That’s right, you read it correctly: Tonight Is Pau-er Hour.

Hopefully you have all had the pleasure of drinking during a Lakers game (we, here at LA Ball Talk, do not condone drinking and driving; or drinking too much) but the question remains, have you ever drank the right way?

What is the right way you ask?

It’s simple. You drink with a purpose. You drink as though you are in the game. You have a job, and that job is to support your favorite team, The Los Angeles Lakers.

There may be different ways to support them, but being an active member of your community is the best way to achieve success.

Tonight, we will achieve success by holding our beers up high and drinking every time Pau Gasol (thus, Pau-er Hour) does something of statistical significance.

The following count as statistical significance:

• Made basket
• Made free throw
• Offensive rebound
• Defensive rebound
• Block
• Drawn charge
• Steal
• Assist

If you really feel like having a good time, add the bench to the game for points, basically, drink every time Jordan, Shannon, Sasha, Powell, Mbenga, or Walton score (Lamar counts as a starter, unless you feel like getting drunk, in which case don’t drive).

Oh, and don’t forget, if Pau gets an offensive put back, that counts for two drinks, offensive rebound and a basket!

Have fun and be safe! Looking forward to tomorrows stories.

Oh ya, and I almost forgot, make sure you’re wearing your Buck Foston shirt during the game!!
