Matt52, I found that article to be whiny. Raptors have at least made it to the 2nd round before, as well as experienced being division champions. Cant say the same for the Warriors or Wizards.
The Warriors knocked off the #1 seed in 2007 and went to 2nd round - same year Raps won division.

Washington made 4 consecutive playoff appearances from 2005-2008.

One division title in 10 years (and 2 first round exits!) is hardly anything to be excited about - especially the last 4 seasons. The only hope that remains from last season is JV. The losing continues, the defense is gone, and as of right now so is the financial flexibility.

I can see how the article is perceived as whiny but I can relate. When all your optimism and hopes for the team are repeatedly proven to be inaccurate to put it lightly and an absolute failure to be honest, it is frustrating to say the least.

This is the whole problem as a fan right now:

"....and so has my will to get outraged over all the things that have pissed off Raptors fans in the past decade. Too many of those frustrations show no signs of going away, and I’m tired of pointing out problems that almost everybody except for the employees of this franchise seem capable of understanding — or willing to change because ongoing profitability makes those changes unnecessary."

The Raptors continue to make money despite its failures. Great for ownership, horrible for fans.
