OT: The Other Sports Thread IX - Go Astros go!

[GoodKiwi]

Exactly. I have experience watching teams that suck, so I'd know.

Padres, Jets and Habs fan. Life must be rough.

I have a decent liquor collection at home.

I will find him, and I will end him.

Do not hurt a posting legend. It's bad enough what happened to Big Papi this week.

Then I will find him and I will hug him.

Now that Raptors have won, I wonder which wagon Drake will jump on next? He's been on so many it's hard to predict.

As someone who lived through those years as well and also watched the first ever Raptors basketball game...had you told me we'd be here 20, 15, 10, 5 or even 1 year ago.

I would called you crazy. The Toronto Raptors not too long ago were the armpit of the NBA, a joke a team who had a purple dinosaur on their jersey.

Vince Carter (who put basketball on the map in the country) wanted nothing to do with playing in Toronto anymore, McGrady had already left, Alonzo Mourning spurned them when he was traded there, Lebron James aka Lebronto basically owned them.

Now they're World Champions...just crazy.

To think that this team was one Knicks deal away from a full rebuild back in 2013 to now is truly something. When the Gay trade happened I was preparing for a full gut job. Fast forward 6 years later and we're champs.

That’s me just watching the Habs in January, no money on the line

 

[Garbageyuk]

Damn this hurts. Been a Warriors fan since the 90's. I know they've won a lot, but this really does feel like the end of an era. Proud of my team though, they showed incredible grit and heart in this series through everything.

 

[sandviper]

Watching the Raps win also makes me want the Habs to win even more. I would definitely shed tears of joy if that happens.

FWIW, when the Blue Jays Won in 92, we won the cup the following season.

Yeah, that’s baseball and yesterday’s win was basketball, but hopefully Toronto success equates to Montreal success next.

Or, the Als win the Grey Cup...

Only time I've ever damaged property while watching sports was when Justin Williams injured Koivu and we lost the game in overtime.

Jays had won in 93 too.

I don't see it that way. I think they're gonna try to sign both KD and Clay to max deals and keep this thing going. They're all young enough to be good for the next 4-5 years so I don't see them giving up on this core just yet.

 

[pepperMonkey]

Overreaction? That would depend on just how much he had on stake

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

The only thing that sucked in this game is that the last 0.9 sec lasted 10min

Kinda killed the mood

He's a Habs fan next year.

Drake been on the side for a while he was there against Lebron twice.

Oh, I know, but I was timing a franchise first from one city to a win by us.

Of course, all of this means zilch, but I’m just going to roll with it.

When the Habs won the cup in 86, I went to town on a parked car. I smashed the windows with a bat, and bunch of friends and I tipped it over. After, I spray painted GHG on the sides of the car.

Needless to say, my dad wasn’t happy about taking the bus to work for the next month with our car in the body shop

What is the deal with that? As a guy tuning into my first NBA game ever I wasn't very impressed with how anticlimactic the final moments were.

On one hand, I imagine you're kidding. On the other hand, I kind of hope you aren't.
