    not like they played well when we had them

    US networks don’t make money off a Canadian team.

    It’d be one thing if the team were good but it’s a non issue this year.

    I thought we had 82 games nationally televised in Canada 😉

    Is this surprising? I barely enjoyed watching our own team last season. Why would another country want to?

  5. pallychoo

    Wdym raps have 82 nationally televised games

  6. TayOs1998

    Well we’re Canadian and mid so it makes sense

    We’ve had terrible half-court offence for years now. It’s gotten worse every year. Raptors fans don’t even enjoy it, why would anyone else watch

  8. Lucky they get any. I would have no interest in watching this team if they weren’t from Toronto.

  9. For fans who don’t live in Canada, seems like a good year to have league pass

    We have 82 nationally televised games. We live in Canada.

    What do you mean? We’re in Canada so every game is nationally televised.

  12. yetagainitry

    And? We’re a play in team with no national stars. We’re lucky to have games on TSN right now.

    The Raptors are one of eight teens with only one nationally televised game. As currently constructed they’re one of the least interesting of those eight. But NBA needs to make TV schedules more flexible because rosters will change.

    We have as many as all the other teams I wouldn’t necessarily want to watch.

    How are US advertisers supposed to make money off Canadian viewers? Not surprised at all that we have only 1 US nationally televised game

    The NBA needs to give Apple TV some games, that will fix it

    Confused why Canadians should care about nationality televised games in a different country, we have all 82 nationally televised in our own country..

    Even when the team was really good they barely got national tv games lol

    We haven’t been must-watch tv since Vince. Scottie is good, building towards very good, but far from a transcendent superstar. Hopefully we trade Siakam, suck for the year, and keep our first round pick next year and get someone great.

    Can they at least televise 4th quarters when Scottie answers the call?

  21. japanflag

    I mean it’s been a while since we’ve been the Craptors, this is something old fans were used to.

  22. mo_downtown

    No one south of the border wants to watch this team, we aren’t watching comparable out of market teams, either.

  23. Barnicus53

    Why do people care so much? I never understood it.

    Can this crap stop. Seriously. There are very few Raptors games that are nationally televised in the US because Toronto, believe it or not, in not in the USA. Therefore very little of that audience can actually watch the noted US broadcast as the rights in Canada are owned by Bell and Rogers. JFC
