May 30, 20169 yr It's funny I was out for dinner at a pub with the game on and I found myself watching a bit of it because other people in the place seemed to actually care... it was an odd experience. Almost unsettling.
May 30, 20169 yr I'm nothing if not patriotic....so there's that end of it that drives me to *want* to care, but A) It's basketball *fart noise* and 2) It's SO Toronto-centric (as opposed to the Jays and Leafs which tend to be more national) that it rubs me the wrong way.

May 31, 20169 yr I actually watched their entire playoff run. i get the feeling cleveland gifted them those 2 wins in TO so they didnt sweep a 3rd straight series, thats alot of lost revenue for 3 missed game 5's (and potentially 7s)
May 31, 20169 yr I never watched but.... I'd agree Cleveland let the raptors win those 2 in Toronto cuz the 4 wins they had were by a combined 5000000 points
