If this was the other way around and the ACC was filled with cheering Lakers fans for example I don't know if people here would be as cool with it?

Totally different.

Raptors fans travelled to Cleveland and cheered.

Laker fans in Toronto didn't travel from LA to watch the game here.

Um...

I want fans to be into the game as much as possible. The chanting at the beginning was great. But when you start throwing things onto the court and disrupting the game, then you've crossed the lines.

Fans should go nuts, make a ton of noise, make the building an intimidating place. But don't disrupt the game.

what? no way man… our fan base only started becoming this passionate over the last 5 or so years… and yet we've never had a team that we could really get behind… now that we're winning, our intensity can be unleashed… i think it's fantastic… no way this is obnoxious man… this is great.

I think the best way to look at this is.

If the ACC got invaded by Bulls fans or heats fans and they started doing their chants through out the arena. Would we respect their fan base more or hate their asses more? Would we think they are obnoxious or think they are an awesome fan base??

It is these questions that will reveal whether we're dicks or just passionate.

I want to travel to NYC to watch a raps game.

Anyone know of any resources to look at to find out where the other raps fans are sitting?

I know what you're saying but I disagree 100%, I'm not a fan of the "We the North" chant post game in the arena's hallway or w.e, but those Raptors fans are real fans, they actually drove/flew to Cleveland.

The Laker "fans" you are talking about at the ACC are mostly bandwagon fans, half of them don't even know who plays for the Lakers aside from Kobe and maybe 2 other players, those are the fans I dislike too.

When I see Bulls fans that actually made it across the border to cheer the Bulls at the ACC I don't mind them at all.

don't think the ACC will be invaded by other fanbases.. I don't think American's can afford the ACC ticket prices

Found out the answer to my question. It's a company called EliteSportsTours.

Everyone spam them so we can get a bus going to NYC on the 14th of December!!!

Well many Cleveland fans expressed enough approval that they posted the videos....
And regardless... WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK IF WE'RE WINNING?

Today''s sermon was about Gideon.

God told Gideon he did not need 32,000 warriors, nor did he need 10,000, to defeat the Midianites, he would only need 300 armed only with torches and trumpets. The few, scared the better armed and safe at home Midian army causing them to flee.

The Raptors brave army, infiltrated the Cavalier camp, armed only with Raptor apparel and chants of, "We the North, " and, "Go Raptors Go." And the Cavalier fans sheepishly exited the arena without much of a fight.

Picture our team struggling & playing below expectations.........then the Knicks come in & kick our butts in our own arena. Not only that, there are hundreds of Knicks fans in our building chanting Go Knicks Go.

Then to top it off, they stand in the hallways of our arena while we are all trying to leave (pissed off about the loss).......& they are all celebrating.......carrying on, chanting USA! USA! USA! at the top of their lungs.

Would you not think they were a bunch of a-holes?

Being the arena & cheering for your team is cool with me. I thought it was cool that the fans sung O Canada during the national anthem too.

I can't recall seeing footage a horde of Leaf fans standing in the hallways of an opposing arena chanting "Go Leafs Go" at the end after a win while the home team fans are leaving. Maybe it has happened.......not like I pay a lot of attention to the Leafs.

The only thing I can think of that is comparable is the Red Patch Boys for TFC........who have done some stupid sh*t & have made a bad name for themselves.

Actually this is how it should be. The only other 2 fanbases that would have a huge away crowd when they're winning is the Lakers and the Knicks, and it does happen.

We need to show the NBA we're a force to be reckoned with. #WeTheNorth

Most of them were with a bus tour from Toronto. They just bought up a whole section.

That's pretty awesome of them. I'd so do that if I had time for it.
