How many teams in this league can afford to sit their super star 20 games and still get home court advantage in the NBA finals though?


We were fortunate that we had an amazing record when Kawhi sat. Most other teams couldn't afford this luxury. If we lost a lot more of those games I think management would get antsy and might pressure Kawhi to play more games.

Did I hear Iggy say “don’t leave Toronto” to Kawhi after the game or am I hearing things?

Load Management
Jurassic Park
Formulating your team with lengthy 3+D players
Playing big
Box+1
Using G-League to develop legit players
Loading backend of roster with cheap undrafted players
Multiple rallying cries (We The North, North Over Everything, etc)
Hired celebrity ambassadors
IBM Watson


These are all things this Raptors team is ahead of the curve on.

We're already seeing some of these influences come to fruition with copycats of Jurassic Park and teams that were pathetically attempting to copy our slogans.

Raptors are significantly influencing the league and we're gonna see a lot more of it now that we won the championship by beating Golden State.

Anyone know where they're selling the OVO Raptors championship hat? Nurse was wearing it at the postgame presser and Drake was wearing it on his IG.

edit: NVM Drake said they're coming soon.

They're better than the official hats imo.

It was our year. Kawhi carried us and the rest of the team carried him the past 2 games. FVV has ice in his veins. I just love this iteration of the team in that they just kept playing and stayed even keel thanks to Kawhi. We. Are. WORLD. CHAMPIONS. Holy #$@#$@
