I know. Same with the GO. Was hoping they would have some additional late trains tonight.

Also I feel like Skydome's security excuse for not airing game tonight is horseshyt. Even 5 bucks a pop people would pay just to sit in there. Easy money.

yup just imagine 50k right there :wow: Did the fan mention anything else about the parade like where it would start and end?

This is an event that will never ever ever happen again in our lifetime brehs because the first time is the sweetest.

Basketball and soccer are global games what a honour and privilege to live in this time.

No nothing yet, all they did was joke after about where it should start. They said it should start from Raps 905 in Sauga all the way down Lakeshore to Yonge Street and then straight up, lol. At first I was like :pachaha: then I was like :obama:

They also said they should buy back the 407 and shut that entire shyt down for the parade route :laff:

Do it :birdman:

last 2 games where the Raps needed to win the series(Game 7 vs Sixers and game 6 vs Bucks), they came out nervous and u can see how tense they were. I hope that trend doesnt continue. ultimately they won both games but you can't play around like that vs the Warriors with KD.

I know that's why I want to celebrate this right. Won't ever be the same, even if a 2nd time comes. This one is too big to miss.

But these of-the-moment new fans got me feeling like I ain't shyt. Setting up shop in Jurassic Park 48 hours in advance :mjcry: We adults got full time jobs damnit. You wouldn't know Mike James or Hoffa if they were standing beside you . The painful years :mjcry:

at first it kind of was ticking me off but now all aboard. I've actually enjoyed listening to sports talk radio on the way to work now all raptors and basketball talk instead of hockey. I think this can be a big stepping stone in finally basketball getting its just due in this country and i hope it leads to increase coverage, a basketball show on tsn/sportsnet . 95% of these fans etc are fake you can tell by their new jerseys new finals hats . But its great for growing the game. James DUthie on the radio today was saying how toronto is now a basketball town this kid on his street was the biggest hockey kid he could think of, had the net all the equipment always out in the street playing hockey. A few weeks ago while driving out he now saw a basketball net and that former hockey kid now playing basketball.

I also siad the same about my niece who now wants a basketball net and have been watching the playoffs. I almost cried when I saw my other niece 7 years old and my nephew 5 playing nba live 19 on the ps4 I gave em, both were the raptors :heh: score was 0-0 at the end of the first quarter :heh:

But I know what you mean, I was looking for my old photo today of me and Reggie Slater and Carlos Rogers :heh: when everyone used to diss the raptors the real fans were there and stuck by them through thick and thin. Whats funny if kawhi leaves and hte raptors struggle next year they will all disappear again. Just look at the blue jays

I feel you. I look at my bin of VHS tapes from 99-03 where I recorded everygame (on SP mode too, so they are just 1 game a tape :dead:)

If this leads to a shift, where after a Raptors game we can actually get some post game instead of them flipping right to hockey highlights, them I'm all for it. Need new fans to grow. But I also know that one Maple Leafs Cup could set it all right back. Guess I'm slightly salty that since 2014, my usual spots were easy to get into, could head to Jurassic Park 30 min before tip off to get into main area. But this time around you gotta bring a Camper days in advance, lol, or pre-drink for 4 hours before game time at the bar. Got my shortlist for tonight though, so will hop where needed. Otherwise it'll be home, and then maybe back out to celebrate.

Obviously an injured KD is no healthy KD but hope the Raps put it away tonight anyways.
