Canada: “we require vaccinations for all visiting players”
Kyrie: *Hisses*
Covid rules are gone now
Yeah playing in a different country than the rest of the league could do that.
By the GMs though. In reality it’s not what it once was as we have some of the highest ticket prices in the league.

Visitors just thinking about the taxes lol
Nuggets are objectively better
That Will explain the 2020-21 Seasons!!
Nuggets fans in shambles with their high altitude
By who? Toronto fans?
Lmao no shit they got a whole country supporting them
* cold as fuck
* decent city night life
* international travelling hassle
* cold as fuck
It’s about damn time we get some respect. Honestly I was beginning to feel anxious that a team that has a very strong culture, a championship and the rookie of the year is somehow still not getting any recognition but this at least is a first step. All you haters can kiss my left cheek
Considering the fans love cheering for major injuries it makes sense
Cause it’s literally the only team in the entire country?
If you ask Chris Broussard he says African-Americans don’t feel comfortable playing there as it’s not America.
Why would you vote on home-court advantage rather than just look at stats?
There have been extensive studies done about this, using all sorts of math to weed out how good teams actually are, and it’s pretty much always all Denver teams across all sports that win. Jazz second for similar reasons. Raptors pretty close to the bottom for NBA teams.
not sure why I’m being downvoted but feel free to read all about it [here](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1701.05976.pdf), the study has the Nuggets and Jazz at #1 and #2 and the Raptors at #24
Pretty sure when you look at win rate and point differential over a long period of time the only home court that’s relevant is Denver and Utah because of the elevation.
I don’t see the reason tbh. The toughest home-court is GSW.
I mean that vaccine paywall to play in Toronto is a doozy for some teams. Hard to win without your best players.
Vegas will soon enough. Look at the first year run of the Golden Knights. Guys were hungover as fuck.
This home field advantage is going to disappear completely soon as tickets prices keep going. I make decent income and so does my brother and brother in law. Last time we were all in Toronto together and wanted to go to a game we little shocked at how expensive they were.
Are they including Detroit?
Because they have all of Canada supporting them!
If you adjusted Home court ratings for Altitude then Toronto would be in the top 3 but otherwise they are very much in the middle going by the Data.
Shame we couldn’t get the final battle for Toronto between the lakers and the raptors in 2020
Its definitely Denver for the altitude alone. Even if you’re just looking at crowds, the Raptors games don’t have the same energy that they used to a few years back.
The mascot is what puts it over the edge
Ah, so that’s why we got snuffed so badly.
I thought it was always Denver due to the air pressure.
They lost a big advantage when Canada started to allow unvaxxed people into the country.
