I always do and my dad makes fun of me for it every time he hears it.

Always asks me what I am bringing to the team, and how much I am getting paid, and so forth, and so forth.

I try not to, most of the time I would say "The Raptors........", even though I have been guilty a few times.

Although I dont think there's anything wrong with it, all teams do that. I mean there are fans from other teams inquiring about players on their home team, and using we as well.. so not unusual at all

I say the Raptors, but sometimes we just comes out. We is used for the city of toronto, and all the Raptors represent the city of Toronto which is why I think people say we.

No, I can actually get in good rebound position. Also, I don't take jumpers all the time. I refuse to group myself with the Raptors. :)

I do. My roommates usually look at me funny. Partly because they don't know jack about hoops.

I try not to, cause IMO it sounds kinda lame...I dunno why but it just does. It's not like I'm part of the team, I'm just a die hard fan :D on these forums I might say we once in a while just cuz typing "the raptors" takes too long.
