The Wife's Outburst: How to have a successful NBA Finals Party

For those of you planning an NBA Finals party, and need a little help, look no further. This is your party planning HQ!

Things you will need:
1. Food
2. Decorations
3. Activities for those who get bored watching sports
4. Big TV (TiVO is preferred, but optional)

Food:
The best thing to have is easy to eat foods.
1. Hot Wings
2. Chips and Salsa or Bean dip
3. Pizza
4. Sandwiches
5. Hot dogs
6. Drinks (A wide variety is nice)
7. Egg rolls

Decorations:
Depending on who you are cheering for will depend on the colors you will use to decorate with. If you are Laker fans use purple and yellow. If you are Celtics fans use green. However if you don't really care who wins use all three colors (but your guest may wonder if they came to a Mardi Gras party).

1. Balloons
2. Table cloths
3. Streamers
4. Hats
5. Team memorabilia
6. Sweatbands for people to feel just like the players!!
7. Mini basketballs


Activities:
Some people may get bored watching sports on TV and so they many need something to fill the time with. Here are a few fun ideas for time killers.

1. Sports Party Bingo--http://sportspartybingo.com/
2. Modified Basketball--Shoot hoops with a clean garbage can, or laundry basket
(one for each team). Mark and "X" on the ground or floor where the players will stand. Each team will have their own "Hoop" and "X". They try to get as many baskets within a designated period of time as they can by taking turns. Form a line. the first player shoots then goes to the back of the line. The next player shoots and so on.
3. Print out some sports activity pages--
