Sadly the media may make a big deal of this, but it's just a non-story.


Do you sarcastically waive a guy off the court after a turnover?

Smh at trying to rewrite what was obvious on video. Hell, even Lowry and Ibaka were disgusted by what they saw and had to shame Raptor fans into acting like human beings.

They cheered louder after the play was over. At least be honest about it and own it.

it's not against the rules, you know. being an ****. It is just lame how you try to spin it.

Of course not all of the fanbase is like that. maybe the one cheering weren't the ones applauding on his way out.

I can see this happen to other fans, to other sports.

But at least admit you have **** in there, don't try to downplay it.

Some idiot even made a thread about what's worst, causing the injury or cheering. A nobody on an internet forum was so sure - on the spot - they caused it on purpose that he thought it's a good idea to make a thread implying it.

this kind of takes is what get me angry. not the dubs losing the finals, not the jokes, the name calling.

It may be something fishy about all this episode, i admit. But i am waiting to hear more, not jumping to conclusions and sheeting them all over the internet.

Over on the Nets board over the years Raptor fans have been some of the worst trolls to come on our board causing crap, so to see how their fanbase behaved last night in front of the world is nothing surprising.


Let's be real, no one cares about the Nyets enough to troll :roll:


Yeah, your memory must be either really selective, or very short because back in 2014 your fanbase was acting like a pack of complete lunatics and jackasses on our board.

Honestly, people are hijacking this issue to vent their frustration at raptor fans in general. Frustration that this team may win a championship after people were hoping they'd lose.

A few fans on every team are terrible people, lets not distract from what this is actually about.

People are not the same everywhere. Raptors fans are doing this. Majority of them. Did you see the reaction in “Jurassic Park” they acted like y’all won.

Downright disrespectful, scumbag behavior that should not be defended by you nor anyone. You want them to win that bad you’re celebrating an injury or defending those who celebrated it.

Fans didn’t cheer until they were told too, that’s crap they didn’t wanna do that. And here we thought that Canada was full of people with class and integrity. Intolerable behavior they showed at KD.

Bro no one cares if they win, you’re really gonna defend the entire arena and their little Jurassic park cheering KD getting hurt. That’s exactly what I’m talking about.

It wasn't just a "few" fans though, it was thousands of people, they were even chanting "F**K KD" in Jurassic park. There's more than enough clips now to see it wasn't just a few people......

Just like in the arena, they started to cheer when he limped which is exactly when the Raptor players told them to stop.

THANK YOU!

This is exactly why the thread is so long. People acting like they love KD out of nowhere. The real hate is against the Raptors who are a great bunch of guys/ high character. A few fans out of the millions shouldn't take that away. If people didn't notice, Lowry/Ibaka were telling those few fans to shut up as they were cheering etc. You can also see a video which people won't show where fans were cheering on KD as he walked off the court.

Every damn fan base has terrible bandwagon/casual fans and the raps are at the peak of this with so many fans in general.

I'm not surprised to see some fans from certain teams come here and have an excuse to hate on the raptors and continue with their agendas because quite frankly, they are mad it's not their team getting this opportunity to take down the warriors (or they lost to the raps during this run).

I am not going to read all the other posts about his but let me say as a Celtic fan, I would take Kyle Lowry on my team any day. He is all class. Starting from his handling with the asshat owner in GS, to talking about the pressures his mom and grandmother faced in relation to a clinching NBA game and finally for sticking up for his NBA brother tonight. those are the type of guys that teams need. Kudos to him.

Stop being a troll.

People are the same everywhere. Every fanbase has douche bags. There's nothing special about Raptors fans vs Celtics fans vs Jazz fans.

Remember when Jazz fans booed Derek Fisher for leaving to get his daughter better medical treatment? Remember how there have been racial slurs slung by different fanbases? Are those fanbases all scum? No.

**** people exist everywhere. Give me a break.

You can tell by the language used and the fact that this conversation is still ongoing. I and many people were appalled and said the people that did that were horrible. It's pretty well condemned by everyone. The language isn't "those raptor supporters that booed are disgusting", it's "raptors fans are disgusting" and "canadians aren't nice".

That's how you know there is an agenda.

There's been like 20 topics started just to say this same stuff. After the first 3 I thought "yeah, seems like genuine concern for Durant and disgust at those fans", 17 threads later and I'm certain it's about something else entirely.

You mean more than a few fans cheering the career altering injury of an opposing player? Seems like you're the one trying to distract.

The thing is, the Raptor fans spent the last couple years telling us all how different their fanbase was, so now when something like this happens of course people are going to lash out. The issue on the board here is that the fans are either defending it with whataboutisms, or downplaying just how many people were cheering. That's why I quoted you, mainly because it was thousands of people and not just a few, we need to be upfront about just how many people were happy & cheered to see him limp.

I'm pretty sure that all 50 of us Nets fans would not have cheered about a player being injured.

I'm not surprised to see fans from certain teams come on here, they were jealous of the raptors from the get go now they have an excuse to hate on them more.

You know damn well every fan base has D bags. Quite frankly, I'm more concerned with how players responded as they are the professional/ mature athletes and so far, these playoffs have shown me raps players are class acts and winners. Bandwagon/ casual raptor fans in high numbers shouldn't portray how all fans are, especially looking at the numbers that come out and support the Raptors.

And if you upped that number to 50,000? If you changed the demographic from 16-21 (most of what Jurassic Park is).'

If you took a random sample of sports fans, from any city, and put the same exact environmental and other factors at play, you'd get the same response.

There's nothing MAGICALLY in the water of Toronto. Humans are humans, people are people, mob mentality happens.

It's embarrassing.
