This is for scraptor and puffer and slaw, my brothers in "can't view it live"
I just finished the game. Got back from my uncle's birthday and avoided the score fairly easy here in Alberta. I avoided all you motherfuckers and I'm slightly drunk. And let me tell you I didn't sit down all game.
So at first I was most proud of the crowd at ACC. Then I was most proud of Kyle Lowry stepping the fuck up in a hype game. Then I was proud of derozan and jv in crunch time, how they seize the moment.
Fuckin pride man. This is why I LOVE sports. These raptors baby. Special group. Cheers9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

I was thinking of you guys while I watched it, imagining we were all sharing the vicarious thrills of a great Raptor team effort. Tough news Slaw. "Raptors Game in an Hour" on NBA Canada? Then I had to dip into the forum to check peels live reactions.
Yeah, hit the sack late, but it was well worth it. The wine had me feeling mellow and the Raptors had me feeling happy.Last edited by Puffer; Sat Mar 10, 2018, 09:22 AM.

1. Leo and Matt constantly bringing up that the rockets came back from 22 against the knicks, haven't lost since January blah blah, right in the middle of the Raptors rolling and leading by 18.
2. One of the biggest games of the year, second half starts, half the seats are empty. The place is quiet as a cemetery. Houston makes a run. Jack got mad at this before too. Like, are the concession lineups too long or what? You pay the big bucks from good seats, but then you miss half of the 3Q cuz you're in the bathroom or something??
3. Also on 3Q, Matt and Leo just completely stop calling the game to visit with Drake. Like, at length. Rockets is making a run, stuff is happening all over and they're just blabbing. Do they have a minimum amount of time they have to talk to Drake on these Drake nights or what? lol smh
Anyways, ACC = fortress. Go Raps!!
I have said this before that first and foremost Drake is a fan of Drake. Matt and Leo carrying on some inane drivel with this guy and feeding an ego as big as a continent for that length of time is just bad judgement on SN’s part. It was less cringe worthy than last year’s low point with a drunk Drake hitting on Doris Burke.....but not by much.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

The price of success is the expense account empty suits that now use the corporate tickets instead of the younger crowd who happily took the tickets no one once wanted.

A bunch of impressive stats in there for the Raptors, they really do match up well against the Rockets.

Anyway, this happens in every arena. Concessions are slow, bathroom lineups are long. Seats are empty coming back from halftime.

Offering this to fans and Canadian media outlets from someone who experienced the highs and lows of @Raptors ball .. don’t get caught up with what other North American writers, broadcasters say about the team . If the Raps get it done in the playoffs it speaks for itself .

But I'm glad it was a treat. After so many years of suffering this is well deserved.
