Use this post as an open thread for the NBA Finals Game 5. The game tips off at 6 PM PT on ABC.
The Toronto Raptors were a joke. The team born with jagged 90s pinstripes and a giant cartoon dinosaur. The team that stars left behind. Vince Carter. Tracy McGrady. Chris Bosh. The team that drafted Andrea Bargnani first overall. The team that could never win a Game One. The team that choked in the playoffs.
The Toronto Raptors are no longer a joke.
The Raptors still need to win one more game to secure their spot as champions, but the perception of the Raptors is different now.
