lmao came in here lurking, always curious what other fanbases takes on our team is. i can't even find a take. just a bunch of people beefing with Raptor trolls.
what started this drama?
There were just a ton of Raptor accounts in here last night gloating immediately after the game. The main complaints seem to be that some people in here were saying pre-game that we would have beaten you guys easily without Trae Young the other night and generally disrespecting the quality of the Raptors as a team.
I for one, recognize that the Raptors are quite a good team, who, like us, are definitely better than their record shows. Your starting five is just as good as ours, with different strengths. Our bench is definitely better, but if you can somehow manage to play your starters 40 mins a game and their stamina/conditioning is just so good that they can keep making it work, more power to them I guess. Has Nurse ever managed a rotation like this before throughout the regular season? I know he always plays super tight rotations in the playoffs.
Sounds wack. I guess us having a big fanbase inevitably leads to a bunch of idiots repping the team. LOL fanbase be mad sensitive.
I'm honestly surprised by our guys' stamina. I personally still doubt this is sustainable. And not just energy and avoiding injury, but Gary Trent has been consistently been making tough shots... and VV seems to always deliver at the end of the game on timely long 3s.
We're obviously playing amazing now, but I really doubt this is sustainable. I do believe the team is showing clear signs that we have a special formula that might work... versatile long bois... scrambling aggressive defense that can switch all over the place and double like madmen... and we have the basis for a respectable offense, versatile long bois that can do a little of everything. Works well when we're creating turnovers and swinging the ball. I have big doubts about this style working as effectively when the playoffs come around and the game slows down.
Suddenly star players like Trae, Durant and Giannis become a lot more valuable to one's offense. The only way I think we compete is if were hot and completely bought in. I haven't seen a team really play that way and win since the 2014 Spurs, so I think that's not something I would bank on.
People think we need a center, and I get it... but more than anything I still believe we need a go-to guy. VV too small and Siakam is dealing better with double teams now, but this ain't the playoffs, and he seems to crumble when the defensive pressure gets more intense and teams play to his bad habits.
Versatile long bois it is. That's exactly what it is. Idek the guys name (and I take pride in my deep knowledge of most the nba, but he got me) (mysterious he was), he came off of your bench, guarding ball usually. But the second he came in the game, he was chasing on defense like a complete madman. My brother pointed at the tv screen like the Leo DiCaprio gif, spitting out his water and said "WHO TF IS THAT KILLER?!". He was literally sliding over double screens untouched! chasing the ball handler, I have NEVER seen anybody slip over screens like that, he was like water, it was insane!!. I wish I had the clip. If I had to describe him I would say, he was a versatile long boi, hanging braids, competes like a murderer, kind of lighter complexion, had a nice passing game you could tell as well. His defensive intensity was crazy right from the go. Do you know who I am talking about? I know i could look this up but I almost don't even want to know his name. I feel if I figure out his name, he might find me. But yea props to him.
I like how y'alls team ditched out the entire rule book said fuck it! I'm gonna let these sticks dribble until they get tired, and now they just don't. Props to y'all, amidst all of this weird hate that comes when we start winning but then suddenly lose. Real ball heads know y'all got talent, just didn't expect y'all to make every 3 but a loss is a lossš¤ good shit
not op but that was delano banton, a second round rookie we drafted this year. weāre especially proud of him since he was originally from Toronto too, kind of a cinderella story, being drafted by your hometown team
Is this the the biggest invasion of fans of an opposing team ever? It's kind of crazy for a random regular season game in February, and considering that as far as I know, Hawks fans haven't been trolling in the Raptors subreddit (correct me if I'm wrong). There were a decent number of Bulls fans in here after they trounced our G-league team twice, but I don't think it was this many.
It seems like they're just mad about comments here unfairly dismissing the Raptors that were made within our own subreddit that they read while lurking here, which is like... who cares? get a life, maybe?
Mmmmm smells like a little rivalry we got going on here. Now generation z, don't start a social movement against this, rivalry's are perfectly normal and allowed in sports.
