NBA Happy Hour: 100 Reasons Inception-Meta-Edition

TGIF basketball fans! It's the end of the week, so that means NBA Happy Hour! Grab a beer, follow the rules and start the weekend with a Don Nelson-level buzz.


Hopefully, you have been following our week-long series on the top 100 reasons to watch the NBA this season. If not, right now is the absolute most perfect time for you to go back and catch up. Once you've read through, we'd like to invite you to participate in this week's Happy Hour Drinking Game. And boy, it's a doozy.

That's right, today's Happy Hour is based on our very own list of 100 Reasons! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we just got all dream-within-a-dream on your ass! Is this brash? Maybe. But looking back, we've noticed some patterns in our list, and we think it would be fun if we pointed them out to you and got you drunk on them. So read the list again AND...




DRINK ANYTIME:
  • You can tell which No Regard staffer came up with a reason.
  • You have no idea to whom or what we're referencing.
  • You laugh at a video to which we link.
  • You get mad at yourself for not having League Pass.
  • You know that the No Regard staff collectively ejaculated thinking about a player.
  • We mention a player's or coach's physical appearance.
  • It is obvious that we've been taken hostage by consumer culture.
  • A staffer uses the term "we" when he or she really means "I" (i.e. any shameless professions of fandom for a particular franchise/player in the guise of No Regard collective excitement).
  • Our interest in internet coverage of the NBA trumps actual happenings in the NBA (including but not limited to: love of blogs, love of tweets, love of youtube, love of blogging about tweets and youtube).

FINISH YOUR BEER ANYTIME:
  • A reason relates to your favorite team.
  • A reason relates to a team you hate (Reason #20 only counts as one. Sorry, folks.)
  • We take more than nine words to explain why a posted reason should be valid/sort of funny.

TAKE A SHOT ANYTIME:
  • You think we're visionary geniuses.
  • You think we're out of our goddamn minds.
