Wow.  It's been a while since I wrote a blog.  Well if I'm gonna do this one, it has to be now, so here goes...
Last year I made an NBA Finals drinking game and since it was the Lakers vs. the Celtics there was plenty of history to work with.  This year I'm going to have to get a little creative to make sure no one is left standing.

-Drink once every time they show Jack Nicholson in the audience.
Drink five times if Sacha Baron Cohen (as Bruno) lands on him.
Drink ten times if he does it as Ali G or Borat.
Drink everything if it happens and Jack doesn't pummel him.

-Drink once every time they mention Phil Jackson's attempt to break Red Auerbach's championship record.

-Drink once every time they show Magic assistant coach Patrick Ewing and mention his failure to win a championship.

-Drink once every time they mention LeBron James.
Take another drink if they speculate which team he'll go to next.
Take one more if they speculate it will be the Knicks.

-Drink once if NBA Commissioner David Stern denies in an interview his disappointment in not getting a Kobe vs. LeBron Finals.
For an added challenge, try not to laugh when he says it.

-Drink twice if anyone brings up the Disney World vs. Disneyland connection.
Drink twice more if they actually do a feature segment on it.
Wait, the Finals are on ABC which is owned by Disney, right?  Maybe use your discretion on this one.

-Drink once every time they mention that Shaquille O'Neal led each team to the Finals.

-Drink once every time they mention that Kobe Bryant is trying to win his first championship without O'Neal.

-Drink once every time they bring up Lamar Odom's eating habits.

-Drink twice if someone mentions Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy's resemblance to porn star Ron Jeremy.

-Drink once every time they show Tiger Woods in the audience.
Drink again if they interview him and he claims neutrality in the series.

-Drink once every time someone argues with a referee.
WHOA!  Just seeing if you're still reading.  DO NOT DO THIS!

To borrow from last year:

-Drink once every time they show a cast member of an ABC show in the audience.
Drink again if they interview that person and mention when the show airs.

-Drink once every time announcers Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy hit each other below the belt with insults.

-Drink once every time a fan displays a sign with some kind of busted pseudoacronym, for example:

"LaKers
  wOn't
     Be
   bEat!"

or

"MAgic
  NBA
    Champions!"

And, of course, the old reliables:

-Drink once every time someone says "No question", "No question about it", "Without question", "I don't think there's any question" or any variation thereof.
-Impossible scenarios such as "If you're the Lakers...", "If you're the Magic...", "If you're Phil Jackson...", "If you're Stan Van Gundy..."  Chances are, you're not.

That's it for now.  Be safe out there.
