Patterson's on/off numbers tanked that year because Ibaka was the "off" guy, instead of Scola or rookie Siakam. Can't confirm this, but the rumours were that he had lousy practice habits and took full advantage of the nightlife. If so, that might explain his inconsistency, more than the so-called career-ending injury, and/or that he was probably overrated to begin with.

I'm talking like with the sound of the game audible to the naked ear lol, and maybe even other people paying attention!
I've watched every game at home so far because the city was all hockey all the time, but there's no hockey tonight and its a big game! I would like to go out and enjoy the game with my girlfriend and a tall pint.
Any suggestions?

Alls I'm saying is stay at your seat. Wave goodbye, do the airplane, the windmill, the macarena, I don't care. You start blurring the lines of how far you can take it and that is where problems occur. Black and white rules are in place for a reason
I get the "classy" argument.. What Drake's doing is far from classy. But I'm over that shit. It's a war out there and Drake is giving us a mental edge. I'm loving it. And yeah if the situation was reversed I'd be mad too.. but it's not.
Sort of ironic too since it was the Bucks PA announcer that was playing Kawhi's laugh over and over when we played them in the regular season. Or Barney's song a few years ago (all during live ball action).

Springbank, but I'd be willing to venture anywhere southwest or downtown
So, the only place I know for sure is Side Street in Kensington. They often have a sizable Raps contingent there for games (sometimes they will block off part of it just for games). Upstairs at Unicorn should have it on for sure as well. Does the Regal Beagle have games on (I think that's over in you neck of the woods on 17th)? Schooners in the west end (it's a dump but it's cheap)? The old Point by my house would have had it on but that place got renovated and it is terrible.

Yeah but his antics are rattling the Bucks.. so why not keep doing it? It's not really against the rules right? He's not storming the court or touching any Bucks players. He may be talking trash out there but so do all fans. If the Raps themselves have an issue than I'd want him out of there.. but I think they love it.
Any legal advantage we can get we should pounce on it. I hated Embiid's airplane antics in game 3, but I understood it. Just like Lebron pretending he's grabbing a beer from the crowd.
A lot of NBA playoff ball is mental. If you can get an edge in the mental game that's half the battle. And Drake is helping with that.
This type of fan involvement is just not possible in the NHL with its glassed in rink... The NFL with its moat of a sideline and enough security to keep a latin american country safe....or MLB where you have to sell truckloads of beer to keep folks from realizing jut how boring 90% of the games truly are.
Keep it going....
From my cheap seat the Bucks guys are reving up the Drake thing to take the fans attention off the fact they just got beat twice in a row by a team that seems to be getting better as the series goes on....Lets limit the questions on missed shots for Bledsoe Hill or Brogdon and that the Alphabet isn't blowing the doors off the Raps inside.... Lets keep the narrative rolling on Drake running round like an chicken with his head cut off and not on your team leaking a bit of oil.
Hear those footsteps bambi's ... they are coming for you.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

Springbank? Why don't you just have a sports theatre put in your estate? But yeah, not much out there for this kind of stuff.

I'm think I'm gonna head into Kensington and go to Side Street, thanks for the suggestions. I know the owner there and he apparently puts the sound on, and is trying to encourage Raptors interest. He's a tireless promoter and it pays off with a full bar most nights9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

If he had lousy practice habits and took full advantage of the nightlife, he was probably doing that the whole time and it didn't stop him from saving the team two years in a row from their inferior starting PFs. So I don't find that a particularly convincing theory to explain his sudden, consistent and dramatic decline in performance.
