Decent enough reason to re-schedule a basketball game
Got to my game site tonight for a V/JV double header.
Went to the gym and saw this.



What really hurts is this game was between 2 of the top teams in the City and had playoff implications. It's re-scheduled for tomorrow night, unfortunatly I'm unable to work it as I have prior comitments...

p.s. Sorry about the lousy image quality. Photo were taken with a camera phone.

The reason they rescheduled the games was because the basket gave an unfair advantage to thoes players who hadn't had a V8 to drink.

I'm not sure I see a problem. Sure, the floor seems tilted, but if it was good enough for the bad guys in Batman, it should be good enough for you.

And, being from Alberta, I'm sure you've played through some fog before...

And they canceled because the school staff could not get the other basket to similarly tilt?

What he's not telling us is that this photo was actually taken by one of the Canadian women after celebrating their hockey gold. The basket was actually straight.

That would account for the cigar smoke clouding the picture.

Are you sure it's cigars? Maybe Michael Phelps made a special trip to "celebrate".
