The teams have nothing in common. The Flames were the ultimate underdogs throughout the season and in every round. The Raps have been a top team for years and went all in for one big run.

You can compare the fans. Like the 04 run expanded the Flames fan base and brought back lost fans the current Raptors run seems to be doing the same. I have noticed all sorts of friends that I didn't know were basketball fans cheering on the Raps. Personally I gave up on the NBA around 15 years ago after the Griz left, the Raps kept sucking, and that whole Lakers Kings WWE BS happened and I'm even starting to get interested again.
