Re: Finals: Game 1 - The Evil Empire @ Carnivores, 9PM
Some of you might remember my posts about my brother and his struggles throughout the years. He passed away on Monday (the day before his 37th birthday), and honestly I'm broken. The only thing that takes my mind off of him for a few minutes is this team and the great experiences we've had this season. Life is so much more important than sports, but sometimes all you need is a passion for something meaningless that helps you through horrible times. I'm so appreciative of this team and what they've been able to accomplish, for the reason. Here's hoping they can add a bit of positivity to my day and my father's.

It's another to know about its existence for years and thoroughly trash it and see it as inferior and then now suddenly act like you give a ****.
Its not too different from the hard core folks on this forum who were negative and crapping on our team all season long, doubting lowry, nurse, fred, marc even masai and now celebrating with the guys who have been supporting them all season long and believed from the start. The bandwagon has room for everyone.
It's actually a huge difference. I talk to basketball fans all the time that **** on Lowry and I like wtf are you talking about. But ican respect that they're actually basketball fans and regardless of how wrong I think they are, they actually follow the sport and don't **** on it as if it's inferior to hockey. Huuuuuge difference.

Sorry for your loss and RIP to your brother. I'm sure he will be with you and your father tonight cheering on the Raps.

Raptors have won a series these playoffs:
4-3
4-2
4-1
Just one combination is missing, with one series left. You do the math.
