Despite there being only one Canadian team remaining in the NBA (moment of silence for the Grizz), the Raptors are getting set for the fifth iteration of the annual pre-season Canada Series in October.
This time out, the Raptors take their pre-season show out to Rogers Arena in Vancouver on Oct. 1 to take on the Golden State Warriors, and follow it up with a game in Calgary’s Saddledome against the Denver Nuggets on Oct. 3.
The appeal of both these games, pre-season or not, is obvious. In the Warriors, Canadians and Raptors fans get an early chance to see the new Lineup of Death with Kevin Durant.
