The Raptors Schedule has been released. Now the path has been set for the upcoming season. It starts October 29th in Philly and 2 nights later the Raptors open at home vs the Warriors. T.J Ford returns to Toronto on December 10th. He has it circled and I am sure a lot of you will as well. Chuck Swirsky and the Bulls hit Toronto on January 24th.
When you break down the schedule the key point that will stick out is Dec 19th- 29th. In that stretch the Raptors will be on the road for 6 straight starting in Oaklahoma City. Another thing of note is the Raptors should have a nice road to the end of the season. After March 15th there is not a lot of tough challenges for the Raptors. It is not unlike the schedules of the past few seasons. After couple days I will break this down in more detail.
