The key tonight is to make sure no stupid wiener kids interrupt your viewing of the game with their trick-or-treating. I suggest disabling the doorbell, turning off all lights, drawing the curtains closed and sticking to headphones for sound. That's how I watch every Lakers game, but tonight it'll be especially handy.

Our game-thread rules are here. Once you've signed them in blood in a midnight Wiccan ceremony, boil up a kettle of your favorite witches' brew and turn yourself into a newt whenever they show:

• A fan in a Halloween costume,
• A Laker Girl in a Halloween costume,
• Stephen Curry on the bench,
• The new banner, or
• a World Series score.

Boo!
