And they want to build an international brand? I love the Raps “screw them” attitude but it is wearing after 25 years. Best franchise in the league. Shaq doesn’t know Siakams first name?

And instead of the rest of the crew focusing on the game, they just kept laughing and pulling on a joke that wasn't even funny. Then Shaq started saying that Siakam and this team aren't good enough for him to know their names, we were the 5-6th seed at that time 😑

Canada has only 1 NBA team and the United States has 29. Now you tell me? Do you think those other 29 teams need any more help? There's a 99.9% chance 1 of those American team will win it just by the numbers game. Right? Who do you think the odds are more heavily stacked against? Evnvy & jealousy is really not a nice thing, and when you embrace it like that, that says to me, that there's definitely an agenda. I'm just saying!!!!!!!!

    I’m from Toronto and obviously a Raptors fan and I use to follow the NBA on Instagram to follow any updates. If you actually go on their Instagram page you barley see them talk nor post anything about the Raptors. I thought I was crazy but then I realized I’m actually not crazy and I have stopped following them. I never hear anyone talk about the Raptors on how good they played a game or how the game was played unfairly. If we beat the Nets everyone will say “Oh it’s because KD wasn’t playing” but hello what about Kyrie and Harden?!? Or if we win the Bucks 2 times in a row “Oh it’s because Holiday was out” wait am I missing something hear?!? so are they saying Giannis and Middleton are not good enough without Holiday?!? Toronto never wins, because when we win there is an excuse why we win and when we lose it’s because we ain’t good enough. When people roast our team and then say “Why is Toronto fans get so upset? It’s just a roast. Chill man” well let’s just say our Toronto Raptors never got accepted since day one and still today they are not accepted and still have been talked down to. When we won the Championship everyone would say “Oh it’s Kawhi who won it for you and if he was not on your team you would have lost or never made it to the finals” or “Toronto won because KD and Kaly was out” see we never win even when we win just excuses after excuses. You as a Lakers fan I just want to say thank you for realizing that Toronto is a hard working team. We as Raptors fans will admit that our team ain’t the best in the NBA but we have faith in them. We have love for our team win or lose. I just want you to know that I respect you and again want to thank you for all the videos you post about the Raptors. You and another UA-camr I follow are the only people I have heard talk nicely about our Toronto team. Much love.

    Finally someone in the US gets the pain we've been going through since day 1. The non foul calls has been happening for at least a decade that I can remember. You see it a lot against teams in the playoffs especially when they have a superstar like LeBron, Tatum/Brown or back when we played Brooklyn or the Wizards when the had Garnett and Pierce.
    Watch some of those games at crucial times of the game where we'd get random calls against us that turned the tide of the game.
    A great example of this is the series vs the Celtics in the Bubble. Nearly every game started with 2-3 key players being put in foul trouble within the first quarter of each game.

    I don't know what to think of the current situation. The biggest difference I see here vs the outbreaks on other teams previously is that with this Raptors outbreak players and a bunch of coaching staff are out. I haven't heard of that with other teams (significant numbers of assistant coaches being quarantined). I feel like the team's being punished for something. When something doesn't make sense there's usually more to the story.

    Why weren’t the games cancelled in the first place? I watched the Raptors/Celtics game last night. These damn refs ALWAYS favour the Celtics! There were so many calls missed from the game last night. Did Silver put a target on the Raptors after facing backlash for the comments made against Masai Ujiri?

    I like that you're a fan of another team and you're giving your non-biased take on another team. Raptors MOST CERTAINLY got finessed by the NBA and Adam Silver. Not just once with COVID but TWICE. They got finessed by Adam Silver 3 times total this season alone. KD was in contact with someone that tested positive for the virus and he still ended up playing against Toronto why? That was so unprofessional by the NBA and they didn't even take responsibility for that. Then this shit happened when Raptors players AND coaches are under health and safety protocols and they are forced to still play with what they have? They didn't do that with Boston, Miami or even Indiana. These teams took long breaks to help bring back everyone. Silver did the Raptors dirty by pulling this shit off which caused raptors to lose back to back games. The first shit show Silver did was essentially force Toronto to move to random city in Tampa Bay Florida where the COVID cases at the time were one of the HIGHEST in the U.S. Adam Silver should get sued for all the bullshit he has allowed against the only Canadian team in the association.

    • @LisaJF
      @LisaJF 3 роки тому

      Agree with most of your comment, but to be fair, it’s the Canadian govt who takes most of the blame for the Raps being in Tampa. They have been SO slow to get on top of covid and there are significant prolonged lock downs and major travel restrictions as a result.

      *Sigh* USA is worse, much worse when it comes to Covid-19... Florida started to open up months before Canada started to... and refused to lock down once their cases were going up. They had a governor who refused to promote masks. The reason the borders were closed so that people traveling unnecessarily don't incidentally pass covid-19 around. Especially when traveling to Covid-19 hot spots like... _Florida._
      The Toronto Blue Jays were forced to play their season in the States... the Raptors are forced to play their season the States. There was a reason why the 2020 Stanley Cup Play Offs was done entirely in Canada despite there only being 7 Canadian teams in the league; and 18 of the teams in the Play Offs were American. The Canadian Government understood that Sports Teams Travel... thus they refused to allow those players to cross the border. The NHL started the 2021 season with four division with a single division made up entirely of the Canadian teams; the North Division.
      Currently, the only division in the NHL which has yet to have a single player get Covid-19 was... the Canada only North Division. There were entire teams (Dallas, Buffalo, New Jersey) which had to have their games rescheduled because too many tested positive for Covid-19. This _proves_ that its not Canada's fault for the Raptors' Woes... It's the _Sates_ mismanagement of COVID-19.
      So, please do not pass blame off onto the responsible adults when you should be criticizing the children who happen to be politicians making the calls in your own country.

    It is not only the disparity of the calls... it is when the calls are given. When the Raptors get foul calls, it usually comes at the end of the game when the game is already decided, almost as a ploy to try to even out calls.
