You may recognize the dude above as NBA ref, Dick Bavetta (also the avatar for the world famous poker player ‘the Norfman’). The NBA zebras have been getting a lot of work the past 2 nights - 171 free throws have been shot. This is beyond absurd. Hopefully tonight they simmer down and let the players play. Something tells me the Cavs will be getting the benefit of a few calls, because despite the game being in Orlando, the league has a vested interest in getting Lebron to the finals. Don’t like it? Watch hockey.
The Nuggets beat down the Lakers last night despite Carmelo vomitting before the game. It seems like professional athletes, NBA players specifically, frequently get the most violent strains of flu. I haven’t puked for non-alcohol reasons for the better part of 6 years. Yet it seemingly happens to pros all the time. What is the explanation? You could say they travel a lot and get exposed to various bacteria but I have a more believable hypothesis - groupies spread germs. Think about it. These guys are making out with chicks all over the country. It’s a wonder that all they get is the flu.
Anyway, go Cavs.
