Big victory for bald men in the UK; Game 7s galore
Happy Monday, y’all!
Diet Coke x Coffee Creamer (also known as Afternoon Delight in Utah) taste test video is coming next week. This video also may be the start of a new series 👀.

The Daily Mail: Calling a man 'bald' is sex harassment after employment tribunal compares it to commenting on a woman's breasts
Finally a victory for us bald men, albeit in the United Kingdom. When I originally read the article, I thought that if a bald man were to go to his HR department and tattle on Wendy for calling him bald, I have no problem saying that he has a big dump in his pants for doing so. However, as a bald man, it is always important to keep in mind the following: What Would Pitbull Do? Let me tell ya, Pitbull would secure the bag and tattle away. That is a fact. No room for argument.
Speaking of an argument, allow me to put on my lawyer hat for a moment.
The ruling, made by a panel of three men who in making their judgement bemoaned their own lack of hair, comes in a case between a veteran electrician and his manufacturing firm employers.
I do not have any knowledge of the Rules of Professional Conduct (or whatever they call them over there) in the United Kingdom and I do not care to research them, but having three men with less than a full head of hair1 (underneath their wigs, presumably) serve as judges in this case appears to be a conflict of interest. Judges are supposed to be unbiased and impartial. Litigation ethics 101, folks. Seems like they should have recused themselves, or the attorney (otherwise known as a barrister or solicitor across the pond) arguing for the employer should have requested a new set of judges.
Side note about the UK courtroom proceedings: Wild that judges and barristers/solicitors in the UK still wear wigs while at court. Look at these clowns.

So many Game 7s — one of the best, if not the best, phrases in sports — over the weekend.
Dallas Mavericks 123 Phoenix Suns 90: I told ya something was special in the water down here in Dallas! Luka and the Suns both had the same amount of points at halftime (27), as the Mavs were up by 30 (!!). Wowza. Defensive clinic and a classic three-point barrage (+ a choke job by Phoenix) like you read about. Dallas then extended its lead to 42 (!!!!!) after the third quarter. No one — and I mean, absolutely no one — outside of the Dallas locker room saw this coming after the first two games of the series.
So why Jason Kidd & Co. were able to turn it around after Game 2 and advance to the conference championship for the first time since 2011? Generally speaking, in addition to clamping down defensively, Dallas got contributions on the offensive end from their secondary players.
Game 3: Dorian Finney-Smith, Reggie Bullock, and Maxi Kleber all had at least 14 points, while Jalen Bruson had 28 points;
Game 4: Finney-Smith had 24 points in Game 4;
Game 6: Bullock had 19 points, Brunson had 18 points, and Spencer Dinwiddie had 15 points; and
Game 7: Brunson had 24 points and Dinwiddie had 30 points.
I suppose it is worth mentioning how decent Luka performed against the Suns: 32.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 7 assists/game. Silly, just silly, numbers.
I am going to have to donate a lot of plasma in order to secure a ticket to one of the conference final games but if there is a will, there is a way …
Mavericks-Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. Game 1 of the WCF is Wednesday. Tip-off is slated for 8 pm CT.
Boston Celtics 109 Milwaukee Bucks 81: Well, the absence of Khris Middleton finally caught up with the Bucks. Despite the video game numbers that Giannis put up throughout the series (33.9 points, 14.7 rebounds, and 7.1 assists/game), it was simply not enough. The three-point shooting was atrocious in Game 7 (4-of-33) and the role players could not hit water if they fell out of a boat. Wes Matthews, Bobby Portis, George Hill, Pat Connaughton and Grayson Allen combined for 16 points on 6-of-26 shooting. I was not a math major during college, except for picking out 6s, but I know for a fact that ain’t gonna cut it in a Game 7.
Meanwhile, the Celtics shot very well from beyond the arc (22-of-55) and received contributions up and down the lineup, led by a Grant Williams, who scored a game-high 27 points. Since when did Grant Williams turn into Larry f’en Bird? Sheesh.
Heat-Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. Game 1 of the ECF is Tuesday. Tip-off is slated for 7:30 pm CT.

To what extent is unknown. Are the judges completely bald? Balding? Important distinctions.
