Nick the Greek Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 My team is the Knicks.. but I was pulling for the Greek FREAK! Bummed out the Bucks lost. 2 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: Thanks, but honestly few people in WNY follow the Raptors. NBA is just not a thing around here. Even baseball, there are more Yankees than Blue Jays fans. Personally, I always kinda liked the Jays because their AAA squad back in the day was based in Syracuse and I got to see major leaguers rehab in the Cuse. Overall I’m not really a baseball fan though. 1

Reminds me of teenage girls on facebook who post "ugh, whatever." Then they get their friends to respond "whats wrong." Just to get hit with "its personal dont want to talk about it" How many teenage girls are you following on Facebook? 1

Did I do something in the last year to upset everyone? I just wanted to say I still love you guys and your team. Your NBA team beat mine too last night. Congrats to all you guys that are Toronto fans. Toronto is not Buffalo's NBA team. The Buffalo Braves are. Sure they've been gone for 41 years now, vacationing in SoCal, but like many Buffalonians, eventually they will come home.

Even baseball, there are more Yankees than Blue Jays fans. Not living in the Buffalo area, I’ve had numerous sports discussions with people where they assume since Buffalo doesn’t have NBA and MLB teams that Buffalonians are Toronto fans. When they ask why not, I’m not certain but I reply that there is animosity between Buffalonians and the people in Toronto. Then they ask why, and my response is “I guess because they’re Canadians” Can anyone confirm this?

People like to visit Toronto but don't otherwise relate to it. Since the Braves left people stopped following the NBA, and the Mets and Yankees have longer histories and following in WNY.

They lived right behind us. I may (or may not) have jumped off a garage roof into a snow drift that happened to be hiding his VW beetle. It was his toy car. Oops! Big man in a little car! Funny sight! Great guy! Had 1/2 season’s tix at the time and loved the NBA. They’d have to pay ME to go now. May watch a little of the Finals. We took the kids to games when they were younger when we were traveling. “Be good and we can go see the Celtics play LeBron tonight.” Bribery works! About 5 minutes into a game in Charlotte once my youngest (a fierce little AAU player at the time) turned to me about 5 minutes in and said “they’re not even trying!” Amen.

TigerJ Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Hi IceBowl. It's good to hear from you again. As far as the NBA is concerned, I am not a fan myself. Once in a while something will interest me a bit, but it's not team specific, and I can't can't say I've ever had any interest in Toronto. I feel more affinity for the Packers than the Raptors.

Sorry to hear about Bart. Class act.
White Linen Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 What up Ice Bowl. Not a Toronto anything fan. As many others have said, good to have you back and you're always welcome in my book.

(OK, feel free to have fun with that one! ?)
