I have NEVER reported any of their posts. Some people can't take a joke. Detroit forum for awhile for me.. GB is becoming annoying.

For the record though - Yuri Vaultin (their mod) is a cool cat.


Theres no point in engaging the rabid Raps fans as they are largely delusional, for example

2012- Jonas V = the next Duncan
2010- Ed Davis = the next Jermaine Oneal
2009- Demar Derozan is the next Vince Carter
2006- Andrea Bargnani is the next Dirk

When you get riled up by an organization/team who have been 1 of the worst in the NBA and forgetting the fact that we have 3 NBA championships,finals apperances,countless times in the playoffs, hof players,when you think of historical NBA teams you think la,bos,chi,det,nyk,honestly who cares what people have to say because it becomes pretty obvious who the real basketball fans are and then you have the guys who like to troll.

10+ years on and the Raptor fanbase is still the same!

I realise they're hardcore fans and wanna "stand up" for their players... but there is no GM in the league that would trade Drummond for JV.

That doesn't mean JV sucks or is a scrub - far from it. He has the chance to be an elite player at his position.

It's just that what Drummond could be is so rare a GM would be insane to give that up...

I do believe Raptor fans thought BC was actually insane too....

No need to bash each others fan bases, Raps seem to get dumped a lot but we do have devoted fans like myself who respect other teams, except heat lakers and Knicks, :wink:

I do think Val will have a better sophomore season, purely because he will be our clear starter, Drummond hopefully gets starter minutes but now josh smith is in town and he is more effective as a pf
