Favourite Current Raptor: Chris Bosh
Favourite All Time Raptor: Carter at the time, Bosh now
Worst All time Moments: There are too many to list. Some of the worst are the Babcock era, the Grunwald signings that crippled us financially, drafting of Camby ahead of so many studs, the drafting of Alex Radojevic in '99, Chris Jefferies in '02, Michael Bradley in '01, Hoffa in '04, Joey Graham in '05...all of which I felt at the time, not in hindsight, were disasterous picks. Owing a 2007 first round pick for freakin' Lamond Murray because we didn't pay the debt off sooner.

Overviewing this thread, I noticed nobody stated where they are from. I know the majority are from across Canada but we also have some European friends. Just interested to see the variety of Provinces, Big/Small cities, etc. Maybe a little fun fact or two about something somebody from the other side of the country may not know about.

I am from Sydney, Nova Scotia. Home of the Tar Ponds. Population is a little over 20,000, and quickly declining. (31,000 in 1996)

Occupation: Student for 3 more exams and then an auditor for Ernst and Young as of September.

Jerseys Owned: Vince Carter, Jalen Rose when the red jersey's were shiney and new

Favourite TV Show: Battlestar Galactica, Stargate (both), 24, Family Guy and many more...

Favourite Food: Hamburgers and French Fries

Favourite Band/Musician: The Beatles or Nas depending on my mood (odd combo I know).

Favourite Raptors Moment: The last home game of Vince's first year which I attended and got to see him pull off a break away 360 and alley-oop. Seeing MJ's last game as a bull in the Skydome and hitting a game winning jimmy was pretty sweet, but I guess that's not a Raptor moment per se.

Favourite Current Raptor: Most optimistic about Bargnani, but if BC does right by me it'll probably be whoever we get to fill the 2 or 3.
Favourite All Time Raptor: 2 years ago I'd never believe I'd be saying this but a year of terrible guard play has me leaning towards Vincent Lamar Carter.

Cool! I'm in the midst of my 3rd year.. I hate community health :hammerhead:

I'm not too sure what 4th year class is about but half my year is hospital clinical. We integrated med/surg throughout the past 3 years with pathos and care plans etc but I'm not sure how much it's used next year.

[raekwon]

2nd year I had Geri/Maternity, 3rd was Med/Surg, 4th was Palliative/Mental Health/Community Health. We had clinical as well for each section. For each clinical, half was hospital based and the other half being community based.

I'm also working for the Red Cross for my community clinical and they split it half and half with us too. I'm just on a basic med floor right now.. lots of cvas etc..

Would you happen to have your learning assessment tool from 4th year? It's the one thats like 4 pages of questions that assess' learner, teacher and environment. My email is antogalic@hotmail.com send it to me if you got it thanks!

[Chamberlain]

Welcome, Peroti.

Can I ask why you are a fan of the Raptors? Some kind of connection to Canada, or perhaps a favorite player?

Just wondering!

[Peroti]

Thank you!

Well no, I have no connection to Canada but when I started playing basketball in 1999 I loved Vince Carter so Raptors just happend to be the team I started following. And when Carter left I thought "Man, do I have to change my favourite team now?". But as I thought that I heard how silly it sounded. I could never change my favourite team and ever since that day when i realized that my love for the Raptors has been growing. :)

Add anything else about yourself, too.

Until Lacrosse came to Edmonton in 2006, I was pretty much a hockey only guy but the sport of lacrosse has changed my sporting tastes completely.
In 2008 when I began to work in the Rush office, I became a student of the game of lacrosse and that love and knowledge translates so well into NBA Basketball that I began watching B-Ball instead of boring hockey.

Last season, I watched at least a Raptor game a week and caught quarters here and there of non-Raptor games. Joining the boards to further my self-education of basketball.

Add anything else about yourself, too.

I've been a fan of the Raptors since their inception and a fan of the Celtics since I can remember. I'm a short road trip from Boston and have been to many games over the years.

Growing up I also liked watching Reggie Miller and the Pacers. They played some hard nosed basketball and had some great playoff series. Walsh put together a couple great teams. It's kind of ironic that he is with the Knicks now.

I Started watching the NBA when i was like 10 years old, and got obsessed with it. when i first started watching the raptors were really bad they won 27 games all year i was hoping they made the playoffs that i watched every game. After they won they 47 games i stopped watching them as much instead i am a hawks now.

Favourite All Time Raptor: Even though he wasn't here very long, probably Charles Oakley. Maybe JYD or Keon Clark. :oldlol:

Anything else about yourself:

I first became a fan of the Raptors in 1999. I was one of those fans who kind of lost interest in the NBA once MJ retired because I was a dumb kid. I realized how stupid that was since basketball is my passion and I loved the NBA. I wasn't a fan of any team in particular, and I thought the Raptors had the coolest name and logo/mascot. I think subconsciously I was attracted by Vince Carter, because of the comparisons he started drawing to Jordan. I was hooked and have been a fan ever since.
