Toronto Raptors fans are very excited for their team reaching the Finals for the first time in its 24-year existence in the NBA. A lot of people are already at the Jurassic Park in anticipation for Game 1 of their best-of-seven series against the Golden State Warriors tonight.

The Raptors had an impressive playoff run that was highlighted by Kawhi Leonard's series-clinching buzzer-beater in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals against the Philadelphia 76ers and the team's upset of the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks. Fans in Toronto have been waiting for this moment for years, and they want to make sure that they're showing their support for the hometown team as it attempts to take down one of the greatest dynasties in the history of the league, the Warriors.

Golden State is considered the heavy favorites to win their third straight title, despite the fact that Kevin Durant is out and DeMarcus Cousins and Andre Iguodala are questionable for the series opener. The Raptors will need to find ways to shut down the greatest shooting backcourt in NBA history in Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, as well as athletic all-around forward Draymond Green, all of which, have been sensational in the playoffs.

The Raptors will rely heavily on Leonard, but guys like Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam, Marc Gasol, Danny Green, Serge Ibaka, Norman Powell, and Fred VanVleet will all need to bring their A-game if they want to give the team a better chance of winning the series opener.

The fans are counting on them to make another history, yet again.