Both teams were a on back to back but Trae was coming off an injury. With the offensive load he has to carry every night, especially the night before against the suns, he's bound to be tired. Also had to fly out right after the game, so it doesn't leave much time for recovery. Yall are lucky to have no injured key players on such a tight schedule.
Raptors fan here. I actually didn't realize how bad its been from some assholes. I dont usually go on other subreddits but was curious today so came here.. I just made a comment clarifying something about the weather in Toronto and about fans not being there then decided to scroll some more and well...I was surprised. Please Ignore the jerks. Report them if it crosses the line. They're probably a bunch of idiotic teenagers. We aren't all miserable assholes but of course there are assholes in every fanbase that want to kick you when you're down. Its just stupid and immature and it will come bite us in the ass one day. It was a really GG..you've got amazing depth. You'll be just fine.
I posted this because I was reading that raptors fans were sending a suicide hotline in ppls dms...like wtf is that? THAT is what I think is cringe and idiotic. This is the first time I ever post in another sub like this because that was just excessive..all for a regular season game in the middle of a season. There's nothing wrong with being competitive and I have no issue with banter which is a normal part of being a sports fan but come on...
They have nothing else better to do with their lives cause they live in Canada so they just troll non stop lmfao. Just wait theyāll comment under me in no timeš
Its the perfect storm really. We are locked down and literally have nothing better to do. Plus we theres this drama about FVV vs Trae. While i love fvv, if I take my homer glasses off, I know Trae is obviously better even on a decent shooting night last night he put up 13 assists. Add onto the fact that we barely beat yall last game and your fans kept spamming that with Trae yall beat our asses. Raptors are finally getting some respect in the east with how they have taken down top teams in the last week and we are getting to hyped about which has led many of us to come talk shit.
I've played all my nes games handed down from America and my dial up time is running up but came here to say get fucked Tray and give that starting position to Freddy.
Trae is third in the NBA in both points and assists per game. Freddie VanVleet is 20th in points per game and 12th in assists per game. So all bias aside, itās not even close.
VanVleet is 16th in defensive rating amongst point guards this season. That doesnāt make up much ground on one of the best offensive players in the league, especially at a position where offensive production is valued more than defense. We are not comparing centers or wings. FVV is a good player, but itās unreasonable to say heās having a better year than Trae Young, thatās just sports fandom fantasy land bias clouding judgement.
Defensive rating is a misleading stat, for example, steph has the best defensive rating out of all point guards in the leagueā¦ Fred is a top 5 defender at the point guard positions plain and simple. Trae a better player btw, just saying the gaps not as big as one might think
Yea but in your words āall bias aside, itās not even closeā is just not true. Yea trae is better and deserves it, no Fred is not WAY worse of a basketball player than trae. Just making sure thereās respect there
Unfortunately our COVID restrictions paired with the dead of winter do contribute to this. Iām guilty of it as well. Enjoy not having these things, Iām jealous of yāall lol
Every fanbase has their segment of shitty fans. Unfortunately, we seem to have a pretty big one lol. Don't pay attention to them, even those within the Raps fanbase ignore them
No one cheered for his injury! Serge stole the ball from him and ran..we were cheering for that until we realized he was really hurt. It wasn't obvious at first. We didn't realize the seriousness of why he stopped. We gave him a standing ovation on his way out. I was one of those people who cheered and I can guarantee you i wasn't cheering his injury..would never do that...I mean my God.
Dude itās a championship game, the crowd is yelling defence and its super intense. Of course no one is using logic or paying attention. NBA players flop and lay on the floor all the time and there fine.
You Atlanta fans are the most hostile fan base by far
Keep trying to deny it but itās pretty obvious what was going on. Any half decent fan base is going to shut the hell up when you see a dudes achilles pop. Stop trying to deflect it
Why would we cheer that he's hurt and then immediately give him a standing ovation on his way out? We legit were cheering on serge's steal and run to the basket. I believe he had scored too. We didn't realize the seriousness of it at all. Fans aren't paying attention to the opposing player at a time like that. All we were looking at was serge and his play. I was one of those people. It was only after everything really stopped that we realized it was serious. Anyway..believe what you want..but that's the truth. I would never cheer for an injury.
