Gotta agree with Sid. Can't complain about being on TSN 5000 or Sportsnet Euro and then not make your voice heard when the opportunity to show support for the team is there. This isn't the cool team that was VC ETAL. If Raps fans show loud, serious support, and more importantly large numbers that would show tangible numbers to the suits at MLSE that b-ball fans are serious, and deserve more respect.

I'm going to the pregame party for sure! I was lucky enough to get tickets but if I didn't I'd definitely be outside watching! I really hope the turn out is huge! People might complain that it's early to start a party but that's what bailey's and coffee is for!Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways
Because its 2015

For those who cannot listen this is what Sid is saying:
He's saying there are conversations even after 20 years of Raptors basketball where the networks are not respecting the team or the sport. They believe it's a niche thing so they refuse to support it. They call it fad and that it'll end up like the Expos.
If basketball fans ever wanted a voice to show the people in power/tv networks that Basketball is NOT a niche thing. This Saturday is going to be very important. Show up and make it a story. If you don't show up nothing will change. Make it a story outside of the ACC as much as it will be a story inside."Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed

He's right! We all complain on how the Raps are shown on TSN2 or SN1 while games like curling, NASCAR, or shows like hockey tonight with Bob Mackenzie and Nick Kipreos etc. are on the main channel. We fans should make a statement and support our beloved raptor team esp now while they're having a pretty successful season.
Hell , if the Raptors end up losing, TO should riot a la Canucks fans LOOOOL!!!! Or we should all head to Brooklin in Whitby and riot there LOL.

We will win with honor, and lose with grace. It's our first season here with this team, many more to come!

Holy shit Sid's got me jacked up right now. As a fan and a person in media/communications - everything he says about execs thinking its a fad is TRUE. Loving this call to action, to the point that I will now be driving an hour and a half to attend.
