Answer my question. What is magical about Toronto that doesn't exist in other fanbases. You haven't' been able to answer this magical factor. Until you do, all fan bases have bad apples. That's the reality of the situation.

Racism is not something specific to a geographical region either (unless that "geographical region" is the Earth). Again outside of Philly and Boston, two of the worst NBA fanbases along with Utah, never have you seen the crowd cheer about and injury and wave a player off the floor.It's apples to oranges to compare to something like the prevalance of racism?
Again, I'll ask the question that nobody has been able to answer. Why would Toronto magically be more prone to this level of douchebaggery that others places wouldn't be?
Maybe because that crowd is the type of environment where people that would start a chant and wave at an injured player isn't immediately shunned? Maybe because the Raps fans that weren't cheering are like you and don't particularly care about it?
How often have you gone to an NBA game? You see a lot at one and one major thing is how crowd momentum builds. Enough fans going "this is unacceptable" would've made it so that even if there was a cheer it would be absolutely minor.The answer is, they aren't. There isn't something magical in the water of Toronto. People suck anywhere.
If you put Utah fans, Boston fans, OKC fans, etc in the same situation, with the same factors etc, you'd have a contigent cheering Durant getting hurt. People just suck, that's the way it is.
So you think we'd get n***** chants in Atlanta? Totally. Everyone everywhere is the same. I mean it's not like we can look at Boston, OKC, Utah, Atlanta, NY, and Toronto as cities in general and see plenty of large differences in their populace, what they value, etc.

Browsing this forum for a couple of days is all the proof anyone needs that Raptors fans are ... different.

Projecting your fanbase's behavior onto others. Not every fanbase acts the same. We all have jerks within our fanbases...but last night was more than a few bad apples my dude

If they did it was towards the end of the thread and probably after the concentrated effort of Raps fans (and non Raps fans that like defending **** people like yourself) attempting to misdirect the conversation. A thread that should be full of people talking about how terrible those fans are is now a thread of people saying they're horrible and people like you going for the gold in mental gymnastics.
So you think that all of Raptors and NYK fans here who together have more posts and members than all other combined, are any different than representation of the fans of these two teams in general population? They are not! Go to our board and you will find plenty of idiotic statements ALWAYS. But, thankfully we are not all the same and you cannot disregard statements like "Raptors fans are trash". In that context they are as trash as Knicks fans, or any other team's fans.
This is absurd. We're hardcore fans around here and not at all representative of the average fan. Seriously the Knicks board vs Knicks fans vs Knicks media wildly differ. While our fans were hating Phil the board didn't flip until well after he was fired for example.

Most of the crowd actually cheered in support of KD after the fact. Like Max Kellerman said, I don't think people realized the severity of the injury at first, it was an initial reaction that we would be playing against them without KD.

The behavior of many Rap fans are the reason why many don't like them. Normally root for underdog, but never seen such an obnoxious fanbase for a team that's never won jack. The KD thing didn't even surprise me

I stand corrected. You, Nicks fans are not because you suck for so long (no pun intended). But we are 100%. Everyone is now Raptors fan despite the fact that 75% of them cannot name 2 of our bench players. So what do you expect - people who never watched full basketball game in their lives before this Finals, to recognize what is the common protocol on basketball game? Same on this board - we have people creating accounts just to say 'KD suck".

The crowd erupted when Durant started limping after he got helped up. There is no way to spin this my dude
yall should just embrace it at this point. You've entered the darkside. You're still nowhere near as bad as Boston, so don't take it too personally lol

Was at the game and it definitely was a different perspective in the arena than it was shown on TV. Fans were cheering because we scored off a turnover. They also showed the replay in the arena. The TV cams stayed with KD on the floor. Once he was helped up and fans realized he was hurt they started chanting "KD". A few a**holes don't dictate the entire fan base nor the 19,000 people at the game. Entire thread should be locked.

I call bs buddy, lol. You've been hating on the Raps for a while now, and sometimes it seems like you're trolling so I don't really believe you.
Our fans have never really been obnoxious before (up until this point). We're a passionate bunch and we can get emotional, but the majority of Toronto is respectful and safe, which ultimately reflects the people within the city, does it not?
Can you fault the fans for being confident in their team? What about Lakers fans when they got Lebron? You would have thought they won the championship already.

I have defended other fanbases because I hate the generalizations.