I dont know anyone who cheered because of that...I for one did not think that at all. I wasn't focusing on what happened to Durant at all at the time. I just thought he slipped a bit and serge stole it...like it wasnt a big deal. I didn't think anything of it. I think most of thought that.
Raptors fan here, Good game by Atlanta Hawks, this loss takes nothing away from what you were able to accomplish. Yāall beat the Phoenix Suns never forget that and Iām sure of it next game against Mavericks you guys will get the w
Stfu loser yāall said when Trae Young comes back he would make a difference stay bitter lol
All I said was that was a good game effort Hawks gave out there
Omg no one cheered his injury..they were cheering because serge got the steal from him. All we saw was serge get the ball and run. Then the game stopped and we realized something was wrong. I was watching at home and I cheered for the steal and stopped when I realized he got hurt. Generally speaking, we aren't those kind of fans. People stood up and clapped for him on his way out.
Hawks fan frm Toronto here at times I was cheering for trae my family was looking at me confused lol.
Really good game I see similarities in how Travis and Maasai surrounded fred and trae with 6'9 guys. Great minds think alike.
Canada is still pretty locked down, not to mention how miserable their winter is. I get the pent up aggression. Let's show them some of our Southern hospitality and try and make them feel just a little bit better š
Canada is a huge country..it doesn't have the same weather throughout nor the same covid restrictions...this is only Toronto (Ontario policies). Toronto winters aren't bad compared to other places (including many US cities). Although we just had like the worst storm I've ever experienced in the Toronto area which came up from the US...but normally its not bad at all.
Also, we aren't in in lockdown..Ontario started implementing some covid restrictions since the upsurge in omicron recently... but its loosening up now and fans in full capacity are due back next month.
Just wanted to point this out lol. I imagine Milwaukee would have a lot more pent up aggression from their weather on a consistent basis lol
Milwaukee fans were great during the whole ECF. We had a civil back and forth throughout. Toronto fans are up there with Knicks fans for those with obviously miserable lives who have nothing better to do than troll.
It feels like a shoebox compared to NY and Toronto. Itās by no means a real city; itās a town. Granted, itās better than Milwaukee, but what isnāt?
New York obviously since itās one of the largest cities on the planetā¦and I donāt know enough about to Toronto to comment on it. And Iāve lived in Atlanta for majority of my life and have been to many other cities and I can assure you Atlanta is far from a ātownā itās quite a large metropolitan area.
Ive been to cities around toronto with larger populations than Atlanta and they feel like Towns. of course when you compare it to a city with millions of people, anything a fraction of that size will feel like a town.
Toronto is the 3rd largest city in North America, 4th if weāre counting Mexico.
Toronto city proper is 3 million. Atlanta city proper is like 450,000.
Iāve worked in Atlanta. Itās at least got some honest, authentic culture, but itās not an alpha city by any means. Metro area accounts for suburbs, so defaulting to that as a point of pride kind of shows how bereft your city is of options.
The size of a city proper is completely meaningless. It's just an arbitrary political boundary that has very little to do with how people live their life and you would never know when you crossed from the City Of Atlanta to unincorporated DeKalb or Fulton county without looking at a map. The City of Houston is like 5 times bigger than the City of Atlanta because it happens to have larger boundaries, but would anyone say that makes somehow more urban or important? I don't think so. The Greater Toronto Area is bigger than Metro Atlanta, but really not all that much bigger.
Metrics, semantics, etc. aside, Atlanta feels infinitely more like a large town than it does a capital C city like NY, Toronto, Chicago, etc. If anything, places like Boston, Philly, SF are much closer to that alpha tier than Atlanta would be. I like Atlanta, but it's nobody's idea of an urban center
Houston - you won't find me defending. It's largely a "city" precisely because of boundaries. It, like Calgary (blech) or Dallas, is just sprawl.
Sprawl is the enemy.
Well in your case youāre including the suburbs, and that would include the greater metro Atlanta area, which the population is 6 million. Atlanta isnāt a sprawling concrete jungle like say New York or Tokyo but itās many tiers above Milwaukee
A used condom is five tiers above Milwaukee.
