It's becoming an annual tradition for the fellas (including johnny h) and I to develop and play the NBA Finals Drinking Game. Last year we even had the NBA Western Conference Finals Drinking Game because that series was just too great to pass up (Lakers/Kings in 6/7 games? "Best drinking game series of all time" as Bill Walton would say). Anyway, we've had two games now to stew over the guidelines for this year's Finals Drinking Game and an even series at 1-1 means we're guaranteed at least 3 more games.

Here are the rules and example of what to look for:

- Anytime a player over the age of 34 steps on to the floor for either team, drink once
Open up for Dikembe, Mr. Robinson, Steve "I can't stop at 4 rings" Kerr, Danny "All my hair jumped on the" Ferry, and Kevin "Played with 'Nique" Willis, just to name a few.

- Anytime Dikembe scores over Tim Duncan, drink once
Like a couple of those prayer hook shots he trew up that magically went in in Game 2.

- Anytime you catch Dikembe giving the "No No No" finger, drink twice
You'll know it when you see it.

- Anytime Tim Duncan dribbles over half court, drink twice. Anytime he dribbles behind his back or between his legs, drink once.
If I have to explain this one, chug.

- Whenever ABC goes to the "Crotch Cam" (aka Floor Cam)
Another time when you'll definitely know it when you see it.

- Anytime Bill Walton uses 2 or more adjectives in the same sentence, drink once for every superfluous adjective.
"Jason Kidd possesses an amazing, spellbinding, keen eye for the court." In this example you would drink twice - amazing is the allowed adjective, spellbinding and keen are superflous.

- Everytime Tony Parker refers to Tim Duncan as "Timmy" in an interview, drink once for every reference
"My job is to just get the ball to Timmy, and let Timmy make things happen."

- Anytime Bill Walton says something and your first thought is "What the?", drink in direct proportion to your befuddlement
"They're having a harder time scoring than a high school nerd." (Tom Tolbert actually said this, but it was the only good example I could think of, and this would otherwise be classic Bill Walton).

- Anytime Bill Walton uses a superlative to descripe something, drink once
"That was the worst inbound pass in the history of the NBA"

- If ABC goes to the "Boom Cam" and it's just a shot of a girl from the waste up
