We at SB Nation are always in favor of official team Twitter accounts trying to snark their followers. Those that do it well, such as @LAKings, make everyone's life more fun. So, we applaud the effort of the Toronto Raptors' official public relations account to bring some personality to what otherwise would be a pretty robotic Twitter page.
Toronto Raptors’ public relations Twitter account is a mixed bag
The team’s official public relations twitter account decided to respond to an avalanche of criticism of the Raptors from their fans. Those responses were a mixed bag.

How'd they do? Well, this tweet, in response to a fan complaining about Andrea Bargnani, made us laugh.
Kind of excited we have the worst player in NBA history. Will have to get that in the game notes. ;-)@bumblebeetuna20:@kayledesouzaaa

This tweet, on the other hand, was kind of lame.
My bad. You're around the team and know more than I do. "@dderozanshouse: @raptorspr good joke"

There’s a fine line between humor and arrogance. Here’s hoping @Raptors_PR continues to fall on the right side of that line.
