Raps aren't even that popular outside Toronto.

>>75734613
We need the Vancouver Grizzlies back

>>75734613

Comic relief

They're popular when the playoffs come around. Then they run into an actual good team and get fucked.

>A fucking dinosaur

Just to keep the canadian media market open

Does New York need another team?

Because they sell a lot of tickets
Becasue they're Canada's only team
Because they have a good stadium

I never undestood why people ask these questions.

Not really. It was great last season because there was no Canadian team in Stanley Playoff. They got great crowds cheering outside the stadium during games.

Leafs are in the playoff this season and the amount of Raptors fans gathering outside the stadium visibly dropped.

I meant outside of Toronto.

I'm in Montreal and a lot of coworkers/friends/family talk about the Raptors during the first round of the playoffs and then they forget about them.

because it's a way for people in Canada to watch pro basketball without leaving the country

would a lot of basketball teams work in Canada?

No, but it can definitely support one just through the uniqueness of it.

>Big City
>Lots of money

Gee really makes you think

They don't. All they die like millions the years ago.
