F*ck.. Reeves was way better than Bargnani!!! Who's Jose Calderon?

I am in this clip, will always remember this beat down!! Raps dominated Nuggets from start to finish. Must have been jinxing Denver real good that night.

WOW! $5.00 for 500 level. That's like $1 per level haha. Did you buy your ticket at Shopper's Drug Mart? I remember the days when you could buy your SkyDome tickets from there....oh the memories....


EDIT: I can't believe the game started at 9pm as well...

i dont know why i waited so long to ignore you. your posts are senseless.

if you dont like the raptors, stop posting here. find a new team to like.

the fact that you would prefer mike james to jose calderon (not just in this thread) shows how much you know about basketball.

IGNORE.

Remember the time Acie Earl scored 40 of the most awkward-looking points in NBA history against the Boston Celtics?


Those were the days...

Too many great memories to mention but probably my favorite all time moment with the Raptors was with MMP in the playoffs when I spent the most money I've ever spent on tickets before and we forced game 7 and MMP and I both walked out waving our stupid little purple flags in a still relatively new (to us) Toronto city with the rest of the fans all cheering.

That's a moment I'll never forget.

Haha, I remember how the whole "fans naming the team" thing was fixed. The officials wanted Raptors all along, so they came up with really lame alternatives to choose from, so that we'd like the Raptors.

All in all, good choice. I dunno if we'd still be around if we were the Toronto Tarantulas. Haha @ Toronto Hogs... we would never have a pass-first concept =/.


My favorite moment... or atleast one of:

Upon hearing that Vince Carter was traded to NJ...
"Who'd we get? Richard Jefferson?" - Jalen Rose

I still think it should've been Huskies. That name had history behind it. I dont see why it didnt even make the short list ??

Most of those names seem Jurassic Park inspired...and the rest are just random animals. Yeah, don't see why Huskies wasn't on the list.

yeah, it'll be nice to give this board credit for chuck's topic choice, however, the 1,000th game topic was already brought about by media outlets on Tuesday. I personally heard it on ESPNews watching the Raptors/Miami highlights.

Agreed DH, against the 76ers..I'll never forget that parade in the streets.

I still love the blowup Raptor that eats his own head!
