The Omri Casspi Drinking Game

It was in the friendly confines of Lot J (salud) where I realized that Kings fans are always down to go bottoms up and pound one back. And really I mean can you blame them?

Ten plus years without a playoff appearance, busted draft picks year after year, John Salmons (I haven't even reached the tip of the tip of the iceberg that has all the bad things we've endured) Wouldn't you find things to do?

I mean after all that's what happens when you get bored. You find things to do.

Yes Kings fans seemingly have a knack to create their own happiness. They also are able to pick out one or two players on the roster that can do no right.

That's where my Israeli friend Omri Casspi comes into the fold. Before we begin I just want to say that I've been, for the longest time, one of Casspi's biggest supporters. There hasn't been a chat room or group page where I haven't gone to battle for the bearded backlash absorber. Maybe half of it's pity that everyone seemingly thinks he's the worst player on the team and maybe some of it's like seeing the kid on the playground that gets picked on by the bully (don't bully people kids, it's not nice).

Not to say in all fairness that Cass doesn't deserve some of the "constructive criticism" that he gets. One minute he's draining a three and tickling the twine. The next he's dribbling a ball off his foot out of bounds or spiraling out of control on the three man weave like during Fan Fest this preseason.

No one truly knows the origins of the Casspi Hate Train. His rookie year he averaged 10.3 points per game, but ever since then it's been downhill. Keep in mind during Casspi's rookie year social media was starting to develop into what it is now. After being traded to Cleveland in 2011, Omri came home as a Free Agent. A career high 11.8 points per game average in 2015 couldn't stop Casspi from being the dart board for the 916 faithful's barbs lately. A bad turnover, airball, and the post "CASSPI SUCKS" is up on a group chat immediately.

Yes to Kings fans watching Casspi play for a quarter would make even the most sober person dial up a shot (or six) of Fireball. So what if someone made an entire game dedicated to Casspi turning people drunk as your tio an hour into the quinceanera? Ladies and Gentleman, I bring you the Omri Casspi Drinking Game.

Getting Started

Right off the bat I want to say the Omri Casspi Drinking Game is open for all to play. Your 85 year old Grandma wants in? Better make room.

The game is divided up into 4 quarters just like a normal NBA game. Below will be a list of things you need in order to play below.

- A bottle of your alcoholic preference (preferably Fireball, Smirnoff Ice, or Jose Cuervo)

- Shot glasses for all participants (wine glasses banned, automatic DQ for use of wine glasses)

- A pencil and piece of paper

Alright sweet you got your list together! So this is how the game goes.

The game is composed of a points/shot system. We weed out the eventual winner from the losers by elimination. Every time Casspi gets in the game for the Kings there is the possibility of tallies being added to the system. The number of shots you end up taking depends on how he plays.

The shots/point system is as follows:

- Turnover (add 1 shot to the tally)

- Air ball (add 2 shots to the tally)

- Missed Free Throw (add 1/2 a shot to the tally)

- Missed two-pointer (add 1 shot to the tally)

- Missed three-pointer (add 2 shot to the tally)

Wait, what happens when he does something good?

- Steals ball from opponent (take away 1 shot to the tally)

- Blocks shot (take away 1 shot to the tally)

- Takes charge (take away 1/2 shot to the tally)

- Makes two-pointer (take away 1 shot to the tally)

- Makes three-pointer (take away 2 shots to the tally)

At the end of each quarter, do your math and add up the number of shots Casspi has tallied up at the end and start pounding those shots back. The winner is weeded out as people start to throw in the towel as the game progresses on.
