Not that crazy considering they represent a whole country. Could you imagine if it was the other way around and America had a lone knicks team in Canada!? Now that would be crazy

lol. 95% of people outside of the GTA don't even know what basketball is

What fanbase? We have more mods than the Nets have fans.

They still represent a whole country. Very easy to pick them as your team if you're Canadian.

Will be funny if Raps beat Nets. Blatant tanking just to get knocked out in the 1st round. With that said I think this series will go down to 7 games. Hopefully I'm wrong though

why are there options in the poll that aren't Raps in 4?

If I were the Raps fanbase, I'd be tweeting that pic to the NBA, Raptors, and ESPECIALLY ESPN.

Tweeting it a LOT.

Every other playoff thread has ~5 pages, this one has 20+ already. Gotta love Raptors fans.

Anyway, rooting for the Raps to win. The Nets are gutless filth for tanking like that. With that said, I think the Nets playoff experience gives them the edge. Nets in 6. But hoping for Raps in 4.

Do you know what the population of Canada is?

It's going to be tough for the Raps to play 5 on 8

Means nothing majority of the Raptors board are from GTA. Other Canadians will often cheer for team that is closer to them

Man this season was eerily similar to 06-07 for the Raps. Hopefully the outcome is different this time around. Hard to bet against D Will KG and PP though...

You gotta understand, they are excited to be in the playoffs for the first in a long time. They are excited. It's cute.

Can someone please explain this ref thing and the Nets? Why would the refs want to favor Nets? I don't get it.

Maybe 3 years ago. None of those players are superstars anymore, and the last two are basically dinosaur bones.

Raps in 3

I can't say I've ever seen a fanbase so up in arms about a reffing controversy before the playoff series even begins. God bless the Toronto fans.
