I'm not sure they are going to know what to do with themselves if we ever win it all. They are in general very dismissive of whats going on up here. Any other team in the league makes the moves the Raps have made since the offseason, and they are being hyped as contenders and potential GSW de-throners (is that a word?)
The American media was 150% behind the Raps heading into that Cavs series last year. Even Vegas was picking us to win it convincingly. Raps absolutely cratered, yet again, especially DeRozan. It's how we have been exiting the playoffs that stays etched into their minds as a lasting impression. 3 out of the last 4 were pathetic sweeps (not just Lebron), which would have been 4-for-4 if the Cavs didn't go into party mode early that year we went to the ECF. Great regular season team is our rep, until proven otherwise.
With DD & Casey gone, I suppose now it comes down to not trusting Lowry, and an unproven Nurse, which is a completely reasonable opinion.

Our man Bosh....
A couple of thoughts ... Chris Bosh is not an alpha male leader type. He is quite the follower in my view ... and latched onto Lebron and Wade.
That he left to go to Miami was a choice he made and perfectly his right under the movement rules. He however did a lot of fence sitting that last year postulating while he knew he was going. Dont blame him.
...cause it was the nutsack BC who allowed him to play the Raps. Bosh in my view could not lead the Raptors without significant help let alone another frontline player better than him. BC should have traded him the year before for what would have been a great return ... so we did not have to hear this version of events ten years later.
