And also Raptors fans raised money for one of Kevin Durant's charities to make up for the classless ones.

I would have loved to seen Durant healthy. I was rooting for a Raptors - Warriors series all year. It is tough to reach the Finals 5 straight years and remain completely healthy.

Outside of the fans that cheered they have a great fan base which Im not really apart of they are just my favorite East team. I used to root for Reggie Miller & the Pacers because I wanted to see him win a ring so bad. They way Steph Curry moves without the ball reminds me a lot of Miller as well as the accurate long distance shooting. Anyways I knew my Suns were out of it from the beginning of the season so I was rooting for Raptors vs Warriors finals.

On edit : I think most of the real fans were priced out of the Finals.

On edit: cheering for an injury is not that unheard of. I remember Eagles fans at the stadium that day cheer when Michael Irvin suffered a career ending injury. I also had 1997 Arizona Cardinals season tickets and fans cheered when Kent Graham got hurt vs the Titans or Oilers who happened to be the Cardinals QB. I think they all including myself wanted to see Jake Plummer who was a Rookie but I didn't cheer I was just a kid. Besides they didn't play Plummer until the next game in Philadelphia I think they subbed Stoney Case that games against Tennessee.
