1)  NBA Championship @ the Lounge:

 Where/when: J.R. Crickets Lounge, 2348 Cascade Road. Game day is Sunday, 8 p.m. 

The Event: Win or go Home, the NBA Championship is here. In a remake of the 2006 NBA championship, it’s Dwyane Wade’s Miami Heat vs. Dirk Nowitzki’s Dallas Mavericks.   This time around, the Heat added superstars LeBron James and Chris Bosh along with deadly 3-point assassins while the Mavericks have added Jason Kidd and Tyson Chandler along with some feisty guard play and riflemen from deep. This series promises to be a long series with action all the way through as the series is tied 2 up.  Please sit back, lounge and enjoy your favorite wings, signature dish or whatever strikes your hunger and wash it down with an array of drinks while watching game 6 relaxing at the new JR Crickets Lounge.
