The other sports thread

That's where I got it from.

 

I know ...  :flirt:

Ghost, if you're out there, this drink is for you. Hope you're enjoying Derby day.

13, 11, 19, 8. Those are my horses.

[darksabre]

We're taking 13 as well. Although I like Creator as a longshot.

[ubkev]

I lost. Oh well. One of my co-workers nailed it.

[darksabre]

Nice

I wanted to restart the thread where we came up with Sabre-themed names for the horses but couldn't find it.

 

I had That's a Yeichel champing at the bit.

Not Eichel Tower?

Joining the sentiment with a belated tip of my hat ...

Bartolo Colon hit his first career home run yesterday. Pretty funny.

He gives inspiration to old / fat dudes everywhere.

 

I love the graphic on the screen letting everyone know that it was his *first home run this year*.

Steph Curry is back

[WildCard]

What the hell is a bonus and why do Portland and GS keep fouling each other intentionally?

[ubkev]

Hahaha

[ubkev]

And to answer that, in the NBA, when you get to 5 team fouls, the other team shoots free throws on all fouls after that, even non shooting fouls.

[Randall Flagg]

Curry has me watching a sport I don't even like with my mouth open in awe.

Yeah, pretty spicy. Try eating some bread.

Doesn't have a ring to it.

You're too young for dad jokes.

Fouls are the #1 reason basketball pisses me off

OKC eliminated the Spurs tonight. Talk about an upset.

Golden State says thanks!

[WildCard]

Golden State says thanks!

Really though. GS couldn't be happier right now. Looking forward to a rematch of last years finals, but with a healthy Cavs team this time.

I'm legitimately shocked. And I'm still not entirely sure how it happened.

It would be different if OKC won all 3 games at home, and somehow managed one on the road, but they beat a team that has only lost at home once all season, twice, in the playoffs. Pretty sure their only home loss was GS, right?

 

Looking at it I really thought they won 70 games too. Guess not

Nope, only 67. What scrubs :lol:

 

They are, however, the only team remaining (or, well, before tonight they were remaining) to have beaten Golden State this season. I'll say this: OKC in any normal season would look like a championship front runner, they just happened to have a great year when the Warriors and Spurs were out of this world good. Gonna be really interesting to see if they give Golden State a run, or if they look completely overwhelmed against them like in the regular season.
