We’re back. As big a hit as our 2015 regular season drinking game was (it wasn’t really a hit, people probably died. Read my experience here) we thought what better way to watch these Eastern Conference Finals games than following along with a set of rules designed to get you blackout drunk.
You’ll find that a lot of the guidelines are similar with some changes here and there
THE RULES
1 Healthy Gulp
- Kyrie Irving assist
- Kyle Korver misses a 3
- Any dunk by anyone not named LeBron (both teams)
- For each Cavs player handshake you see. This includes pregame intros.
- When you think to yourself how bad Al Horford’s shirt under his jersey looks
- A telecast mentions Delly’s toughness or grit
- A JR Smith stepback 3 pointer (make or miss)
- Iman Shumpert gets a steal or rebound
2 Gulps
- LeBron James dunk
- Every time you see someone on Twitter mention how dumb Dennis Schroder’s hair looks
- JR Smith 3 pointer
- Buzzer beater end of 1st or 3rd quarter
- When Tristan Thompson grabs an offensive rebound and then throws down a dunk right after
- The telecast shows a shot outside of the Q or anywhere in Cleveland
- Cavs or Hawks build a 15 point lead
- Reggie Miller or Chris Webber reference their playing days
- Someone mentions JR Smith and Iman Shumpert’s time on the Knicks
- TNT shows a graphic with all of the Cavaliers injuries throughout the playoffs
- When Delly throws a “Delly-Oop”
5 Gulps
- Each time you want to blow your brains out hearing Chris Webber and Reggie Miller talk (JK you’ll be dead by the end of the 1st quarter)
- After James Jones nails a 3
- Kendrick Perkins commits a foul
- Buzzer beater before halftime/end of game (each team)
- Anytime someone on the Cavs gets an “And 1″
- Mike Miller is the first one off the bench to high five the players in the game when a timeout is taken
- Cavs or Hawks build a 20 point lead
- Mozgov drops a pass that hits him directly in the hands
- The TNT telecast reference how the Hawks and Spurs are similar
Finish your drink
- Coach Blatt gets a technical called on him
- When LeBron does his whole thing where you think he’s dead and will never walk again then is fine 2 minutes later (O hi there Demarre Carroll)
- Brendan Haywood & Kendrick Perkins 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 and meet me at the I480 Bridge to jump
- David Blatt calls a timeout that he doesn’t have
Merry drinking, everybody
