OT: The Other Sports Thread Part XI

[GoodKiwi]

The Jays sweep the double-header against the Phillies.

They trailed 0-7 at one point but then PHI BP came in and the Jays scored 7 runs in the bottom of the sixth.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Can't wait for game two of LAL-POR!

Hopefully it's nice and competitive.

Back to back to back to back games where the Padres hit grand slams. Never been done before. Thanks for coming out, Texas.

What a f***ing slide by Gurriel Jr.



EDIT: What a BS reverse call.

 

[GoodKiwi]

The Jays win again!

5 game win streak!

Raptors smash the Nets to take a 3-0 series lead!

I think I saw somewhere this is the first time they ever had a 3-0 series lead.

You're correct.

I believe there are only two NBA franchises remaining that have never held a 3-0 series lead.

1000000% well deserved.



Nick Nurse Named NBA Coach of the Year | Toronto Raptors

Raptors smash the Nets to take a 3-0 series lead!

It's crazy how good this team is even after losing Kawhi. Their bench is just insane.

Their bench is really good, and while players are the ones who play, Nurse has really done a fantastic job getting the players to buy into his defensive structure and winning by committee.

Buh-bye 76ers!

About to be swept by the Celtics.

Now BOS is going to be nice and rested for their second round series against the Raptors.

 

[sandviper]

Go Raps!

 

[DangerDave]

Lowry down

 

[DangerDave]

Norm Powell has to be my favorite Raptor. His drives are a thing of beauty and he's so clutch in the playoffs.

 

[GoodKiwi]

The good news the Raps can have as much as 8 days off before their second round matchup with BOS.

Fingers crossedLowry's injury isn't that bad.

Ibaka has also been out of this world tonight coming off the bench. 12-14 FG, 3-3 from downtown and 15 boards.

100 (!!!!!) points from the Raps' bench tonight (granted Lowry's early exit contributed to this total)!

150-122 final sore. A four game sweep for TOR. The depleted Nets could only hang around in game 2. The rest has been a slaughter-fest.

100 off the bench has to be a record

100 off the bench has to be a record

I have no idea, but as someone who's been following the Raptors very closely for the last 8 years or so I don't even remember 70 mentioned as far as bench points go by this team.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Quick Google tells me that the prior bench points record was 92 for the Wizards in earlier this year, most the NBA since 1977.
