Yeah - I keep thinking you lived/moving back to the Vancouver area. Toronto is an amazing city, absolutely love it up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still behind as it stands, but Golden State haven't been as good this second half as they were in the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Kawhi playing like playoff Lebron. He's done nothing today until the 4th quarter, where he's going to win the whole thing for Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Arghhh frustrating end. Terrible between the 3rd to 1st minute, and what could have been the fairy tale ending for Toronto, now goes to game 6. I'm really concerned about the bottle job now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade was clutch for Miami but it was always lebron who was the best player throughout the playoffs. Toronto came up short. This was their chance, now the warriors have the momentum and I believe they will complete the comeback. 2 more games to go. I was more talking about Lebron's clutch moments. The "he did nothing all game" was more aimed at Kawhi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,172 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I hope the Warriors call pull off a comeback here. It'll be harder now that it's confirmed Durant won't be back for the next two (well two, if the Warriors win) games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the star behind this win of course though. I'm happy one of the Raptors from the 2014 playoffs survived though. Kyle Lowry is a legend. DeMar, Patterson, Ross, and Valanciunas have all gone so it's good that one stayed, and my favourite one too.

He is the face of the franchise and if he stays, he will be know as the best player of all time for Toronto I hope you're right, but I think he wanted to leave.

Guest Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 One thing that is annoying me, as happy as I am, is that people are calling this "Toronto's first MAJOR title in 26 years". I guess Toronto FC or the Argos don't count then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFL is huge out west, if we were out there this would count. The only counter argument against it is that it's based in a Canadian league and not American. I agree on the MLS, but it does get annoying how people are ignoring them just because it's not one of the big sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's TSN, then I understand the gripe, if it's ESPN, then it's because the CFL isn't popular at ALL here. Even worse really if it's ESPN as they have the MLS rights, but when the Blues won the Stanley Cup and the had a montage of all this past years champions (Patriots, Clemson, Virginia, Red Sox, Golden State, and then nothing). No Atlanta United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Atlanta United. TSN said it if I remember correctly, but people on Twitter are also saying this, probably due to what TV said. CFL has no reason to be popular there, it's not even popular in Ontario but it is in the praerie and western provinces of Canada, so Argos should theoritically count here, but it doesn't, nor does TFC because it's not popular.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted October 7, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted October 7, 2019 I'm not really a Basketball fan but what the fuck is this...a 7ft 5 inc Basketball player!! bloody hell the height of the loop is 10 feet from the ground, all he has to do is stand there and put the ball in the hoop with his hand. The top of the hoop is 10 feet (305 cm) above the ground. Tacko Fall: Boston Celtics centre hoping to become tallest active NBA player bids for success in a debut season Tacko Fall only stepped on to a basketball court seven years ago - but the imposing 7ft 5in Senegalese is now hoping to become the tallest active player in the NBA. Two and a half inches shorter than retired Romanian player Gheorghe Mureșan - the NBA's tallest ever player - 23-year-old Fall is battling to make the Boston Celtics' 15-man roster for the upcoming season after signing for the franchise in the summer. The Celtics decided to move for Fall after he recorded the highest marks ever for wingspan (8ft 2.25in), standing reach (10ft 2.5in) and height with shoes (7ft 7in) at the NBA Draft Combine earlier this year. Born in Dakar in 1995, Fall moved to the United States aged 16 - when he already stood at 7ft tall - and went on to play college basketball for the University of Central Florida. His final game for the UCF Knights game against the Duke Blue Devils in an NCAA Tournament second-round clash, where he held his own against Zion Williamson, the New Orleans Pelicans star who was first picked in the 2019 NBA Draft. "It's a dream come true. I started basketball when I was 16, a bit late," the centre told BBC Sport Africa's Babacar Diarra. "When I went to the US, I had many opportunities there. Many people helped me continue developing especially at the University of Central Florida." FULL REPORT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 I love Tacko. He was so impossible to guard when he was in College. If @Teso dos Bichos watching NCAA Alabama, we played them and damn near couldn't get the ball over his reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teso dos Bichos 1,019 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Didnt watch the game as I prefer the radio broadcast when it comes to alabama basketball. Tacko is a beast and although D. Hall had a good game, Tacko was the player of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
