Whenever the Toronto Raptors schedule is released, I always pore over it. One of the first things I look for is an early and lengthy road trip, which can be a great bonding exercise. For a team loaded with veterans, being away from home is largely a pain. However, the Raptors’ roster is chock full of kids being asked to play important roles, so our guys need the time together.
Cliche Alert – Be careful what you wish for. After the softest pair of games to open a season in memory, the Raptors are indeed on the road.
