Kind of like all Raptor fans though. Ignorance is bliss.

When will the Heatbeback in the playoffs ?


We have three titles. We good.

And we have been back plenty of times since I joined...in 2003. When most Raptor fans on here seemingly weren't even born. Well at least you all act like 15 year olds.

I'm calling out a salty Sixers fan, it's completely on topic :lol:

The topic is about the Raptors.

And you decided to diss the team of the threadstarter instead of discussing the topic. It's the definition of going off topic.


he's calling out hilarious hypocrisy

Shhhh Amuricans don't want to hear that it doesnt fit their narrative. Facts arent welcome in Amurica, "Fake News" reigns supreme.

They tried to clean it up by saying that they were yelling "KD" after actually cheering his injury. Those yelling for KD as he went to the locker room were few and far between.

Nah, you’re all blowing this **** way out of proportion. It’s called a knee jerk reaction. I highly doubt a single fan knew the seriousness of the injury at that moment, the ball was turned over, Ibaka was going for a fast break dunk and KD was down and out. If anyone were to blame for this, how about blaming the media who kept adding fuel to the fire on this subject and making it as big of a deal as it was. Or the GSW organization, particularly team doctors and Bob Myers for green lighting KD to return even though he was nowhere medically ready?

To indict fans for a natural heat-of-the-moment reaction is beyond grasping for straws, everyone needs to chill the **** out and redirect the crosshairs.

And instead of showing a little grace and class when a superstar, who has done your organisation no wrong, goes down injured on your court to hand you YET MORE LUCK, you go and celebrate? :noway: I know we all love our teams, but that was as low as it gets imo. The Raps may still win the war in the end, but IMO every other fan In the NBA should be behind the Warriors for the rest of these finals. It's one thing to be tribal, but on a HUMAN level that was over the line. "God works in mysterious ways" they say, And IF this series heads back to Toronto once more, we might just see that quote come to light.

Who cares at this point. Not like the fans in Toronto had anything to do with Kevin actually injuring himself. Do you think the cheering made the achilles tendon rupture? Once again...fans are just spectators.

KD shouldn't have been out there to begin with. Maybe that is the bigger topic to discuss...not subset of fans who let their emotions get the best of them on an already emotional evening.

Besides...not like the Warriors don't have their share of classless spectators...in that case a minority billionaire owner who actually physically assaulted a player.
Literally the dumbest post of the year. NONE OF THAT MATTERS. This is a person who just injured himself and some fans were cheering the injury. That's the beginning and end of the story. The fans were jerks. Your efforts to rationalize their behavior is equally bad.

Like I said and like everyone has said in this thread...EVERY FANBASE HAS THEM. Just because it's Canada it makes it an easy target? I'm not apologizing for them but I'm definitely not going to accept that it's just Toronto and not anyone else. There are numerous examples of this happening outside of Toronto and yet this is suddenly front page news? I'm sorry but you have no argument. There is real news to discuss and not this fake outrage that is clearly targeted because you hate a particular team.

This is ironic. The only person acting 15 is you for making an absurd insinuation that because some drunk arena fans cheered, every Raptor fan can be blamed for this.

You didn't even answer my question, WhenWillTheHeatBeBack?

WTF are you talking about. i fully agree every fanbase has them. Still doesn't justify your post. KD shoudln't have been out there? Warriors have classless fans too? All dumb points.

I genuinely don't believe the fans realized what was going on at first. It's the sort of injury that doesn't look THAT serious. There is no contact, the player isn't laying down writhing in agony, and the other team is streaking down the court on a fast break which further lessens the injury.

This game has bummed me out so much. My favorite team couldn't pull it off and my favorite player outside those on my favorite team may never be the same again. What a **** game.
