We the north

Sort of loving this - Toronto is now up 3 games to 1. I'm not a big sports guy but the only sport I heavily ever played was basketball (at one time 8 hours a day) and the only metropolis I ever lived in (after I stopped playing basketball) was Toronto.

Was beautiful seeing over 2000 people watching outside live broadcast put on by the city of Guelph. It's no wonder they have parachuted themselves to the largest sports franchise in all of Canada in weeks. The energy was electric of the crowd and that was during the time where the Raptors were losing tonight.

And while I know who I am rooting for - but more the beautiful reminder of a communal sense of team can create together.

@SW-User You mean Game 5... It's now Raptors 3-1

@SW-User yeah that's what I meant. I changed it.

@SW-User Now I only wish Toronto wins in Toronto ;-)

SW-User

@SW-User sorry but I hope they lose

SW-User

@SW-User If they lose they lose.. I'm rooting for the community spirit that has been created and why I hope they win in Toronto having once lived there. ;-)

@SW-User I used to live in San Francisco so I've been a Warriors fan for a long time

SW-User

@SW-User Yeah and by time I moved to Toronto had a team I didn't follow sports really anymore. Just have a very soft spot for basketball and Toronto :) And I can see what it is engaging in community here.

SW-User

@SW-User I still can't figure out why a team from Canada is in the NBA

SW-User

@SW-User There was once two ;) America decided to expand into Canada - maybe a natural extension, same continent, and after all while basketball was invented in the States it was created by a Canadian doctor in the states.
