      man I thought more teams own a D-League. I was giving Raps a hard time unfairly I guess.
      Only one thing matters: We The Champs.

        They are a number of teams with single affiliation but they don't own them outright.

        • I was hoping that Masai would get up and say " you know the Red Ants never gave Bruno the opportunity to succeed so I can't wait for the Raptors905 to show up against them and let Bruno show them what he can really do... you know what?! Fuck the red ants!!!" (drops the mic and walks away angrily and thus a rivalry is born)

          • What I don't get about the "905" name is that it doesn't have an affiliation to any single city, since it covers the entire golden horseshoe from Mississauga to Fort Erie. At least "416" is exclusive to Toronto.

            Such a dumb name. Or I am getting older. My wife reminded me that the two aren't mutually exclusive.

              MLSE thought that Mississauga was too difficult for American NBA writers to spell.

                Or they'd constantly refer to them as the Mississippi Raptors.

                  There are three NBA teams named after states and one named after a state nickname, so regional naming for a team is really nothing new. Heck, the D-League has the Rio Grande Valley Vipers and the Westchester (County) Knicks so regional names aren't even new at the D-League level.

                  • i like the name and the logo and all you negative nancies get worked over everything
                    "Bruno?
                    Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
                    He's terrible."

                        That is, sadly, the most logical reason I've heard.

                              Ok but you already promised to hire me (and several other posters) if you get to be GM of the Raps.
