You know your NBA team is getting blown out when…

Blowouts are no fun. But they are easily recognizable. Here is a comprehensive list of signs that you’re watching a blow out.

The Conference Finals in the NBA have been….lopsided. Five games have been played and all five have ended with double digit margins. On Saturday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers cut their Eastern Conference deficit in half with a victory over the Boston Celtics. It was a wire-to-wire win for the Cavs, who won by 30.

Blowouts can be tough for fans, but at least we have the option of turning the game off. Those working at the game don’t have that luxury and must fill airtime. And when you run out of superlatives to describe LeBron James, all you can do is talk about the Royal Wedding.

Here is a collection of other conversation topics and signs that indicate your team is, more likely than not, getting blown out.

• The broadcast brings in the rules official even though they aren’t reviewing any rules.
• You no longer have Reggie Miller on mute because you want to tweet about the dumb thing he’s definitely going to say.
• You’re willing to take out the trash that has been sitting there for hours.
• The camera cuts to a closeup of the starters sitting on the bench looking like Ben Affleck in the “Hello darkness my old friend” meme.
• Abdel Nadar enters the game.
• You see the Andersons leave the game.
• Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson don’t talk about their respective time with the Knicks and Warriors.
• You’re angry the refs are now blowing their whistle on every play. The team could have used those calls when it was a six point game in the first quarter, not a 20 point game in the fourth.
• Commercials bring you a certain amount of joy.
• You decide now is the time to keep up with the Kardashians.
• Jordan Clarkson is taking all the shots.
• Everyone speculates on whether the star player is playing with an injury.
• The camera keeps cutting to the starters on the bench. Only this time it’s the wide shot and you know someone is about to screen shot it and put the Crying Jordan face on them.
• The score reads, Your Team: Few. Opponent: A lot.
