Why set yourself apart from all the rest of us. As long as you got the jiberjaber, that's good enough. :-)

Read all the time but finally joined. I am ignorant, faith based Raptor fan. I can not rest until we bring home a championship. i am will to resort to violence to make it happen. I probably shouldn't have typed that but i did. I stand by that statement.....and understand it maybe used against me in a court of law. i am from Toronto (Scarborough/Malvern) & don't believe Drake writes his own lyrics. I watch at least 72 EVERY season. Nobody is perfect. I try to watch them all.....sometimes it is to painful too watch. I'll never jump ship, and always protect this house. At least here i can vent.

Welcome Rep. Vent as much as you like here. We all do it so well.

To be honest, I don't know much about European basketball. Chalon has been dominating the french league lately, but they struggle in Euroleague against top team (Madrid, Tel Aviv, Barcelona,...).
Main issue is money. Sponsors and big organizations prefer to invest in soccer or rugby, and therefore french clubs can't afford to keep their best players...

...(Fun fact: France is the country with the most players in the NBA (USA aside obv.)...Matt

Interesting. I've often wondered about that. don't hear too much about France in Pro European league play. How do they do there?

Welcome to Raptors Republic Matt!

Hi!
I'm french fan of the raptors I lived in Toronto from 2009 to 2012 and discovered the NBA then (no soccer on TV in Canada...). I'm now back in France and still watch as many raptors game as I can (timezone difference is killing me..).
Also glad to see Pietrus playing with the Raptors now, he is a great guy! (Fun fact: France is the country with the most players in the NBA (USA aside obv.)

See you around!
Matt

Glad to have you. Please don't be shy about jumping in with thoughts or opinions. This is a great group and they all "pile on" to any poster who gets up on other guys. Just try hard not to suggest 12 player trades involving four or more teams. :-)
