref named Crawford is calling the game then everyone must chug a beer.  This way you won't be as puzzled by all the calls they give in the Heat's favor.

If a technical foul is called on the Pacers take a swig of Rum and Coke.  This should be a common occurrence, so only a swig is needed.

Any time Steve Kerr proclaims Dwayne Wade is back chug your beer.  This will probably occur a lot. If D Wade does anything remotely positive Kerr will jump on it as a turning point situation.  This would include him checking into the game, coming out of the locker room from getting his knee retaped, scoring a basket, hitting a free throw, completing a pass, and breathing.  These are all things that continue to make Kerr believe Wade is back to 2010 standards of play.

Any time D Wade's back touches the floor take a shot of vodka.  This will occur anytime Wade comes within in a few feet of a Pacer player and he has the ball.

If a Heat player is ejected from the game take three consecutive shots of vodka.  Seems excessive I know, but the chances of this happening are less than 0%.  Also, it doesn't count if a bench player gets tossed.  It might be a preconceived play by the Heat to get the team fired up.  

Take a big swig of Rum and coke if Steve Kerr mentions the absence Birdman as being crucial.  The player must take another one immediately if Albert brings up the Birdman shooting streak.  Actually just take two because he surely will.

If Reggie Miller makes a salient point about the game slap yourself in the face.  You must have fallen asleep because this probably won't happen.

If Lebron starts screaming after making a shot take a drink of your beer.  

If Mike Miller plays everyone must chug their beer.  Hopefully that will wipe away the memories of having to watch him play.

If Mike Miller gets hurt or fakes an injury you get a free pass on your turn.

If the Heat commit an offensive foul you get a free pass.  Don't count on it!

If the Pacers fall behind at any point by more than 10 points turn off the game and go see a movie. The game is over.  They never come back...ever.

If the Pacers win open the bottle of Jack and each player is required to drink an equal share straight as this is what David Stern will be doing if that happens.

Enjoy the game!
