What's your favourite Raptors' team (besides 2019)? 

Post#1 » by ___Rand___ » Thu Apr 18, 2024 6:34 pm

What's your favourite Raptors' teams (besides the 2019)?

I've been watching Raptors ball since '95. Mighty might in the skydome!

Mighty might teams. VC teams. Mo Pete and JYD. Early Demar & Lowry. the Bench Mob era. The Kawhi year. Pascal OG era. Current BBQ era.

Edited - Everyone's fav is the chip team. Besides the 2019 team, what's your fav?

But this here, was my favourite team.

Watching Kawhi in the 2019 playoff run was a work of art.

A completely exceptional performance.

2019 was the most anticipated Raptors' season ever. Because we made the big trade. Brought in one of my all-time fav role player in the league Danny Green. And our most talented team ever. I loved watching that team. and enjoyed the championship ride. But it didn't have fan favs like JV and Demar. For personalities and chemistry, I'm picking other teams. For being the most exciting season, it's the 2019 team.

1999/2000

PG Christie - Mugsy - Dee
SG VC - Alvin
SF TMac - Curry
PF Oakley
C AD - Willis

If only TMac re-signed. Drafted Mo Pete and added Keon Clark and Montross.

PG Christie - Mugsy - Alvin
SG VC - Curry - Alvin
SF TMac - Mo Pete
PF Oakley - Clark
C AD - Montross

They would've been championship material.

I think it was the 2020 team for me. Still think they make the finals if not for covid.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

01/02 team. Without Vince, very little offensive punch, still took Detroit to 5 games in 1st round, losing by 1 possession in game 5. Team had heart, played physically, and had that team mindset. Such a contrast to teams in NBA these days.

Other than the chip team, 2015-16 with Bismack in the middle and the emergence of the bench mob was a hell of a ride. At one point it felt like we were gonna conquer the Cavs after winning 2 in a row. That was a feel good time

For me, it's gotta be the Vince era team with the vets like Muggsy, Dell, Oak. That was the first time we get to win and its a big deal for a city that none of the sports team are performing well.

I said this multiple time that kids in my neighbourhood fight to call themselves Vince than Kobe. NBA are tough as nail back in those days as well so it's very fun to watch.

1. 2019 championship team
2. 2001 team with VC that was one shot away from ECF

All the other teams were pretty meh for me.

Same. Loved the Oakley, AD, Kevin Willis, JYD, Alvin toughness with the excitement of Muggsy, Keon, and Dell off the bench.

I liked the team the year they brought in Anthony Parker and Jorge Garbojosa. Garbo had some legitimate Point forward skills until that career altering injury. Parker was the consummate glue guy that would fit perfectly on any team during any era.

I still remember Amir cutting Raptors logo into his hair when rumors of him being traded came out.
