Series Thread: 2) Toronto Raptors (56-26) vs. 7) Indiana Pacers (45-37)

Raptors were on the edge of choking this game. Needless to say, I have/had more respect for the Hornets than I do the Raptors. That team is mentally weak.

This is one of the worst best games I've watched

@DJ we need answers. How did you end up a UCLA fan instead of USC fan even though you're a lakers fan

For me, I have Relatives who attended UCLA.

Clear push in the back by DeRozan

 

[Heatles84]

Wow. What a blatant push in the back by Derozan. Glad to see the horrible officiating happens in all other series.

Well, I know that UCLA has a lot of championships in things like women's one legged hop scotch and I know they have a top notch men's flower arrangement team.

But in real sports...Trojans/Lakers > Bruins/Clippers

Not to mention, the Clippers have contributed as much to the Bruins/Clippers title count as I have.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Well that was unnecessarily dramatic.

 

[trojanfan12]

Alright, one of you Heat or Raptors fans make the series thread.

The Raptors played like crap.

Heat will win in 6

Nah, I just didn't want you to feel like you were all alone.

Because the Heat didn't blow games they probably should've won too?

I think the Heat will win but they don't impress much more than the basketball dinosaurs do.

Don't forget back to back Championships in blindfolded, one hand jacks!

Is it possible that basketball could overtake hockey within the younger generation?

Lots of hoops talent in the Toronto area.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Is there some unwritten rule where it states that Clippers fans must become UCLA fans while Lakers fans must become USC fans? Just curious.

I need answers @trojanfan12 @Lakers+USC=#1

Damn, we already let the Clippers claim LA, you think we will let them claim USC too?

In short, no. Ball is definitely more popular amongst the ethnic communities of the city and the suburbs (we have huge foreign-born populations and their offspring are largely the newer Raptors fans you see in the square outside the arena and the ones playing more), but interest in hockey will dwarf that of basketball for the foreseeable future. Ask again in 25 years.
