Rumor that Lazar has the flu

[HelixAir6]

I saw on the ESPN pregame conversation/discussion of the game that Lazar has the flu?  Anyone know if there is truth to this?

It was posted by a UCONN fan who "knows people at MU," so might not be reliable.

Either way, I'm confident Lazar will come out and kick a$$ anyway!

Jordan had the flu in the playoffs...that turned out ok

[HoopsMalone]

sometimes when you are sick you shoot better because it slows your mind down.  A lot of players have strong games when they are sick.  Could make him a step slower to the boards, however.

We have played through the fflu many times before. And no one would tell someone if they knew they were a uconn fan that zar had the flu. If he does he'll be on iv before the game.

[4everwarriors]

IV the hell out of the dude then haul his heine out on the court.

[robmufan]

And then at halftime, hook him up again!

[mnuc]

Not that you can't get it twice, but didn't Lazar already have the flu this year? I seem to remember reports of him getting an IV before a game... St. Johns maybe??

[tower912]

Put some Red Bull in the IV!!!!

How do these guys not get the flu shot?

That's what makes me think this is a rumor.  My grandfather is a doctor and told me the flu shot was accurate for most strains this year.  I'm sure these guys are given the flu shot.

Maybe he has a cold.

[MUeng]

mnuc you are correct, he already had the flu

[DomJamesToTheBasket]

Lazar is the kind of player that can play BETTER when he is sick. He is really tough. Adrenaline and desire will get him through it.

[Big Daddy Z]

Let's hope he Puke's on Thabeet

This validates my decision to not receive flu shots. Every year, I notice flu shot recipients get the flu and I stay free and clear.  I wonder how many millions are made with the flu shot.

this years flu shot was only good for about 60% of flu virus's out there. also, the virus has been mutating this year so there is a new strand out that i am just getting over. this was the first year in a long time i have not gotten the shot and i got sick. i usually find that they keep me from getting the flu.

Uh oh, conspiracy nut. Flu shots also contain mind-controlling drugs from the government, right?

[Pakuni]

No, that's the flouride in the public water system.

Vaccines may not contain mind-controlling substances, but everyone knows that they cause autism.

[muhoosier260]

anyone remember last year? i swear james had the flu for about 6 weeks. after poor performances ignorant announcers would chalk up a bad shooting night to a "lingering flu". hayward will show up tonight though, he'd be out there with a broken leg tonight

[Ball2003]

Vaccines may not contain mind-controlling substances, but everyone knows that they cause autism.

Actually, as the myth goes, childhood vaccinations cause autism. It's because autism typically becomes apparant at the same point in a child's life as the time they receive their vaccinations. So there's the whole confusion of correlation with causation.

I hope nobody with a Marquette education is ignorant enough to actually believe that crap. And I hope Hayward wasn't dumb enough to buy into the flu shot conspiracy.

I'm surprised mviale....especially considering the gov't push for everyone to get a flu shot.  I would think you would be all over those directives.      I got mine this year, no flu yet (knock on wood)

[susie90]

Influenza shots for influenza infection

The "flu" most often refers to gastroenteritis (vomiting and diarrhea)

[Hards Alumni]

no flu for the last 8 years, and zero flu shots.

and i work around people who have it.

I R TEH WINAR.
