I can’t wait to see how our defense matches up with GS.
On paper we look like we can match well....with anyone basically. But GS has the chemistry and the ball movement.
Cannnot **** wait!

Also I feel like A LOT of people are sleeping on Pascal. The length of Lopez, Giannis, and Embiid slowed him down a bit but GS doesn’t really have that type of length or shot blocking. They ain’t going to put Bogut on him all game long 
Playoffs don’t necessarily reward the best teams....but the best matchups

Wondering the same thing.... where did you end up watching Game 6 against Milwaukee? Did you
end up going out with your wifes friends?
Just ended up watching from cactus club....they moved us from dining room to lounge which had TVs all over and audio playing. Thanks for asking

Re: Finals: Game 1 - The Evil Empire @ Carnivores, 9PM
Out of curiosity does anyone hate all the bandwagoning happening right now? I mean I'm glad raps are getting positive exposure but as a long time hard core raptors fan, it's pretty cringeworthy and annoying listening to some puckheads around me who just as early as a month ago passively aggressively **** on basketball as a sport, making comments like "omg they're so soft, in hockey at least a fight would've happened by now" to suddenly acting like they're so **** excited and want to watch every game.

Comes with the success, I'm learning to deal with it lol Asked one bandwagoner to name 3 guys on our bench who don't get minutes and he couldn't say anything but Lin... It's cool man, we have a better appreciation for this year than any casual can have!

If you cannot enjoy then crawling over to this side and seeing all those $ coming to raptors basketball then you’ve got a problem. Don’t need to respect them but enjoy it

Sure and I said I appreciate the positive exposure but again these people don't buy raptors gear or tickets to games and watch games at home on streams or iptv so this money argument holds no merit. If raps become **** again theyll just continue to **** on the sport and not know anything about it.

By talking about they are advertising it. There are a tonne of puck head bandwagoners many are definitely spending or promoting money one way or another
Some might convert
Some might crawl back Under a rock in a couple weeks. Don’t let them spoil our moment

I wonder if we will see a small lineup of Lowry, FVV, Green or Norm, Kawhi, and Pascal.

I literally converse with these people on a daily basis. That's my point I j us t find it annoying. I love interacting with raptors fans that I know love the sport and the team but it's annoying to have to interact with the fakes.

Tell them you think Fred is a bum and they'll leave you alone.

Maybe if they actually knew who he was.
On that note, it's like imagine me who isn't a fvv fan, if somehow he ever became an all-star suddenly acting like I was his biggest fan and always supported him from the beginning.

Idk if you're agreeing with me or not. Yes it would be ridiculous for me to pretend I was always a fan.
