Next 3 days straight is rain. I guarantee next year around this time it'll be 30 and sunny everyday. Just like how it was unusually warm for all star weekend the year after we hosted :lol:

There's a ton of variation between forecasts.

CP24 calls for a high of 23 with a chance of rain for Thursday. Global News a high of 17 with on and off showers. CBC 22 with a mix of sun and cloud.

I'll say this, it's unfortunate that we've had such a cool spring. Last year the temps were rocking in the mid to late 20's from May on.

#55 is Delon Wright. I dont think the Raptors wore those Reds when Hoffa was around.

PS. Early talk around US Media Circles is that the Raptors will be lucky if they dont get swept, and they still wish that it was Bucks vs Warriors because it would have been a better matchup. Dont get how the team that lost would be the better Finals team than the team that beat them 4 straight. Do they really think Giannis would tear up the Warriors when he couldnt do it against the Raptors? :dontknow:

over a period of a couple of days, the american media narrative could flip from "the warriors are unstoppable, even without durant" to "the raptors are leading the series with Durant out. Does their title deserve an asterisk should they win it?"

Warriors won with Kyrie playing only game 1. They suck!

I understand the line of thinking, everyone was saying Denver would of been a better matchup for the Warriors than the Blazers, but that one was said after the fact that the Blazers got swept. The disrespect for the Raptors has been real, but let’s be honest, as a fan base we are use to this trash, ain’t nothing phases us as fans.

Kawhi is going to make clowns out of a lot of people.

Well at least they are already talking about the Curry Family/Toronto connection lol. Prepare for more of that.

But in his Media Scrum, Steph Curry seems genuinely excited to play in Toronto for the NBA Finals.
