They dug themselves into a hole in first half. Not easy playing from behind, especially against a team that seems to be better overall right now. But it was promising to see them outscore the Celtics in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Let's keep that up going into game 4 and really make it a series please! Had they not totally blown the 4th quarter of game 2, they'd be up 2-1 now...

Well, they pulled out a win. They needed that performance from Lowry. VanVleet was better too. Guard play seems to be the key to winning this series. It's a bad match up for Siakam, and he isn't a superstar kinda guy like like Kawhi (or even Tatum) who can get a basket at any time for the team.

I'll pass on both, thanks

I made a Discord account back near the start of the pandemic to try to reconnect with some Internet buds from an old forum from forever ago. Turns out we were all either to lazy to actually login or never online at the same time as each other. Might as well have just kept posting on a forum. So in response to the topic question, "What do?" Deactivate/delete that sucker and post more here!

I just took a look at the bracket because I don't even know which teams are in or out anymore... Good to see the Bruins out. And I hope the Flyers are next to go. I probably won't watch any games, but I would maybe jump on the Isles' bandwagon if they get to the Cup Finals. There aren't any likeable teams left in the West

Apparently Erased is on Netflix now. I might have to give that one a re-watch soon

The free throw discrepancy in the first halves of both games was questionable... but the Celtics have appeared to be a bit more disciplined on defense. And the Raps were especially sloppy in game 1. I took my kids out to the park at the end of the 3rd quarter tonight. At the time the Raps were in the lead. Glad I didn't stay home to watch Q4

I'll cheer for the Dads The Jays made some moves at the deadline that might make them a bit more competitive. They are in on the Wild Card race. All the teams behind them are bad so their position seems fairly safe if they keep playing well. They probably won't get far in the postseason, but I'll be excited anyways!

Did they try anything else after that? I've read a bit about ECMO, sounds like it helps in at least some critical cases. I'm not sure how widely available that treatment is though.

Speaking of kryptonite, the Bucks may not get past Miami. They seem like a team built to beat the Bucks.

I watched through the 3rd quarter and then gave in. So many missed shots. The Celtics are very good. It's going to be a tough series. Right now I'd probably bet against the Raps

That's a bummer, sorry to hear it. Was she on a ventilator for the last few days?

Correct

Thanks for the invite, web

I wonder if they'll play games today. Apparently the Jays/BoSox had just taken the field yesterday when news started going around about the NBA strike. Other MLB games were walked out on, but the Jays game went ahead. They won, though it's hard to say how focused the players were on the game with all the stuff going on. Also the Jays traded for Taijuan Walker today. If the season keeps going then they'll definitely need the pitching help. Sounds like the cost to acquire him wasn't very high either.

Do you think a third season would be another 25 episodes..?

Not reading any spoilers!

Parasyte is fantastic

I was wondering if this season was going to be the end or if there is more story. Never read the manga so I didn't really know. But it does seem like it is building towards an ending. Very curious to see what will happen!

The 3-pointers were going in pretty easily last night. I hope they can stay hot going into the series with Boston!

Sure hope Kyle's ankle is OK Got the sweep though. Bring on the Celtics Right now it looks like they're perhaps the toughest match up for the Raps.

So many bullpen days this summer I'm still excited that baseball is back, but I have to admit that I haven't _really_ enjoyed what I've watched. Not as much as I used to. It feels like the games have gotten even slower if that's possible. The pace of play rule changes don't appear to be working. Pitchers seem to be throwing fewer fastballs - lots of breaking stuff and other slop - and so many at bats go long, full counts, etc. I guess with all the homeruns these days, pitchers are not willing to give in and throw fastballs as much because the hitters will make them pay. They lean more on their breaking pitches. It really is a three true outcome game now. And with so many pitching changes every game, it feels like nobody - pitcher, hitter, or us fans watching at home - can get into the rhythm of the game. I dunno, maybe they need to deaden the balls a bit. I think they're juiced
