NBA 2019 Championship

The 2019 NBA Championship is between The Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Who are you hoping will win, if you care.

Ten Warriors but Kawhi's shootin'
The NBA Championship is ours to own
This summer for the Raptors I am rootin'
Bring the Championship to Toronto


Gotta get down to it
Kawhi is gunning the Warriors down
Should have been done long ago ....


What if you knew Canada
Would never win another NHL Crown?
We the North, Now You Know


Na na-na-na, na-na na-na
Na na-na-na, na-na na
Na na-na-na, na-na na-na
Na na-na-na, na-na na

Guess the cross-over between Basketball fans and enworld commenters is, um, two.

The op and me.

And the number of NBA fans/enworld commenters/Neil Young enthusiasts ....

I hope the Raptors win. Damned road closures for the "Jurassic Park" viewing parties are adding up to 40 minutes to my commute, so I want it to be over as soon as possible.

With word of how bad the 401 is, and most roads around the GTA in general, how would you know the difference?

I would have to leave for work as soon as I got home from work? I'm in the downtown core and drive down to the lakeshore, past Scotiabank Arena, to get out of town at the end of the day. 401 is well to the north.

Aaaaaaand, now there's been a shooting right in front of the university where I work. That's half a block north of where the unofficial celebrations had started and where the celebrations will be taking place on Monday, in Yonge-Dundas Square.

*Correction* The parade will be terminating at City Hall (as seen and blown-up in Resident Evil: Apocalypse), not Yonge-Dundas Square.

You've won a basketball championship, AND you have a shooting?

Welcome to the US, Toronto!

Tis said new reports that up to 4 people were shot/stabbed during the celebratory parade.

Four people hit by gunfire near the celebration. Two separate stabbings at the Eaton Centre (a shopping mall, some distance away from the celebrations), and apparently more gunfire in the same area I mentioned previously, where there was a shooting exactly a week before.
