Raptors ready for battle vs. the Celtics: Preview, start time, and more

I was lucky enough to be one of the fans in the sold out crowd at the Scotiabank Arena for Kawhi’s debut. As you can imagine, the excitement in the air was embodied by the omnipresent post-fireworks smoke. Loud cheers erupted from the crowd every time he touched the ball (even though it resulted in three early misses), and you could just tell the Raptors are in for the most exciting year in franchise history. For a diehard basketball fan, every game is must-watch TV. If you derive pleasure from watching two human beings bond, then watching Kawhi Leonard and Kyle Lowry develop chemistry over time supersedes even the best romantic novels.
