Proposal: Simultaneously Watching 2018/2019 Playoff Games

rocky_da_best · Post #1 » by **rocky_da_best** » Thu Mar 12, 2020 3:30 pm

I really don't know an appropriate thread title so perhaps someone can help out.

With the NBA season being cancelled/postponed, I think we're all in need of a bit of a distraction from real life at times. I've seen on some soccer subreddits where redditors watch classic matches of their clubs during international breaks (no EPL or La Liga matches, etc only national teams). Perhaps we can arrange something similar here?

We could watch the Raptors playoff run from last year in order and create game threads/post game threads. In a way, we could keep some semblance of normalcy during this time and it might be fun to relive last years joy. I don't know about everyone on RGM, but I actually haven't watched any games back from last season and right now may be a perfect time to do it.

Perhaps we could watch the games at the same start time (more or less) and do it on days when we otherwise would be playing our regularly scheduled games this season i.e. start sunday when we would have been playing the warriors.

I'm not sure if the full games are available somewhere online but those that are well versed in that area can help out. Open to suggestions!

Tomorrow will mark the Raptors 8 month title anniversary.

Get the game thread up tomorrow, starting with the Orlando series.

Not opposed, but I dont know if I want to go back and cheer for Kawhi. Not that I don't like him, but I just have no current attachment to him.

Alternatively we replay select games from this season. It would be fun to complain about Nurse not using his bench during the 7 man rotation of the first 8 games. Then watching the 2 L.A. games with our depleted roster. . . .

I love this idea. Was already planning to re-watch the games

If it gets enough traction and mods are okay with it, I can put something together for tomorrow. Haven't looked online yet but anyone with links to last years playoffs, please post or dm

It might be fun and interesting to watch games stress free and without rose tinted glasses. Maybe we'll all learn something about the current crop of raptors, who knows. I mean from watching last year's playoffs.

Why not start from the beginning of the season? This is the 2018-2019 digest I would propose:

1. Raptors vs Celtics (double block game)
2. Raptors vs T'Wolves (no-look steal game)
3. Raptors @ Lakers (blow-out of blow-outs)
4. Raptors vs Warriors (KD vs Kawhi in OT)
5. Raptors vs Sixers (Giants of Africa Night on ESPN)
6. Raptors @ Warriors (No Kawhi beat down of the Warriors)
7. Raptors vs Pacers (4th quarter defence and comeback)
8. Raptors @ Bucks (bounceback after Spurs road loss)
9. Raptors @ Wizards (Double OT with a clutch Serge shot)
10. Raptors @ Hawks (Post-trade shorthanded win)
11. Raptors vs Wizards (Pascal career high)
12. Raptors vs Spurs (DeMar returns and Kawhi steal to win it)
13. Raptors @ Thunder (OT win with big contribution from Pascal)

Where would one even find a place to watch all these games? Is there some kind of DVD box set of the raptors championship run?

Inklink · Post #9 » by **Inklink** » Thu Mar 12, 2020 4:29 pm

Sportsnet and TSN will undoubtedly air classic games to fill timeslots of cancelled games.

I don't see how it's an issue if you posted a link but maybe a mod can clarify. Anyway, doesn't seem like too many people have commented so I don't know if it's worth it.

All playoffs games are readily available for whoever has elementary knowledge how to use Google.

I also have two games from this season which are, in my opinion, reflective of our play lately (vs Dallas and at Utah). Posting them as very fast torrents

At Utah

Vs Dallas

Enjoy guys (I hope policing on this board will allow this considering all doom and gloom happening around us.
