And sometimes the NBA season sneaks up on you.
Here we are on what is the first day of the Raptors’ pre-season — October 1st — and I lost track of the whole dang thing. For the rest of the pre-season, and the regular season (obviously), we’ll be coming to you with a morning game preview, a live-action game thread, and a recap. Long time fans of HQ know the drill by now, and new readers should catch on soon enough. As I stumble in here breathlessly (I drove back from Pittsburgh this afternoon), allow me to say: welcome to the Toronto Raptors’ 2017-18 season.
