No Regard Daily Preview: Happy Hour 11-12-10

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you may remember a feature we started this offseason, NBA Happy Hour. This Friday feature gave readers the opportunity to get drunk while, let's say, watching the FIBA championship game, by giving them certain things to look for and celebrate. We are now carrying this idea over to our weekend previews, in which we will tell you one game we'll be watching over the next three days, one game we won't be watching, and ways one could creatively reach Blackout City while enjoying either one. So without further ado: Grab a beer, follow the rules, and start the weekend with a Don Nelson-level buzz.

One Game We Will Definitely Watch This Weekend: Golden State Warriors vs. Milwaukee Bucks


Drink every time:

• Monta Ellis leaves his defender behind him
• An announcer mentions the fact that neither Stephen Curry nor Brandon Jennings was the Rookie of the Year last year
• An announcer asserts that either one of them very easily could have been
• "David Lee" and "hustle" are mentioned in the same sentence
• You turn to your computer to watch this video:
  

Finish you beer every time:

• Jennings's 55-point performance against the Warriors last year is mentioned
• Corey Maggette playing his old team actually seems like a relevant narrative
• David Lee knocks someone's tooth out
  

Take a shot every time

• Jennings scores a point over 50
• Monta Ellis scores a point over 50

One Game We Definitely Will Not Watch This Weekend: Detroit Pistons vs. Los Angeles Clippers


Drink every time:

• "Blake Griffin" and "single-handed" are said in the same sentence
• The Clippers bench reminds you that you have to catch up on The Walking Dead
• You get intensely nostalgic about Ben Wallace
  

Finish you beer every time:

• Griffin tries to throw himself an alley-oop
  
• Kevin Garnett runs onto the court to give Charlie Villanueva a hug

Take a shot every time

• The sorry state of these two teams makes you think long and hard about how perfectly Detroit and Los Angeles represent the dual economic and moral decay of our country, and then you realize you sound like a member of the Tea Party. Whoops.
