Since being swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers on May 7th, everything has been quiet for the Toronto Raptors, but there are still ways to enjoy the offseason.

It’s a dark day any time the Toronto Raptors aren’t playing but it’s especially dark when there are no NBA games on. When the Raptors got knocked out of the playoffs, I was down but at least there were still other games on to distract me from the utter despair of no Raptors basketball until October.

Sure free agency, there’s some free agency rumours swirling around and the draft is around the corner, but there’s going to be downtime and even the NBA won’t be able to quench your thirst. For all those parched basketball fans out there I’ve come up with some ways slake your thirst.
