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

Donny Benét's song "Konichiwa" was apparently included on a playlist The Weeknd put out earlier this year showcasing the music that inspired the After Hours album

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

The Jays have won 5 games in 4 days I didn't get to watch a second of any of the games Caught a bit on the radio though. Also did I read the box scores wrong or are teams only playing 7 inning games for double-headers?

Yeah, I peeked at the box score early in the game and saw them losing. Until last year I would have just thought, "Oh well, better luck next time!" But I have a new confidence in the Raps to come back and eventually lock down defensively. They only allowed 19 points in the 4th quarter. I've been watching a lot of games since they started the re-seeding games, and a lot of teams have been quite bad defensively. Even teams like the Bucks and Lakers that had good defensive ratings before the shutdown. I'm not sure what's going on in the bubble. Some games look more like the All-Star game, all scoring and no defense. But the Raptors have still been doing a pretty good job of playing defense, even if there have been some lapses. Fred VanVleet has been so good. Can't help but think he's gone in free agency. There must be at least a couple teams out there with money to spend that need a point guard. He's gonna get paid for sure. Also I'm kinda worried about the Celtics right now. That's gonna be a tough round two match up. Tatum and Brown are playing really good right now, and Kemba's been low-key great too in the bubble.

Raps win again. Didn't get to watch because it was an early game -_-

Bucks and Lakers both drop game 1, maybe these series will be interesting I was hoping for more from the Rockets/Thunder game yesterday but it was pretty boring. I hope they Thunder come back looking better in game 2.

I will do that tomorrow

I have taken to using a custom stylesheet to hide stuff from posts on here / DBZ Center. I like it better, but of course that's just me. I'd just prefer if the board had the ability to customize display settings built in so I don't have to setup custom stylesheets in more than one place (laptop, phone, etc.).

Can we get a setting to hide avatars in posts? I don't see signatures on mobile, which is great. I don't want to see avatars either.