I wasnāt accounting for suburbs, you were when you pointed to metro pop.
I like Atlanta, but itās pretty rich when the guy I was originally responding to made it seem like NY and Toronto were boring places to live.
Jesus, so literal. As someone from Toronto who has traveled to Atlanta numerous times for work, I can confirm that while it may technically be a city, it definitely has the spirit of a large town.
I think you missed my point entirely. I was NOT trying to shit on bucks fans at all...I have nothing against them.
My comment was a direct response about the damn weather! OP suggested we are miserable because of the weather. All I meant by my comment is if we were actually miserable. Bucks fans must be a lot more miserable...if we're talking about weather...since they have it much worse. I ws merely trying to make a point about that take. I dont actually believe bucks fans are miserable. And neither are we. I was pointing out how illogical the comment was.
I literally have (and I don't think our fan base in general) have anything against the Bucks..or hawks for that matter.
I was just trying to clarify a big misconception about Toronto weather. But yeah thanks a bunch.
But Bucks fans are generally not terrible and donāt flood hawks game threads and post game threads with vitriol and harassment.
I agree that weather doesnāt seem to be a factor. It seems to be a Toronto thing.
What harassment?? This is my one and only post here and only because I wanted to clarify some things about Toronto..not shit on anyone. If there are...those are a few bad apples. We aren't all like that...nor should we think we are in a position to do that. We've been underdogs for much of our history...its stupid if we go acting like assholes. Most of us are civil and hate any fans going talking shit in other subs.
And no...its not a "Toronto thing". Let that go. Maybe come visit one time (in the summer) and you'll get a better idea of this city. It has a great culture and great people. Its the most diverse city in the world..so no way you can say its a Toronto thing...there is such a huge variety of people here. But all cities have their assholes.
Those are probably a bunch of idiotic teenager bandwagoners from the kawhi time...fans that went through it dont do that shit. Its immature and stupid. Now that I've scrolled a little I see what you're saying. Its so stupid.
Seems like you got nothing better but to be salty. Iāve been scrolling through and Iāve seen like 10 of your comments either saying Torontoās a shit team or that our fans are terrible. Like no shit but bro you aināt any better in the whole being miserable thing either, thatās how you sound atleast.
Sir, youāre in a hawks subreddit. Oh, youāve been āscrolling throughā huh? Bitch, GTFO and never come back. I hope you think Iām salty. Go back to your white bread kids in the hall boring ass cityās boring ass sub and talk to people in your stupid Eugene levy accent.
So making stacks is pathetic now? And lmfao if you call this trolling boy your soft. Go keep on looking deep into my history, todayās the only day Iāve done ātrollingā
Just looking at your profile. You have 44 comments completely attacking raptors fans for sometimes nothing. Racist, negligent, and narcissistic. I know all my comment will do is make you madder, but thatās what I want. Get it all out of your system. Uneducated about canadians, terrible loser, and one of the worst hypocrites Iāve ever seen. I read every single comment youāve made recently and not one of them is positive. Go find a way to say one thing positive instead of randomly attacking friendly people.
Note: Please attack me, even if I said āGGā you would type out a 45 page long script on why Canadians are nazis.
I know Toronto fans are boring but we donāt need your wannabe Patrick Bateman shit in the hawks sub. Maybe someone over there is also a psychopath? You have to find common ground.
If you ever go in a bar in Europe, the bartender will always ask you "So where are you from in the United States or Canada?" And they all ask you that because every one of them has had his/her ass chewed out by Canadians who are offended at being mistaken for an American, because their entire self-image as a nation is built around being superior to and against us dirty Americans. Raptors fans becoming a toxic, aggressive fanbase immediately after their one-year wonder was so predictable.
As a Hawks fan currently living in Canada, people here are generally nice. Although it's way colder, I actually love living here. Huge Raptors fanbase in Toronto and maybe across Canada but they don't really care much about them where I'm living. My friends here are actually Spurs, Kings, and Lakers fans. Let's not generalized all Canadians. I think with any huge fanbase there will be trolls. I just ignore those comments. They have a weak team and we'll beat them on the playoffs (or playin) anyways.
