I have a strange feeling stirring in me. It's kind of a positive feeling that something good might happen to a team I'm cheering for.
I'm usually fully of anxiousness about the crash and fall and burn and pain.
But maybe... maybe no crash this time?

I think of this exact same feeling and I have no idea how I'm supposed to handle it.... What does one do when on the cusp of something huge?
Stock the beer fridge and check on the scotch supplies?
The fact that we're up 3-1 hasn't sunken in yet, and I'm already pumped as hell
The fact that we have two attempts on home court to win is incredible to me. I didn't think we'd be in this spot.
Ya. They are called the Golden State WarriorsUsed to watch basketball in the Vince Carter days and started watching the last few weeks again and we're blown away but the number of 3 pointers that they attempt now. Looked it up and in 1999 the Raptors attempted 1171 three pointers and this season they attempted 2771. Both seasons have about the same percentage made. What happened in the last two decades? Did someone do a moneyball on basketball?

If TOR clinch I'll come in here and eat crow. I never said that "TOR sucks", but there were some dark years. It was so disheartening when players like Alonzo Mourning refused to dress for the team. There was an attitude that players didn't want to play in Canada. It also was reinforced by the type of drafting they did: Araujo, Bargnani, Valenciuanas, etc. These picks always seemed backwards or induced major head scratching.
Anyway great. I'm so glad they keep proving me wrong.
How good is this run for exposing the rest of the NBA to what Toronto is and possibly changing the reputation of this city as a place for stars to come to ?
I’ve heard that both Stoudamire and McGrady really regret their decision to leave
