There is excitement in Raptor nation today as the defending Atlantic Division Champions kick off the 2007-08 NBA season at home against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Raptors ended the pre-season with two impressive wins against the Washington Wizards (98-64) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (111-78). With their new found success from last season comes great expectations, but it looks like management added the right players while keeping the core from last season. Continue Reading
