Didn't know Toronto had an accent. Pretty sure I don't got it though.

 

[Eleuin]

It's a weird imitation, I only heard white kids doing it back in high school

 

[N° 2048]

yo mans been talkin like this all da taimeeeeee.

everyone person I knew outgrew that accent as soon as they outgrew their fake ass gangsterness. including myself.

 

[Renewed]

I didn't go through that phase or whatever. I think I know the accent but I can't check (coming home).

How are the Raps leading right now?

86 - 78 for Raps. We doing gud.

 

[Quadratic]

Okay Raps. Hold it for 12 more mins please...

 

[Renewed]

Got home. 16 point lead with 9 minutes? There's no way to screw this up.

As long as everyone's where they need to be and maintaining an OK pace this should be fine.

 

[N° 2048]

Game back on boys (and gals)

97-80 Raptors.

 

[N° 2048]

What is this MMA? He basically wound up a punch with a fist.

It's the Raptors. No lead is safe.

Did you guys just feel the ground shake? Oh, that was just the Raps.

Congrats to the Raptors! I hope this means all the demons have been vanquished. Cleveland is going to be a tough test, but I'm hoping for good things for TORONTO SPORTS!

It's kind of awesome to see the turnaround that's been happening with toronto sports teams

Hurry up, leafs

I really want the Raps to win....however, even if they don't, I just hope it's not a sweep.

 

[zroid]

Raps might win a game now that Lowry is playing like regular season Lowry again

 

[Brinbe]

 

[Quadratic]

Yeah, I'm hoping it's not a sweep for the Raptors.

Everyone knows whoever comes out of the East will have to face Steph Curry Supernova. Golden State are unstoppable right now.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

I thought San Antonio would be unstoppable too and fully expected them to meet Golden State.

 

[KnightHart]

I think we won two of our 3 games against Cleveland, but teams always play differently in the playoffs. See Atlanta vs. Cleveland, and San Antonio vs. OKC. The Raps can beat Cavs but they're gonna need to fight tooth and nail for every single win. Everything is stacked against them in the next series... Again.

Raptors needs the regular season DeRozan and Lowry to win against the Cavs.

 

[Kave_Man]

Raptors needs the regular season DeRozan and Lowry to win against the Cavs.

And they've had that the last 3-4 games.

Either way holy shit just got home now, my ears are still ringing from the ACC crowd. I can't believe I'm finally seeing the Raptors go to the Eastern Conference Finals.

What a time to be alive.

 

[Quick]

BRUH.

BRUH.

EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS.

WATBA

I don't believe this is real life....

Hey man YOLO.

Was downtown watching the game at a pub. When I was headed home on the subway it was full of rowdy Raptors fans. Overheard people saying that it was such an exciting moment for this generation of Toronto sports fans. Seems like a lot of fans I was around on the train weren't alive during the Jays heyday.

 

[Renewed]

The only reason I remember when the Jays won the World Series is because that's the year I was born.

We old, breh.

 

[chaobreaker]

I was still in diapers when the Jay's last won a series lmao.

Still a good day for Toronto sports in general.

Fuck. Jose getting sucker punched like that makes me so pissed.

Well think any kid born within a few years before or after the Jays back to back world series are only about early to mid 20s.

Toronto has been a wasteland since 69 if you exclude the Jays.

3 or 4 conference finals for the Leafs.

Raptors arrives.

1 Raptors playoff series win.

Leafs epic choke.

That's pretty much it.

No internet back then. We had to use vhs tapes to record the game followed by city news highlights.

Oakland A's were a good rival back then. Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Ricky Henderson, Dennis Eckersley. Definitely AL rivals.

Jays with Alomar, Winfield, carter, Olerud, Molitor and that insanely good bullpen.

Spoiler

What a terrible time in technology - imagine those stars in HD glory

Winfield and Molitor were not on the team at the same time. Oh and Ricky was on the Jays when Molitor was.

Not to nitpick but Molitor and Winfield were not Jays at the same time. Yeah those were the glory days though. I never missed a game and by the time I was 7 I could probably name every player on the roster.

 

[EvilMario]

Good on the Raptors, they did what they should have done, but didn't make it easy on themselves. Lowry out of his mental funk is a great thing.

Everything from here on out is icing on the cake. I'd love to say it'd be a long series, but I just don't see it going past five. If Irving suddenly slumps, Valanciunas comes back at 90%, Lowry stays hot.. sure longer, but that's a lot of chips that have to fall in the Raptors favour.

Both CF series will be very entertaining to me though, can't wait.
