The entire nation of Canada is completely behind the Toronto Raptors as they carry on their quest to becoming the NBA champions. So much so, that an Ontario-based school has decided to altogether abandon their “Warriors” team name as a show of support for the Raptors.
The University of Waterloo has recently removed the “Warriors” name on their official Twitter page to replace it with the phrase, “Go Raptors!” Not only is it pretty funny, but it serves as testament to the fact that Toronto's title run has pretty much captured the whole country's collective backing.
With so much riding on their amazing challenge, the Raptors will surely be looking to close out the series in Game 5 on Monday. Up 3-1 in the series and with Game 5 scheduled to be played in their home floor, Toronto have now become the heavy favorites to upset the back-to-back defending champs, the Golden State Warriors, en route to their first ever title in franchise history.
Nonetheless, every single Raptors supporter understands that this series is anything but done. The Warriors have been in this same predicament before, and have emerged victorious after winning three straight games to clinch the series. This is exactly what Golden State need to do here, and with the Raptors holding home court advantage, the Warriors will need to win in Toronto twice.
Moreover, the odds are stacked against Golden State with the myriad of injuries they have been forced to deal with. Superstar forward Kevin Durant's status for Game 5 continues to be up in the air, and without him on the floor, his team's chances of mounting an epic comeback drop significantly.