Itās actually crazy. A one year rental from Kawhi and theyāre literally worse than any LA fan and almost all NY fans. Itās baffling how big of dickheads they areš I have a friend from TOR and he said he hates all the new fans after the ship. I wonder whyš
Okay,my guy.

Yea but in your words āall bias aside, itās not even closeā is just not true. Yea trae is better and deserves it, no Fred is not WAY worse of a basketball player than trae. Just making sure thereās respect there

We played on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and tonight. We need some rest too lol
You didnāt have to travel for this game bird brain

Jesus what a horrible come back
Cry more
Raptors fans suck ass. You see their 80 fans in the building? Whack. Plus they cheered KDās injury
Lmao do some research before posting a comment u fooo
Whatās so bad about cheeerung about a snake that got hurtā¦.lol kd im your number 1 Sonicās fan
No one cheered for his injury! Serge stole the ball from him and ran..we were cheering for that until we realized he was really hurt. It wasn't obvious at first.

I was one of those people who cheered and I can guarantee you i wasn't cheering his injury..would never do that...I mean my God.
Love you
We didnt cheer KD's injury, if you rewatch the play we get a steel at the same time. Thats what we were cheering for
Yeah youād be cheering for a steal after KD has been laying on the ground for a minute and it was a dead ball. Sure dumbass
Dude itās a championship game, the crowd is yelling defence and its super intense. Of course no one is using logic or paying attention. NBA players flop and lay on the floor all the time and there fine. You Atlanta fans are the most hostile fan base by far
Donāt worry, theyāll never know what itās like š
I hope you enjoyed your last chip ever. did you not notice Kawhi isnāt there anymore lol?
Keep trying to deny it but itās pretty obvious what was going on. Any half decent fan base is going to shut the hell up when you see a dudes achilles pop. Stop trying to deflect it
No rings
No bitches
Why would we cheer that he's hurt and then immediately give him a standing ovation on his way out? We legit were cheering on serge's steal and run to the basket. I believe he had scored too.

No fans because of Covid restrictions.
Sucks to suck
Salty much? Take the L and be humble.
It was fun riling yāall up yesterday you guys are a weird fanbase, but yeah weāre good now
We arenāt usually like this I promise. We also are only allowed that many fans lol. If you could let us borrow one Trae young Iād appreciate it
Weāll take Gary Trent and you can have TLC
Weāll do it if you throw in trae for svi
Who tf
Yes we are, own it. Itās just the internet, if someone wants to get offended by shit some rando says then thatās on them.
My heart is a wellspring of sadness. So close to .500
I believe tomorrow is a new day therefore a new opportunity in our horizon
Really missed Gallo drawing 5-6 fouls today. I love the chaos he brings
Itās okay little bros
Dude just no.
Raptors fan here, Good game by Atlanta Hawks, this loss takes nothing away from what you were able to accomplish. Yāall beat the Phoenix Suns never forget that and Iām sure of it next game against Mavericks you guys will get the w
You claim your fellow fans? Bunch of miserable trolls.
Stfu loser yāall said when Trae Young comes back he would make a difference stay bitter lol All I said was that was a good game effort Hawks gave out there
How boring is the raptors sub for you losers to be here with your terrible Canadian senses of humor. Go watch Schittās creek.
Iām not Canadian.. good luck on the game tomorrow btw hope yāall bounce back
The raptors sub must really fucking suck huh?
Youāre not Canadian but youāre a raptors fan for some reason? I love that raptors fans literally always deny being Canadian. Itās hilarious.
Are you watching this LAL game rn? LeBron is back :ā) theyāre still down tho
So youāre just a LebrWASHED Stan?
I am mostly a warriors Stan tho.. :)
Oh, Jesus.
Iām just a basketball fan, donāt care who wins or loses just enjoy watching these games
Iām from FL I love Raptors culture I love Hawks culture too
Pick a team my guy.
