Hopefully, we won't lose any games because of players with the flu.....It could cost us home court in the playoffs...Don't understand why KG and TA would not get a flu shot...

whats with the speculation he didnt get the flu shot?  we dont know whether he did or not.  it is possible to get the flu, even if you get the vaccination.

You can be fairly certain they would have had the shot. I'm sure their team physicians are smart enough to advise that. They probably just have a common cold.

Silly stuff. They should get the shots or get docked pay.

Airborne doesn't do anything. Anecdotal testimony is way too prone to confirmation bias to take seriously. Take nothing and you will eventually get better. Same with Airborne.

I feel the worst for Scal - I can't imagine how terrible it must feel to have a concussion AND the flu at the same time.  Ugh.

doc in fact confirmed they didn't have the shot.

As to why the don't take it, some people dont get them because there is a chance you will actually get a mild version of the flu. It doesn't bother me (i get one) but i have gotten sick for a few days (not as bad as the real flu, more like a head cold) after taking one.

Some people like to try to skip the make yourself mildly sick  part on the hope they won't get the bug.

No KG, No Scal and No Tony. Could this mean big minutes from Powe, BBD and Bill Walker? Could we see Giddens in garbage time?

With all the silliness in contracts these days, shouldn't flu shots be mandatory?  Law mercy!   ::)
