Don’t pay any attention to the haters — the Toronto Raptors are in the Eastern Conference finals and everything else is inconsequential.
As the Raptors prepare to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers at 8:30 p.m. for their first Eastern Conference finals in franchise history, Toronto fans have rallied over a perceived slight by CBS Sports.
In its poll, the sports news broadcaster asked fans to vote on who would win the NBA Championship: Warriors, Thunder, Cavaliers or Other. The slight, which CBS attributed to the fact that the poll was created before the Raptors beat the Miami Heat in Game 7 Sunday, was enough to get Mayor John Tory to throw some shade.
