The Rap-Up: Bring on the Rookies
What an emotional rollercoaster of a first week that was! How do you top a vibes-injecting win, a game where neither team won, and the return of Nick Nurse?
You top it with Scoot, Wemby, Nurse (again), and the return of Adrian Griffin!
Another way of looking at it: the Raptors’ week is highlighted by playing 3 high-profile rookies. Toronto doesn’t play on Halloween but the schedule that follows is spooky enough. The season-opening win over the Timberwolves seems like a lifetime ago after a pair of emotionally draining losses to the Bulls and Sixers.
