One thing with raptorstv is that they do show other teams live. So if Raptors are the only game you watch then cancel it. If you like a little variety though then its not so bad. Plus when the Raptors are playing horribly its nice to switch.

Its funny how people hated it when Raptors TV would broadcast many games in the past and then now they only show 2 and people hate it that they don't broadcast any games.

IMO I would still keep it, its like NBA TV except more Raptors content.

how is that bad.. TSN2/TSN/Score are now easier to order so we don't have to get RapsTV separately to watch a game.......

i dont mind. less games on rapstv means more games on Score/ScoreHD for me.

For a channel that is basically free, just pennies a day. I'm happy with all the extra NBA content I get.

Without Raptors NBA TV we would see a lot less games here in Canada.

Agreed. A subscriber is practically paying loose change considering the monthly cost for this one channel so expecting any premium content for loose change is acting...well...retared.

This.

I like some of the NBA TV content, plus you usually get a couple of NBA TV games each week. Combine that with the extra pre- and post- game Raps content, the channel is a bargain for the price.

I'm more concerned about that article from the Star last week talking about MLSE's potential plans for a single channel for the Leafs/Raps/Marlies/FC. I'd hate to lose the NBA TV content we currently get on Raps TV, especially the games, as I don't think they're available on League Pass.
