Ratings for the Raptors starting to rise
Helps that the game was on a channel that everyone can get. But the buzz around this team lately has been crazy. Listening to the radio, i haven't heard people talk so much Raptor ball in years.

![]() It's good to see the ratings rise, knowing that more people are supporting the team. At the same time though they should be supporting the team through thick and thin. One thing I truly hate about sports is people that jump on the bandwagon.

![]() I'll be honest. I jumped off the wagon after the ridiculous loss to the Warriors. But then I got right back on as soon as the Gay trade happened

But on topic, I'm glad the interest is rising, and hopefully come April, Toronto, and Canada, is in a Raptors frenzy. |

![]() I think it's a matter of disrespect in terms of how much media coverage the Raps get in Canada, let alone the US. They're Canada's only team in the league yet fans have to subscribe to crappy specialty channels in order to watch a good amount of their games.

![]() It's also up to the organization to make a competitive team year in and year out. A lot of fans are casual, and have no incentive to watch a team that has not history of being amazing. If could become a constant threat in the NBA for a 5 years stretch, I think the team would have a lot of retention, even when they are having a loosing season. Did anyone really go watch Miami play toronto over the last few seasons to see Andrea Bargnani? At least now people do have something to cheer for.

![]() It always pisses me off how the vast majority of the media talk down about the Raptors and basketball in general. It doesn't help that basketball season coincides with hockey and most of the media doesn't want basketball to get any attention and they generally have no clue about the sport, nor do they respect it. I guess because there isn't two athletes holding onto each other at center court, whaling on each other.

![]() At least it's better than having no fans on winning teams (Memphis, Washington). But yeah I know so many people who will be calling the "craptors" a championship calibre.

![]() I refuse to pay for the TSN2, SNET1 and LeafsTV channels, so I watch it when I can.
I'm more impressed by the fact that sportscentre is now starting off the show with Raptors highlights, if the Leafs aren't playing. I remember when they'd show all the hockey highlights (even if the Leafs weren't playing) before they showed the Raptors highlights. |
