Jinxed by Raptors Nation.

On Nov 16th, Now magazine posted a story about Raptors Nation's "We Prefer Winning" sidewalk stencil.

Since that day we are 2-6.

Before that we were 5-5.

At least Leafs fans can have their spirit. What do we get? An unrequited preference to win. Sounds like a double loss to me...

Yep, hockey hate isnt Raptor love, this doesnt help and if anyhting could backfire, just like all that VC booing. So what all you Raptors fans living in Toronto are just bitter leafs fans? go away.

We have had an incredibly tough schedule. Let's see when we start playing some of the weaker teams in the east. Playing the Suns for 2 games, Orlando for 2....tough west coast road trip....the schedule will even itself out and hopefully we will too.

No, it isn't.

II see that at King and University all the time and roll my eyes.

"We prefer winning."

What have we EVER won? Nothing.

That one was a bong idea for sure.

I think Bryan Collengelo saying we can 50 games was bad luck. Even Phil Jackson doesn't brag about Lakers. When asked if they could win 70 he said no. And I think they ended up winning like 66?

The Bobcats have actually been playing really well since the SJax trade. Before they blew us out, they beat Indy by 16. After they blew us out, they beat Cleveland by 7 and Washington by 16. I watched that Washington game and it was a blowout... the Bobcats were up 20 in the third quarter and took their foot off the gas pedal.

Make no mistake, we suck.

But there are basketball fans, and then there are Raptor fans..

You my friend...are clearly the latter.

it was obvious the bobcats were playing really well together yet they're "a scrub team"

i also hate how sometimes we get "beat by scrubs" who are actually not scrubs in the nba basketball sense but only in the raptors forum dude doesn't watch enough basketball to know who this guy is sense
