I wrote this as an article for my school newspaper, but instead of posting a link, I'll just copy and paste it here so you all can see it before gametime. I challenge anyone to play this game and not blackout before halftime... It might be a good idea to record the game in advance. Without further ado:
Drink every time a legendary Celtic or Laker is shown in the stands or at the game.
Drink every time highlights of old school Celtics-Lakers games are shown.
Drink every time someone in the room says “wow” or “oh my God” after Kobe hits a shot.
Same thing for when Sam Cassell misses a shot.
Drink when you hear the “Beat L.A.” chant.
Drink every time an announcer says “Big 3”.
Drink when a celebrity in the crowd is shown.
Drink twice when Jack Nicholson is shown.
Drink when Eddie House hits a buzzer beater three-pointer.
Drink again if he high fives his son after.
Drink after Doc Rivers makes a questionable substitution early in the game.
Chug a beer if you see Kendrick Perkins smile (Don’t worry about this one).
Drink when the Celtics’ last possession of the quarter is Paul Pierce standing at the top of half court dribbling the ball until eight seconds left on the clock then driving to the hoop and taking an off balance fade away.
Drink when Rajon Rondo makes an amazing move to the basket only to ruin it by missing the lay-up.
Drink when someone yells, “Why isn’t Pierce or KG in right now?!”
Drink when someone yells, “Why is Big Baby in right now?!”
Drink when an announcer brings up the “is KG clutch?” debate.
Drink when there is mention of how the Lakers got Pau Gasol for literally nothing.
Drink when there is mention of how Danny Ainge pulled off the KG trade and turned the franchise around in one year… and that Kevin McHale was the guy on the other end.
Drink every time Kevin Garnett says mother f***er (Just kidding, you would be wasted before tip-off).
Drink when Kevin Garnett gets down on his hands and knees on defense and barks like a dog… he actually does this.
Drink when an announcer calls Ray Allen “Jesus Shuttlesworth”.
Drink when Ray Allen hits an outside jumper and the crowd in Boston cheers way too loud acting as though he isn’t an eight time all-star. Seriously, this needs to stop now.
Drink when Kendrick Perkins gets called for an illegal screen in the opening minutes.
Drink again when he picks up his second foul with seven minutes to go in the first quarter.
Drink again when he looks around like he can’t believe he was just called for that foul even though it was obvious it was a foul and he gets called for it every single game.
Drink when Perkins gets the ball under the hoop, takes a power dribble, and then goes up with it, instead of going right up with it and scoring.
I’m not a Perkins hater, drink when he records a double double.
Drink when you want to punch Luke Walton in the face.
Drink when you wonder how Bill Walton got away with all his “partying” with the Grateful Dead but Josh Howard can’t catch a break.
How is Luke Walton so lame if his dad was Bill Walton? Isn’t that hard to do?
Bill Walton actually picked the Celtics to win over his own son’s team. That tells you something right there about Luke. In fact, drink because of that.
Drink when Steven A. Smith screams over everyone else.
Drink when Skip Bayless still picks the Spurs to win the NBA Finals this year.
Drink when you disagree with anything Skip Bayless says.
Drink if the announcers say that the game is getting “a little chippy out there”.
Drink again if they flashback to earlier in the year when Lamar Odom flat out tackled Ray Allen.
Get angry when you see a kid 10 years old or younger at any game. It should be you in that seat not some spoiled brat who doesn’t even realize where he or she is… then drink.
Drink when it is obvious that Doc Rivers is being out-coached by Phil Jackson at some point in the game.
Drink when Phil Jackson thinks he’s a better coach then Red Auerbach was but in reality he’s not half the coach or a fraction of the man Red was.
Drink if you respect Kobe Bryant as a basketball player and nothing more than that.
Question your dignity if you think Kobe Bryant is genuinely a good teammate and person, and then drink heavily.
Drink if Kobe ridicules one of his teammates on the court.
Drink if you remember that the first game of this season in L.A., the majority of people in the Staples Center booed Kobe Bryant…. but we’re bandwagon fans?
Drink if last year at this time you were still in mourning over getting the fifth pick in the lottery and you were having nightmares of Yi Jianlian in a Celtics uniform.
Yi Jianlian was almost a Celtic, and not Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett.
Give yourself a Tommy Point if you didn’t throw up a little bit after reading that last line.
Somewhere in Milwaukee, two diehard Bucks fans just threw up a little bit.
Drink when the announcers praise Tom Thibodeau for his defensive coaching.
Pray that Thibodeau doesn’t get a head coaching job somewhere else next year, then drink.
Drink if you laugh when you see Scalabrine on the bench.
Drink when Leon Powe takes a charge.
Drink when you see James Posey’s green and white mouth piece. Also, drink during every one of his man-hugs to teammates before the opening tip-off.
Drink because Ray Allen is the classiest guy in the NBA- but drink something classy.
Drink when Kevin Garnett takes a big shot late in the game.
Drink when Paul Pierce finally gets some respect in this league.
Pop bottles as the Celtics become the 2007-2008 NBA Champions.
Pause for a second, light up a victory cigar for Red, and reflect upon an amazing season.
Bleed Green.