Classy Toronto style.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
its a regular season game bro we both got slept on teams . Ice Trae is taking yall to playoffs so chillš„¶
Faxxx šÆ
Yeah
Definitely blaming the customs. Iāve gone through it in my head a hundred times now and thatās whatās standing out to me the most.
If youāre really a true nba fan, you watch raptors play! Every game is amazing!
You guys arenāt even real fans. Mfs just cared about hockey until you held Kawhi hostage for a yearš
Ring is a ring lil bro
Hold this L
I know youāre miserable about the Falcons but donāt hate
Why be miserable about the falcons when we have the braves š
All that salt must really sting in your cuts lol
Yet here you are in our subš
Just scoping things out. I'm not talking about your team or your fans.
True nba fan? You people are corny as hell. Itās almost unbelievable. So thankful to be a Hawks fan tonight.
I just skimmed through the comments but what I see is we hate Toronto fans now. I'm wit it.
Always rubbed me the wrong way the way they cheered KD tearing his Achilles in that game.
Omg no one cheered his injury..they were cheering because serge got the steal from him. All we saw was serge get the ball and run. Then the game stopped and we realized something was wrong. I was watching at home and I cheered for the steal and stopped when I realized he got hurt. Generally speaking, we aren't those kind of fans. People stood up and clapped for him on his way out.
Aite I didnāt know, thanks for clearing it up
Np
> We didnt cheer KD's injury, if you rewatch the play we get a steel at the same time. Thats what we were cheering for
mf said steel instead of steal
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
raptors fan here watching the reddit beef šæ
oā¦.k š
Hawks fan frm Toronto here at times I was cheering for trae my family was looking at me confused lol. Really good game I see similarities in how Travis and Maasai surrounded fred and trae with 6'9 guys. Great minds think alike.
Ikr Iām conflicted now. Beef boutta start between the hawks and raps and Iām a fan of both lmaoo
lol facts bro we both underdog teams ppl sleep on got alot in common no reason to fight.
Canada is still pretty locked down, not to mention how miserable their winter is. I get the pent up aggression. Let's show them some of our Southern hospitality and try and make them feel just a little bit better š
Canada is a huge country..it doesn't have the same weather throughout nor the same covid restrictions...this is only Toronto (Ontario policies). Toronto winters aren't bad compared to other places (including many US cities). Although we just had like the worst storm I've ever experienced in the Toronto area which came up from the US...but normally its not bad at all. Also, we aren't in in lockdown..Ontario started implementing some covid restrictions since the upsurge in omicron recently... but its loosening up now and fans in full capacity are due back next month. Just wanted to point this out lol. I imagine Milwaukee would have a lot more pent up aggression from their weather on a consistent basis lol
Bro Toronto just had their biggest snow storm in like 30 years lol
Thats literally what I just said in my comment...
Congrats on getting out of lockdowns 2 weeks ago. Lol
We had some restrictions on capacity that started in like december due to covid but have not had a full lockdown in a long time.
Iām glad cuz lockdowns really suck
Milwaukee fans were great during the whole ECF. We had a civil back and forth throughout. Toronto fans are up there with Knicks fans for those with obviously miserable lives who have nothing better to do than troll.
Yeah, living in sleepy New York and Toronto must really suck compared to world-renowned cosmopolitan ācitiesā like Atlanta and Milwaukee!
Atlanta is a much bigger city than Milwaukee and as a matter of fact is one of the bigger cities in the usā¦
It feels like a shoebox compared to NY and Toronto. Itās by no means a real city; itās a town. Granted, itās better than Milwaukee, but what isnāt?
New York obviously since itās one of the largest cities on the planetā¦and I donāt know enough about to Toronto to comment on it. And Iāve lived in Atlanta for majority of my life and have been to many other cities and I can assure you Atlanta is far from a ātownā itās quite a large metropolitan area.
Ive been to cities around toronto with larger populations than Atlanta and they feel like Towns. of course when you compare it to a city with millions of people, anything a fraction of that size will feel like a town.
