OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

[Metalleaf]

yawni is counterproductive

Meh, if he goes on a hot streak his trade value may go up. Booing him will just kill his motivation to try.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

They're booing him now as he's leading the team in scoring this game and has missed just one shot?

 

[zeke]

Bargs, gay, DD, Lowry on the floor together.....I'm not sure I've ever seen a raps team with this many legit scoring options on the court at the same time.

Wish I could watch this game right now.

 

[zeke]

bargs D-ing up hard on garnett. nice.

 

[zeke]

man coach loves keeping his bench guys in DEEP into the 4th quarter.

 

[Hoss]

Gay is seeing full force the refs choosing the outcome of this game. This is complete horseshiite. Every trip for Boston seems to be a foul. And every trip from us an offensive foul. Unreal

 

[Deckie007]

I like that the Raptors keep it fresh. They keep finding new ways to lose.

The Native-looking man to the top right of Acy in the first picture is "Big John." He's the head of the Raptors personal security staff. Really nice guy too.

 

[HolyPuck]

Yea he looks like a Mafioso haha. Every time I see him I shit myself

 

[JaysCyYoung]

Great pictures though. How did you score those seats?

 

[HolyPuck]

My father works from MTY group and Mr Sub is a major sponsor of the Raptors. I get first row court side seats about 2 or 3 times a year.

The live experience of the NBA still can't be beat imo. All things being equal, I'd rather see a live Raptor game than any of the major sports live, even though the Raptors are probably my 3rd favourite team if I had to rank them.

I try to go to 2-3 games a year at least and I try to get seats close to the action when I do go. It's great being close. I was at the GS game a little while back, and it was fun seeing Andrew Bogut interact with the fans during a free throw. A guy in the front row was saying the typical "you suck" stuff, then Bogut turned and said, "have you seen my paycheck? they don't pay a guy who sucks this much" or something like that. You really don't get that in any other sport because the fans are so far from the action.

Did he say it in an Australian accent too? :lol

I was sitting in the 5th row platinums, so I didn't hear it as clearly as those upfront did. I could only pick up a few key words because it did sound like he was mumbling.

Bogut was the most talkative by far.

Classic 2012/2013 Raps loss last night.

 

[zeke]

Derozan fumbling the rebound out of bounds after that huge stop which would have kept the game at 2pts with the raps having last possession was definitely classic.

I was referring to the lead going into the 4th Q and losing. I believe it's happened to us 12 times this season.
