As the Raptors get ready for Game 6 at Oracle Arena in the NBA Finals, fans from Toronto are doing quite possibly the most Canadian thing ever — apologizing.

Warriors against the wall
Despite superstars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson winning three championships since 2015 and building an NBA dynasty, columnist Scott Ostler called this attempted comeback against Toronto the Warriors’ “greatest challenge yet.”
“If the Warriors are going to stave off elimination, and maybe extinction, the Splash Brothers are going to have to party like it’s 2016,” he wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle.
