Toronto Raptors Tickets Continued
The Toronto Raptors are a National Basketball Association team based in Toronto, Ontario. They are currently the only NBA team based outside of the United States. The team is owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd.
At present, the Toronto Raptors have a solid, but success-starved fan base. With only one playoff series win in the teams entire ten year existence, and a high draft pick nearly every year (for which the Raptors have become famous throughout the NBA for poor selections), fans are becoming tired of the "rebuilding" mantra offered up by team management each year.
Chris Bosh is currently the face of the Raptors. He took over from Vince Carter who is now infamous for being paid millions and admitting to not having put his best effort on court.
As well as the poor draft choices, the Raptors' pourous defense has hindered the somewhat high powered offense. After losing the first nine games of the 2005-2006 season, and fifteen out of sixteen overall, Toronto's difficulties continued when the team gave up an 18 point lead to the Los Angeles Lakers in a January 22, 2006 game, and allowed Laker star Kobe Bryant to score 81 points, second highest one game total in NBA history.
