I'm not sure what the numbers are - and I understand the NFL is huge... but weird they would have an NFL game over a hometown NBA game when their playing this well.
It's really frustrating this year how many games are being shown on TSN2. I swear I tried to watch a Raptors game a few weeks ago that was shafted to TSN2 for College Football. How many Canadians are actually watching American College Football over the Raptors? You would think with TSN losing the NHL they would put some more focus on the one Canadian basketball team that is surging in popularity across the country.

TSN is trying to put more emphasis on the Raps of late - showing them first on Sportscentre, pregame show once in a while, postgame analysis.
But the fact is Raps get 200k - 250k viewers a game. Not even close the NHL, NFL, or hell, even CFL numbers.
We don't play small ball overly well and the Suns love to run the floor. Controlling the pace and focusing on half court ball favours us. Their interior D isn't the best so it would be great if we could establish JV early on, and also crash the net looking for offensive boards (gotta be careful to not let them out in transition though). 2Pat is going to be key off the bench when we go to a small ball lineup. I really wouldn't expect to see Chuck Hayes at all tonight.
Clearly you underestimate Dwane Casey.
Guess who's in the game!
What was Williams' role before he came to toronto. Bench or starter?
