Toronto Raptors 2013/14 Season

[Senator Clay Davis]

They pretty much played like they had a game 7 at home if they lost. I think Brooklyn takes it.

I was at the game last night and it was by the far craziest live sporting event I've attended (not including 2004 Game 6 of the Cup which I've blocked from my memory). The atmosphere was electric last night and even when the Nets went on their run in the 4th the crowd was just as loud. Here's hoping there's no game 7 and we get our second series win in franchise history. Lets Go Raptors!

Just out of curiosity, how'd you get tickets? Is it a lottery system or are they just posting the tickets up at a certain time? Seems like tickets are in huge demand.

Jack Armstrong posted a stat last night that the home team in game 7s in the NBA is a record 91-23.

That's just insane. I get the NBA has some extreme splits, but that is crazy.

In basketball you score a lot of times and basically run the same plays again and again. I think basketball is the most predictable major sports. Unlike in hockey or soccer where you can score some lucky goals to upset the favorite.

And a hockey shot is a split second reflex muscle action. A basketball shot is less of a reflex action and a lot can go through your mind.

I think that's why G7 the home teams, the better teams won a lot.

There had been a few 0-3 series comeback in hockey but none in basketball.

I bought a single on craigslist. And thanks to a friend's work conflict I'll be going to Game 7 tomorrow! Let's Go Raptors!

So if my Shaw PVR is correct this game is on Sportsnet 1 tomorrow and not TSN?

[trackercowe]

Nope, it's on TSN. They've been advertising it during the hockey game.

****, I wish shaw wasn't so ######ed with their program guide, all the time.

[Hockey_Ninja]

All 3 home teams have won their game 7's. Here's hoping that trend continues tomorrow.

[RedCoffee]

ABC is in Toronto. They treat it like a really foreign place, like it's Mars! always find that amusing.

[bluejays]

This reffing is ridiculous. The Raps look frustrated, not nervous - just frustrated. They gotta give up on trying the 3's today.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Drake is the worst brand ambassador of all-time. This is his fault

And when Amir and Patrick Patterson are your leading scorers, that's not a good sign. Lowry and DeRozan invisble so far.

[bluejays]

Raps defence going from bad to worse.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

They might want to play a little defense before the game gets out of hand. Too easy for the Nets so far, playing a perfect road game.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Uhh DeMar? Game started at 1. Thanks. 4 shots in the first half? Very ugly performance so far for him.

[Hockey_Ninja]

Here's hoping Lowry and DeMar are saving their energy for the second half...

[kmart]

I don't really care that DeMar didn't show up, it's the defence thats absolutely atrocious right now.

[Hockey_Ninja]

LOL @ ESPN saying that Kobe's 81 point game was the greatest moment in Raptors history.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Raps cannot have this be a close game down the strecth and leave it to the refs, NBA would much, much prefer Brooklyn-Miami than Toronto-Miami.

[Zach]

Yes Nets-Heat are a dream match up. Going to be next to impossible for the Raps to advance.
