There's been a lot of bashing of the Raptors franchise, most recently from ESPN's Power Rankings. However, one thing no one can deny is that Toronto still loves its Raptors according to this article: http://www.hoopsworld.com/article_14383.shtml

Yeah, I was pretty impressed and surprised when I read that. I'm not sure though, did MLSE make some sort of package deal where they entice with Leafs tickets if you buy Raptors tickets, or something to that effect? If so, that could be why the sales are as high as they are.

Raptors is Canada's team after Grizz left for Memphis. Plus there are lots of ball lovers in Tor (i'm sure there are tons of you outside of GTA too) and our culture is so diverse it draws in a lot of different groups.
Remember watching Kings games and Serbian's would proudly wave their flag, Hou games are filled with black hair & spectacled folks, then Manu has Argentinian's and Mr. Longoria has some French folks cheering him on.
Got some tickets this year so I'm looking fwd to seeing the Human Typo (Dwyane Wade), Answer, and Melo... interesting to see how CV3 gels with CB4. And Graham... this guy looks like a monster!

Seriously I mistype his name often too.
I hope CV3 plays center rather than Bosh, cause I have him fantasy drafts and him playing C too much would hurt his numbers. I think they should tank the season if they aren't going to make the playoffs and hope to get greg oden
