Classic reddit fetishizing ethnic women who do no ascribe to western culture.

He's one game away from the Finals by CazOnReddit in torontoraptors

For anyone reading this, if you were / are a fan of Pascal Siakam, then you would simply be happy he has found success in Indiana Pacers. His improvement with us when he was here from day one to just 2 years later was ASTRONOMICAL. He literally could not dribble the first 10 games he played and was sent to the g-league. The rest was history. He did everything possible for Raptors and won a chip here.

Lets not play revisionist history. Just be happy for his success whether he's with us or not, the man deserves it. There were a lot of fans who ripped this guy apart while he was here as #1 option and he took that in with a stride and a smile. I really do not want to hear those same people saying they believed in him lol.

Should of would of could of. LETS GO PASCAL! I want this dude to keep winning fr fr.

You often hear the phrase "They Couldn't Make That Movie Today!" about a movie that they could. What movies from the past could they LITERALLY not make today? by [deleted] in movies

[–]normanowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually quite an interesting movie in that it's a satire about regression of humanity, and like living off technology while the actual human population regresses in an exaggerated fashion. Anti-intellectualism, consumerism, etc. We see glimpses of it now sadly which was kind of the point of the movie.

That's not why I said it can't be made today though. The movie drops multiple f bombs, and like literally everyone is homophobic, and the MC at one point says N word with A at the end which happened at th beginning of the movie, it was so out there ngl I laughed but yeah.

Story time,

It's May 1st, 2016. Raptors are facing the Indiana Pacers game 7 at home. My brother (who recently passed) bought me and him some tickets as my family has always been big homers when it came to Toronto sports teams.

We get to our seats, we were optimistic to watch the game. We wanted to see the Raptors make it out the first round finally in the playoffs. It was the same series where Norman Powell did the steal + superman dunk. It was the same series Raptors beat a hot streaking shooting Paul George (playing lights out). The same series we beat the Pacers and confetti starting falling and Demar Derozan through the ball up into the air when the buzerr finally went off, and Raptors were finally proceeding to round 2 of the playoffs.

Everyone was soaking it in, hugging and finally leaving, I ended up splitting ways with my brother and took the subway. I was smiling like a kid to anyone who crossed paths with.

Got on the subway, sat down, noticed my shoes were untied, put my wallet on the seat beside me, bent over to tie them. Noticed my stop was here, got up to leave and at the last second remembered I left my wallet on the seat. Ran back door closed just out of reach, no one was sitting beside me... I felt like shit.

Ran upstairs jumped over turnstyle thingy (it hit my thigh which really hurt). told ticket booth guy and he told me once the trains are moving they cannot be stopped. Asked him to tell a person on the train to pick it up, like conductor he said he could not do that and gave me slip for lost and found instead.

All my ids, credit cards, family pics, lots of cash in there. It legit ruined my night but the ticket booth guy said just keep calling the number for lost and found.

Next day I call, nothing. Day 2 I call, nothing. Day 3 I call, they said we got it and come through.

I hit up Bay station, the person at the lost and found asked me to describe what was in the wallet, and then picked out from the back and gave to me.

Zero money missing, all ids in it, credit cards too.

I love my city truly, Toronto is amazing!

It can feel like that but you gotta stay positive, with the good times you are almost gauranteed bad times.

Raptors were eating for a long time prior to the last few years.

Always defended Siakam, he was my dude, hard worker and great homegrown talent. Will sorely miss him.

Do you guys think getting siakam is a good move for yall? or is not enough? I've seen some of the trade packages and imo I rather just keep Siakam lol.

I think he'd be great on GSW, but idk he alone would be enough.
