Bottlegate’s 2015 Cleveland Cavaliers drinking game

Ah, just in time for the weekend festivities. The rules are simple and short since no one likes to think when they’re about 7 beers deep by halftime. Remember, this is a drinking game and the main objective is to drink. This is no time to get cute with a bunch of complicated guidelines.

We’re going to keep this fluid and update it regularly because I’m sure there are a billion things we forgot. I foresee this list getting pretty big… “Big” as in by the time the playoff games roll around and you’re playing along you’ll be passed out drunk on the floor drooling in the middle of the 2nd quarter.

THE RULES

1 Healthy Gulp

  • Kyrie Irving assist
  • Any dunk by anyone not named LeBron (both teams)
  • Anytime Allie Clifton gets any facetime… Love you Allie
  • Every bucket Kevin Love scores after the first quarter (free throws included)
  • If anyone says “Russia,” Russian,” or speaks in Russian when referring to Mozgov
  • For each Cavs player handshake you see. This includes pregame intros.
  • Austin Carr says “Deep in the….”
  • A telecast mentions Delly’s toughness or grit

 2 Gulps

  • LeBron James dunk
  • Kevin Love 3 pointer
  • JR Smith 3 pointer
  • Buzzer beater end of 1st or 3rd quarter
  • Fred McLeod yells out “The Bottom” after a made 3
  • The telecast shows a shot outside of the Q or anywhere in Cleveland
  • Anytime Austin Carr says something you can’t understand
  • Someone mentions JR Smith and Iman Shumpert’s time on the Knicks

5 Gulps

  • After the Cavs home game intros
  • Cavs go on a 10-0 run (1 sip for every point after 10)
  • Austin Carr says “Throws the hammer down”
  • Buzzer beater before halftime/end of game
  • The telecast shows someone in the crowd wearing the jersey of someone no longer on the team
  • Anytime someone on the Cavs gets an “And 1”
  • Shawn Marion bungles on offensive possession
  • Mike Miller is the first one off the bench to high five the players in the game when a timeout is taken

Finish your drink

  • Coach Blatt gets a technical called on him
  • After a Cavs alley-oop
  • Brendan Haywood & James Jones are on the court at the same time
  • The game goes to overtime

Shotgun/Beer bong/Full beer chug

  • JR Smith crotch grab
  • Game winning shot (either team)
  • A Cavs player records a triple double
  • A Cavs players scores 50+ points

Finish a whole Six Pack

JR Smith shoots a layup. JK. Don’t do that.
