I was addressing solidarity with, team spirit and other sports cliches while you are focused on opposition to a semi serious tongue-in-cheek suggestion....because MLSE is "milking" you? It must then pain you much to support the Raptors by watching their games on tv (watching the ads their games spew) and possibly buying paraphenalia etc. btw, the suggestion/contribution was voluntary as every other act we as fans perform in pursuit of following this team.
MU clearly had a brain fart and should have expressed himself differently. Even the fine was clearly a change of mind. Perceived or not he was referring to the Nets positioning themselves to play the Raptors over the Bulls. That has nothing to do with the price of hot dogs in the ACC.

But anyway, it's all been blown out of proportion. I can't see how people think it will backfire. If it gets the fans more pumped it's a good thing. If it gets the players more pumped (less likely) then it's a good thing. If the Raptors lose does it look (to some people) a tiny bit silly? Maybe, but who fucking cares? If they lose to Brooklyn what matters is they lost, not what was said before the first game. Like MU said, it's an attitude we/they have to have. Some people are already basically apologizing for it. What exactly are you afraid of?
Me? I want the team to beat the pants off the Nets. This has been a distraction so far. I believe the distraction puts unnecessary pressure on at least some of the players seeing as how the Nets have some of the champ smack talkers on their team who tend to back up their trash. "Who cares?"...why hasnt MU stopped profusely apologizing since that very bold "pre-meditated" statement? That is embarassing... he isn't shrugging it off is he?
You are right on the blowing out of proportion. The sentiment was great but I stand by the he made a wrong choice of word.

Him and Kyle Lowry can be shopped into a few album covers, but this was more topical.
Until the series's is over, no mentions about jay z unless they are insults. Drake ftwI'm back. I no longer worship joe johnson

This thread is whack.....
FUCK BROOKLYN
About time a toronto player/ manager/owner stood the fuck up for this city and for a team here.
Canadians and our ridiculous holier than thou need to always be polite kinda makes me wanna vomit. In two words.....two syllables, Masai basically said about 4 paragraphs about how this city and franchise choose to move forward. Unapologetic, and without the boring, canadian ass kissing you see so much.
Fuck Brooklyn indeed...... and guess what, it worked.

Bad call.

I like Masai, but that was lame."Stop eating your sushi."

Axel wrote: View PostLame it was not. It showed a type of attitude that Canadians and their fan-bases lack, and that's a willingness to stand up to your opponent who disrespects you, mouth off and not back down. It's taken off into a kind of a rally cry, which is awesome and bizarre.
I don't see American GMs saying "Fuck this team, fuck that team". I've never seen any GM do it. This isn't a Canadian vs. American thing. This isn't a 'Canadians are too polite' thing. It has nothing to do with that.
It made Masai look and sound like a child."Stop eating your sushi."
