Finally, we have some real basketball games to discuss.
Don’t be surprised if Toronto digs a big hole to start the season. The team has one of the toughest October and November schedules in the league. There will be losses. But Toronto will be able to settle down and start December with a long home run. Either way, the Raptors will learn a lot. If Toronto is better than expected, it could be treading water. If it’s worse than expected, Toronto will be on track to land its next star. Either way, it will be good to know what kind of team you are going into the season. (If the Raptors are trying to lose games late in the year, some of those March and April games will be particularly bad, with a much, much easier schedule to end the year.)
Also, there are only four nationally televised games for the Raptors. Back to the good old days.
What are your favorite games on the calendar? Which one are you most looking forward to?
