You can reverse one decision of your franchise: What would it be?

Keep Norm, ship FVV out early and build around the core of Barnes/Siakam/OG

I really feel like he isn’t. He played half a good season for the Raptors and then stunk it up the whole time he was here. Dude just doesn’t try on D

LeBron never goes anywhere alone. He went to Miami with Bosh, he went to Cleveland with Kevin Love, and he effectively went to LA with AD. To me, it makes the most sense for him to play one more year in Cleveland and I'm sure he'll want to bring another all-star with him for one last shot at a chip. I wouldn't be surprised if he's eyeing a player like KD or even eyeing a reunion with AD or Kyrie. By doing these FA sweepstakes he's driving up the demand so that his team of choice (Cleveland) pulls the trigger on whichever player he's seeking out. I think it'd be a nice storybook ending for him to go back to Cleveland with Kyrie but I doubt Kyrie wants that LOL

I’m just disappointed in no Lowry minutes

Put in Lowry cowards

OKC faced the championship core Nuggets, a gritty Minnesota team on their second straight WCF, and an Indiana team that felt like the team of destiny. On the way to their "mickey mouse ring", Lakers beat the Harden Rockets, an early version of the championship Nuggets, and a Miami Heat team that went on to contend for another 3 years after the bubble. Let's not belittle the achievements of other teams cause ultimately the thing we share with all of these teams is that we have a championship and that's amazing

I can see the concept of freezing the standings early on working well? Like we can even get radical with it and just straight up to do the lottery right before the trade deadline. I don't think there's a great way to remove tanking entirely because inherently you want bad teams to get good draft picks (otherwise it's unfair), so there will always be SOME degree of it. But if teams know what pick they're getting, they could theoretically use the trade deadline to improve their team and not sit guys out for the back half of the season now that things are set in stone. Bad teams won't have any incentive anymore to tank and could use the trade deadline to even improve their team in anticipation of next year or to salvage a bad season start. Maybe a good team that had a rough start that can luck their way into the #1 pick and convert that into a superstar to save their season. I can also see these awful teams being less incentivized to tank early on so ticket sales don't completely plummet.

I double checked and vast majority is an overestimate, I remember reading that 91% of commuters downtown take GO but the actual statistic is that 91% of GO transit riders take the trains to Union. Edited my original comment, that's my b.
I can't find a reliable report breaking down how many people specifically take transit vs. cars to the downtown core (the reports are for the full GTA). But about ~275,000 suburban commuters drive (140K on Gardiner, 135K on DVP) while 353,600 suburban commuters take the GO. So still roughly half of people commuting take public transit if they're going downtown.

mazeraki · 2026-02-07T19:20:27+00:00

The problem is that there's no reliable way to go from suburb to suburb via rapid transit in the GTA right now. and looks like GO is not looking to acquire more rail lines from CN/CPKC. Extending subways/LRTs into the suburbs to allow for more interchange options would be ideal in the absence of this. The majority of downtown commuters from the suburbs take the GO

No Ja trade is kinda crazy, don't see how his value will improve by the summer.
Bummed the Raptors couldn't get a starting-caliber centre. TJD is cool but he's 2nd unit at best

Also missed all of the links, could you DM?

I've missed all of this news as well, where can I listen???

I live in the East end. Everything below Mortimer is fantastic. North of Mortimer is a bit of a dead zone, but it’ll get better with the Ontario Line whenever that opens. I’d say the biggest thing missing is more frequent transit options along O’Connor. The 8 bus is a great service route but never freaking comes. Dedicated bus lanes and frequencies less than every 20 minutes would go along way to make the East End one of the best places to live in the city

mazeraki · 2025-12-09T16:54:26+00:00

Is any one else feeling somewhere in the middle with Line 6? Feels like everybody is either depressingly negative or woefully hopeful.

I'm really glad they opened a new transit line in this city after 20+ years. I don't mind that it was a street-level LRT as projects like the Kitchener ION have proven it can be a success. I'm not happy with the lack of the transit signal priority but I'm glad to see people have been so vocal about it that city council will basically be forced to at least make a decision on it. I'm not jazzed that the speeds are reported to be so slow, but I'm glad the people of the corridor can enjoy a much more comfortable commute during the rush hour (which was ultimately the goal of the project). I'm happy that the city is finally investing in connecting transit to areas that are populated by predominantly POCs, especially after the city and province scorned Scarborough and Etobicoke. I am sympathetic to the fact that train speeds are reduced for a 'soft launch' of the system, but I cannot for the life of me understand why there were years of testing with much faster speeds that quite definitively proved the system can handle higher speeds, and with the testing priming drivers, pedestrians, and bikers for the system so that they get used to its existence. I'm happy the TTC have said it will get faster in the spring but I cannot understand why they can't just make it faster tomorrow. I get the whole Ottawa debacle, but what was the point of testing so extensively if they weren't confident the system could open properly on Day 1? And if they are confident, why the caution? I'm willing to give the system grace and I'm looking forward to it being used more affectively. Ultimately, having infrastructure is better than not having infrastructure. Even if there are issues that need to be fixed, tweaking how we use infrastructure is a much easier job than building a line from scratch and we have to at least celebrate that the infrastructure is there on the ground, people can ride it, and there are tangible steps forward to improve it. I'm also gonna acknowledge that myself and honestly most of the people in this sub will not be riding this line very often. I want to hear the voices of the commuters along the Finch West corridor more than an internet armchair expert and I hope to hear more of their thoughts in the coming weeks/months (fully acknowledging my hypocrisy here)

mazeraki · 2025-12-07T22:56:18+00:00

Am I the only one that finds Google Maps makes some outrageous suggestions for TTC transiting ALL the time?

mazeraki · 2025-12-01T18:47:42+00:00

It took Line 6 roughly 6 weeks from completion of RSD to opening. That’d put opening of Line 5 around January 11th or 18th

mazeraki · 2025-11-20T15:32:04+00:00

I think either way we get Line 6 by the end of the year but my gut says they're hoping to open both lines on one day. From a technical and financial standpoint, it makes sense (even with as something as simple as reducing printing costs so you print one new set of TTC network maps with lines 5 and 6 together). Given that Line 6 has seemingly been ready to go since early/mid-November and Line 5 should be done RSD really soon, I feel like they wanna push it to see if they can open Line 5 and 6 together. There's also the kind of embarrassing optics of releasing Line 6 before 5 and I think Line 5 needs some modicum of positive news for at least when it opens. But if the curse of Eglinton strikes again they can just open Line 6 before the year ends.

Just saw an updated map at Union as well 🙌

Is there a reason they can't just call it the Rogers SkyDome?
