You may not be able to watch the Toronto Raptors play any live games any time soon but, there’s a bunch of old matchups that can keep you entertained.
Twenty-Twenty has been uhh… weird. The Toronto Raptors are NBA champions, people are dating in “pods” and, the whole world has kind of shut down due to a global pandemic.
Students have moved to online classes, most people are working from home (shoutout to all the essential workers who still have to go into work and help their communities!) and worst of all – sports have seemingly all been postponed.
As Raptors fans that means for the time being Pascal Siakam spin moves, charges drawn by Kyle Lowry and yelling at Nick Nurse for having Patrick McCaw in the game have all been put on hold.
Not only are Raptors fans just losing a season of basketball, but we’re also losing one of the most fun Raptors seasons of all time.
They’ve defended their title with an unbelievable amount of tenacity and passion while putting a near stranglehold on the second seed in the Eastern Conference, leaving us fans begging for more Raps games.
For the Canadian fans out there, TSN and Sportsnet are both re-airing last season’s amazing run to the NBA championship. Though, if you’re anything like me, that’s not enough to keep you occupied for days and weeks on end.
That’s why I compiled a list of the five best Raptors games to watch/re-watch during this stressful time of self-isolation and social distancing.
