On paper the Raptors are 4-2, which is a respectable record, but when you remember those two close losses came against Western Conference heavyweights Golden State and San Antonio there is even more reason for fans to get excited about Canada’s lone NBA club in 2017-18.
Sitting at 3-4, the Nuggets haven’t exactly been setting the world on fire so far this year. While the Nuggets undeniably lack star power, Canadian hoop fans will get a first-hand look at our native son Jamal Murray.
It’s no surprise to see the Raptors sitting seventh in the NBA in points per game (109), the defense has been a pleasant surprise so far.
