@@kingworldadventures That's a common misconception. In Canadian hockey games, when a player gets injured but is able to walk, this shows hope that they can recover. You cheer for an injured player for support. I've even experienced this in my childhood hockey games. I've been cheered for getting up after an injury. It's to show respect, but the American fanbase interpreted it wrong. Canadians have cheered in support of injured players for years. I'm not sure if this is just a hockey thing though.

As a long term Raptors fan, of course I am thankful that we were able to get Kawhi and win a championship. That was a beautiful thing, and amazing to be able to have a minute part in that. That said, it hit me different when DeMar got traded. DaMar is a Raptor through and through, he wasn't the problem, but I know I speak on behalf of every Raptors fan when I say how much we appreciate him. Toronto would never have been in the position they were if it wasn't for DeMar. His play style and personality remains in Toronto, for sure. Hopefully, we get to see him back one day.

Vince is my favorite alltime Raptors as he changed the landscape of basketball in Canada as he was a boxoffice hit and I could not wait to watch his highlights on TSN everynight. Yet Demar is by far the most loyal Rap ever and do feel that the team definitely owns him big time. Hopefully he can come back and retire with the team as he is top 2 Raports alltime right behind his best pal.

To be fair. The raptors had a new coach “Casey was good but not a championship coach” and made like no changes in the playoffs. They also added gasol which was huge for the championship run.
