    I'm sure Canadians must be elated. Pretty sure Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could use the good news right about now. I think I have a photo of him...

    Clearly us Americans need to build a temple to Justin Trudeau, because our God, George Washington, let us down tonight. Still, even you Canadians must admit he does look good shirtless...:p

    Typical Canadian to apologize for winning lol.

    Just happy the Warriors didn't win another one.

    Careful now, or we'll invade Canada again...

    Leave it to Canada to gift us a comedy genius, John Candy, who then made a comedy movie about a bunch of crazy Americans invading Canada.

    On second thoughts, considering our track record, maybe that's not so crazy after all. Though last time we tried it Washington burned to the ground.:confused::drowning:

    @Sallent our statues are not as impressive.. but here was the man voted the greatest Canadian in our history.. voted by the people (in 2010). Tommy Douglas, the politician who created free medical care for all...enacted for the whole country no matter your salary - everyone gets the same care - with no money changing hands - in 1966. Since then we have all been in this together.

    Let's not forget Basketball was invented by a Canadian =)
    We were due to win SOMETHING.. Canadian sports teams have been getting skunked in the major professional leagues for 25+ years.. It will be good for the game and its always great to see the whole country get behind a team like this.

    Canadians invented basketball? Next thing you know we'll be finding out Canadians invented Canadian bacon.:eek:

    I think it's time the president considers pressing the nuclear button. This world no longer makes sense.

    Just kidding, obviously. Congratulations again to our brothers and sisters in the north. We love you guys. I'm happy for you. Tonight was a fantastic day for your country, and I'm proud of what the Raptors accomplished. God bless Canada.

    I can't believe I forgot my other Postumus. I don't post it often, so this is the perfect opportunity to show her off again...

    I wonder what odds the sports books in Vegas will give for Toronto "two-peating" in 2020?

    Congrats to the Warriors for making the last five years so exciting. Get well soon, Kevin, Klay and Kevon!

    Incredible series. I wanted to see them win here in Toronto but we'll take it any way we can!

    Caesar's Sportsbook has already announced odds for winning the NBA in 2020. The Warriors are 14-5 favorites and Toronto is 10-1.