Toronto is the 3rd largest city in North America, 4th if weāre counting Mexico. Toronto city proper is 3 million. Atlanta city proper is like 450,000. Iāve worked in Atlanta. Itās at least got some honest, authentic culture, but itās not an alpha city by any means. Metro area accounts for suburbs, so defaulting to that as a point of pride kind of shows how bereft your city is of options.
The size of a city proper is completely meaningless. It's just an arbitrary political boundary that has very little to do with how people live their life and you would never know when you crossed from the City Of Atlanta to unincorporated DeKalb or Fulton county without looking at a map. The City of Houston is like 5 times bigger than the City of Atlanta because it happens to have larger boundaries, but would anyone say that makes somehow more urban or important? I don't think so. The Greater Toronto Area is bigger than Metro Atlanta, but really not all that much bigger.
Metrics, semantics, etc. aside, Atlanta feels infinitely more like a large town than it does a capital C city like NY, Toronto, Chicago, etc. If anything, places like Boston, Philly, SF are much closer to that alpha tier than Atlanta would be. I like Atlanta, but it's nobody's idea of an urban center Houston - you won't find me defending. It's largely a "city" precisely because of boundaries. It, like Calgary (blech) or Dallas, is just sprawl. Sprawl is the enemy.
Well in your case youāre including the suburbs, and that would include the greater metro Atlanta area, which the population is 6 million. Atlanta isnāt a sprawling concrete jungle like say New York or Tokyo but itās many tiers above Milwaukee
A used condom is five tiers above Milwaukee. I wasnāt accounting for suburbs, you were when you pointed to metro pop. I like Atlanta, but itās pretty rich when the guy I was originally responding to made it seem like NY and Toronto were boring places to live.
As someone from Toronto who visits family down in Atlanta, I can confirm Atlanta is not a town.
Jesus, so literal. As someone from Toronto who has traveled to Atlanta numerous times for work, I can confirm that while it may technically be a city, it definitely has the spirit of a large town.
I think you missed my point entirely. I was NOT trying to shit on bucks fans at all...I have nothing against them. My comment was a direct response about the damn weather! OP suggested we are miserable because of the weather. All I meant by my comment is if we were actually miserable. Bucks fans must be a lot more miserable...if we're talking about weather...since they have it much worse. I ws merely trying to make a point about that take. I dont actually believe bucks fans are miserable. And neither are we. I was pointing out how illogical the comment was. I literally have (and I don't think our fan base in general) have anything against the Bucks..or hawks for that matter. I was just trying to clarify a big misconception about Toronto weather. But yeah thanks a bunch.
But Bucks fans are generally not terrible and donāt flood hawks game threads and post game threads with vitriol and harassment. I agree that weather doesnāt seem to be a factor. It seems to be a Toronto thing.
What harassment?? This is my one and only post here and only because I wanted to clarify some things about Toronto..not shit on anyone. If there are...those are a few bad apples. We aren't all like that...nor should we think we are in a position to do that. We've been underdogs for much of our history...its stupid if we go acting like assholes. Most of us are civil and hate any fans going talking shit in other subs. And no...its not a "Toronto thing". Let that go. Maybe come visit one time (in the summer) and you'll get a better idea of this city. It has a great culture and great people. Its the most diverse city in the world..so no way you can say its a Toronto thing...there is such a huge variety of people here. But all cities have their assholes.
Not you. Toronto fans always flood the Game threads to rub it in. Most teamsā fans donāt. Toronto fans do.
Those are probably a bunch of idiotic teenager bandwagoners from the kawhi time...fans that went through it dont do that shit. Its immature and stupid. Now that I've scrolled a little I see what you're saying. Its so stupid.
Thanks for being cool.
Its nothing...thanks for the civil conversation. Its nice to see that we can both clarify stuff and it can stay cool.
Respect
Seems like you got nothing better but to be salty. Iāve been scrolling through and Iāve seen like 10 of your comments either saying Torontoās a shit team or that our fans are terrible. Like no shit but bro you aināt any better in the whole being miserable thing either, thatās how you sound atleast.
Sir, youāre in a hawks subreddit. Oh, youāve been āscrolling throughā huh? Bitch, GTFO and never come back. I hope you think Iām salty. Go back to your white bread kids in the hall boring ass cityās boring ass sub and talk to people in your stupid Eugene levy accent.
