Just saw the white Northern Uprising shirts on twitter. Was hoping they would be red. The ACC in all white won't be as cool imo. Almost all home teams wear white.

It's in case we play Washington, Miami, Chicago, etc. We had a problem in our last playoff trip where the Nets were away and wore red so it looked like the crowd was for NJ instead of us.

All raptor playoff games being broadcast on tsn. Is this a sign of things to come?

The playoffs just created a resurgence of new posters/old posters returning. Once the playoffs are done (and yes I agree brooklyn will definitely be tough) and the raptors may or may not make a first round exit, those same posters will just disappear again until its time to rejoin the bandwagon.

I'd like to think a lot of the new posters are like myself and have just found this website. I didnt know this website existed till this year and will continue to post long after this playoff run.

Makes sense, didn't think of that.

After a general survey of the internet, the most popular pick seems to be nets in six. Let's get this started.

Im rooting for the raptors in the east!!!!!!!!

I started following the raptors since nando de colo got traded to this team, i wanted to see his progression with his new team. As i followed raptors from time to time, i realized that this raptor team is such an underrated team, that's why i started liking the raptors!!! Demar and ross great scorers, Veluncias very talented and skilled big, Kyle Lowry a very skilled and high IQ player and he has the leadership skills, amir johnson great defender, JV great solid shooter, there are a lot of guys here that can really play.

I think that this team got all the tools to reach eastern conference finals!!! this team is very dangerous in the playoffs!!

And he has been playing great lately. I am very impressed with his quickness on defense, and the speed with which he gets the ball up the court on offense. I think when more of the Raptor's players get used to his incredible passing, he will have a significant impact. I think a lot of the time his team mates aren't expecting a pass form him and react too late to make the catch. Very happy to have him as a member of the organisation.
