We the north. My family have already ordered their souvenirs before they sell out.

They sure knew how to draw the win out dramatically!!!!

I was holding my breathe for the last 2 minutes of the game. I was so worried that Curry would get another 3-point shot.

Congrats Raptors!
WE THE NORTH!!

Way to go Raptors!

I could't believe that was THE ONE shot Curry would miss! At first I thought the refs were trying for GS to win, especially at the very end.

I thought their post game celebrations were kind of subdued...

Not a basketball fan but I'm glad they won! It sounds like I should have stayed up to watch the end of the game.

Yeah, we aren't either but kinda hard not to get caught up in the hype!! I had the surface open beside me to watch the score and when it switched to say final score I closed it and went to bed!

Today's a Toronto day and the greyhound goes right past Scotiabank Arena, I was really impressed by the fact that it's cleaned up and no indication of how busy it must have been only a few hours ago.

Me either but after never watching a game, ever, I started watching this final series. I found I really enjoyed it, probably because of the intensity each team brought to their playing.

The way the game ended you must have been holding your breath for 20 minutes! Could not believe how long it took to play that last 0.9 second. Regardless, the outcome was favourable. I honestly don't think I could have taken another game like that. Those guys have nerves of steel and amazing focus to do that.

We are huge basketball fans in our house . My son played travel for 6 years and my husband coached for all of those years. This was a big event in our house and we are so happy !!

And we get free fries at McDonalds! My son will be happy (if you have the app)

Yes, the last 0.9 second is unbelievable! I had to resume breathing when their clock stopped. That helped!! Lol!!!

A great moment in Canadian sporting for sure!!

I'm not sure if I'm more excited that the Raptors won or, that my heart doesn't have to go through that again Sunday night??!!!

 

[ngm]

WHOO HOO! Was so exciting and intense!!

And @scrappinginontario, I totally agree. I could not have done that again! And I think elementary school teachers around Canada must very happy that the kids in their classes will be back to regular bedtimes next week!

My brother was actually at the game - full Raptors gear and all.

Intense series and I was unsure it was gonna happen until Curry missed that 3.

Curry seemed to be off his game yesterday and that might be due to VanVleet, who was an unsung hero this series.

This was a great win for the Raps, for Toronto and for Canada. I've been lucky enough to see Toronto win 3 major titles now. Just didn't expect that 26 year gap between 2&3.

There was some smashed glass in various places while I was bringing my kids to the library this morning (about 10am) but nothing major. No graffiti or anything. Shops were untouched.

We live right downtown and the streets were packed. People just poured out of their apartments after the win and took over the streets. It was amazing. The cheering, car horns, fireworks etc., went on until the early hours.

Now, to see if I can find a 2019 champions hat for my husband in time for fathers day on Sunday!

I am not a basketball fan and didn't follow this at all - but we sure enjoyed the free Harveys burger today along with the free McD fries Go Raptors!

My dh became a huge fan after the leafs were out of the playoffs. Never had an interest before these playoffs.

We had our dd's convocation on Thursday and because we were sitting at an end both he and our ds kept taking extra long bathroom breaks. Then I noticed ds had shown dh how to download some app so he could live stream it.

I'm sure they weren't the only ones (my dd says some boys on stage were doing that). The Valedictorian in his speech let everyone know what the score was at that point. LOL

 

[Donald - my hero]

Interesting to see how many of us became fans. Guess we all wanted something to cheer about!

I wouldn't say Disney ruins other vacations for me. Other trips I take have different goals and different expectations. I'm up for quirky (usually century old) hotels in other places. But when I'm at Disney I have a certain expectation there. I'm seldom disappointed.

I think so. People get caught up in it as fans and media start hyping up the possibility of "this could happen". I don't mind it, never have, with a couple of exceptions that I won't get into.