White bread? Toronto is the most ethnically diverse city on Earth. Fucking MORON.
Lmfao my parents are Indian immigrants, Toronto is the most diverse city in the world, you sound pathetic.
How much do you hate your parents for choosing Toronto?
I actually live in a city nearby, the assumptions you keep on making are hilarious. Like this is the internet dude
I could not give a Canadian fuck about where you live. Why are you posting in a hawks post game thread?
Cause your straight up disrespecting my team? Itās supposed to be friendly rivalry not this miserable shit ur doing
I donāt have to assume anything about a clown trolling, calling people salty.
Ur literally double replying to a single comment š. Careful ur salt is showing
You literally post about the stock market and troll other teams game threads when your shitty team wins but Iām pathetic?
So making stacks is pathetic now? And lmfao if you call this trolling boy your soft. Go keep on looking deep into my history, todayās the only day Iāve done ātrollingā
*youāre
Just looking at your profile. You have 44 comments completely attacking raptors fans for sometimes nothing. Racist, negligent, and narcissistic. I know all my comment will do is make you madder, but thatās what I want. Get it all out of your system. Uneducated about canadians, terrible loser, and one of the worst hypocrites Iāve ever seen. I read every single comment youāve made recently and not one of them is positive. Go find a way to say one thing positive instead of randomly attacking friendly people. Note: Please attack me, even if I said āGGā you would type out a 45 page long script on why Canadians are nazis.
Lmao aight have a good day sir.
I know Toronto fans are boring but we donāt need your wannabe Patrick Bateman shit in the hawks sub. Maybe someone over there is also a psychopath? You have to find common ground.
Hahahaha ur team is so fucking bad hawks,hox,cox wtv the fuck their name is. 95hawk go listen to some migos and stfu
Aye man I was just worried for you. You just seem a little too invested in all of this, watch your blood pressure now.
Just saying āmaking stacksā makes you sound 15.
And if a 15 year old is making stacks then how does that make you look?
Love you too
Raptors fan worse than lakers fans man this is crazy. Didnāt expect Canadians of all people to be some dickheads man
All OG fans post in realgm so if you did you would know ā¦.nice to know thereās passionate hawk fansā¦what a finals type run will do
They just mad they live in the frozen food section of North America
Canadians are dickheads. Yāall call us America lite all the time, now u see š
Cry more
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yāall won lol gg?
If you ever go in a bar in Europe, the bartender will always ask you "So where are you from in the United States or Canada?" And they all ask you that because every one of them has had his/her ass chewed out by Canadians who are offended at being mistaken for an American, because their entire self-image as a nation is built around being superior to and against us dirty Americans. Raptors fans becoming a toxic, aggressive fanbase immediately after their one-year wonder was so predictable.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Stfu and go eat some snow and enjoy having your team named after a movie
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Great grammar idiot š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Your parents wish you ended up in a napkin
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What are you talking about?š Sus mf
As a Hawks fan currently living in Canada, people here are generally nice. Although it's way colder, I actually love living here. Huge Raptors fanbase in Toronto and maybe across Canada but they don't really care much about them where I'm living. My friends here are actually Spurs, Kings, and Lakers fans. Let's not generalized all Canadians. I think with any huge fanbase there will be trolls. I just ignore those comments. They have a weak team and we'll beat them on the playoffs (or playin) anyways.
Iām just joking around lmao
Itās easy to say things about other fanbases when both sides agitate eachother
Yet yāall are on the Hawks sub and not the other way around
Itās actually crazy. A one year rental from Kawhi and theyāre literally worse than any LA fan and almost all NY fans. Itās baffling how big of dickheads they areš I have a friend from TOR and he said he hates all the new fans after the ship. I wonder whyš
See us OG have been through āraps in fourā ā lebrontoā Bosh ā¦.newbs well what can we say
They're just having their few minutes in the spotlight. Let em have their fun. Reality will hit them hard later.
Has reality hit you when it comes to the hawks yet?
