But if they are in any kind of playoff race late in the season, things could get dicey. The team plays nine home games in first month of the season ? the biggest month at the Air Canada Centre ? but finish with a gruelling March that includes 10 road games in the busiest month of the season. The season kicks off Halloween at home against the Philadelphia 76ers before a pair of intriguing games. The Raptors face Vince Carter and the Nets in New Jersey on Nov. 2 before heading home to face Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and the re-constituted Boston Celtics on Nov. 4.</div> The Star
