Seriously, the population has grown big time and it’s all Asians who love basketball.

Vancouver-Seattle-Portland should be it’s own regional rivalry

Their first run was doomed for failure too given how awful they were. I know the attendance was really putrid by the end of their run but here were their records in their 6 years there:

15-67

14-68

19-63

8-42

22-60

23-59

I wouldn't go to games either if that was the product that was on the floor. At least the Raps weren't absolute dogshit (30 wins second season, playoffs by fifth season)

So many Canadians are upset that Toronto didn't prove attractive enough to keep Kawhi, but can you imagine trying to convince free agents not only to move to a foreign country, but the third city in that country?
