That raptors game though...
Game was on ESPN too, so it had national American coverage. The worrying trend for the Raptors right now and has always been our Achilles heel is our inability to make shots for a long stretch of games. I've literally become furious at the TV when open 3s are bricked one after the other. It's not even just the fact of missing the shots...it's terrible shot selection and reverting back to isolation and predictable basketball. It's obvious that Derozan or Lowry will get the ball in late game scenarios but I would rather see Fred VanVleet take the game winning shot like he did last night than see another Derozan turnaround with 4 defenders draped all over him. That dunk was vicious for sure though.
Like we've spoken about in here before, it's become all too predictable of what the American analysts and TV reporters will say about the Raptors. Houston is having an amazing season...heaps and heaps of praise and respect is given to them about truly challenging the Warriors and their chances to come out of the West. The Celtics lost Hayward early and have been performing well to hold down the number 2 seed in the East. The Raptors are on pace for 60 wins and are on a 6 game winning streak, but even more impressively, are beating teams truly as a team and their bench is playing outstanding. The only storyline is that we "suck in the Playoffs" OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. Do they continue to bring up that these other teams haven't truly done anything outside of a Warriors or Lebron driven team? No. They just continue to throw jabs at us and they truly look stupid as ****. It's clear they don't truly watch Raptors games. The only time they tune into Raptors is the Playoffs where I'm not even going to deny...our "stars" have had poor showings. All we can do is wait and see because the **** talking won't stop until we reach the finals or get past Lebron at least.
Yeah i think the Raptors are definitely at the top of that list. Tomorrow's game will be televised in the States. Hopefully we can smack the Rockets. Then im sure all the US media will have some bs excuse for why it happened lolYa I'm not saying we "need US Media validation" but that you should at least have some professionalism and even throw slight respect where it's due. It's their jobs to watch all 30 teams in the league and provide analysis. Obviously we're going to be the black sheep of the NBA and it's just ridiculous that a team that's performing so well gets disrespected to the level the Raptors have. I forgot what paper or site the author wrote for, but the guy released an article about if there's any team in professional sports that's disrespected and overlooked as much as the Toronto Raptors. I truly don't think there is.
Yup, Perfect examples. When we blew out Boston, it was all about how poorly they played. When we blew out the Cavs it was about how poorly they shot and how the team was in turmoil. Even when we smacked the Rockets, it was because Chris Paul was out...Its never because we played welland deserved to win lolExactly. We slapped Boston and Cleveland and Hoston already. Do you think Steven A Smith or Skip Bayless were talking about the Raptors the next day? It was exactly what you said. They were more so criticizing how this is fake success and we're just going to go back to a ****ty team in the Playoffs lmao.

Entered ~ 2:30 left around 5, but I took my timeHow long was the whole exhibit? From entering AGO to waiting and seeing each room?
Man I’d love to check it out but has anybody gotten in with a resell ticket?
As for the Raptors they just gotta #ProveEm, they don’t need US media validation, just go out there and win
Lol. I've never seen Spurs fans complain about lack of attention. They were happy with just flying under the radar and getting wins.
And hey, Raps are always on TSN/Sportsnet and have a whole channel dedicated to them (if I see one more commercial about the Norman Powell trade, I'm going to puke). Why do you guys care so much about what the casual American NBA fan thinks of your team?
I think it's a Toronto/Canada thing to seek recognition from the US/World
I think that's a safe assumption.does any one know if we will be getting the Tinker 3s?
i would assume boutiques will be getting them
slight work I see. Gonz is cleanBlack Gonz and water bottle.

So why is Houston getting respect? They do the same thing. This roster hasnt won anything. Most guys on that team havent won **** eitherUntil we win the East and or the Ship the US will never give the Raps there respect. #proveem and they are right, all we do is win Reg season then in playoffs GHOST....

They have won a ship. Not those players but the team in their history has.... they added a ALL-star mid last year with Chris so you will have all the HYPE with them.. those names are house hold names on the rockets. the Raps don't. Until they prove the NBA and people then they will have people knowing their "house hold names"So why is Houston getting respect? They do the same thing. This roster hasnt won anything.
