the raps schedule is out! our first opponent is ................Houston!!! http://www.nba.com/raptors/schedule/
I display my unhappiness in the NBA forum about the National Televised Games. Only two games on National TV?? And both are on NBA TV. Atleast we'll be on it when we make the playoffs. I like our schedule for the last month or so...its not as tough as last years.
UGH!!!! look at our first month 3 Wed Houston 7:00 pm -- -- 5 Fri Detroit 7:00 pm -- -- 7 Sun Portland 1:00 pm -- -- 9 Tue @ Sacramento 10:00 pm -- -- 10 Wed @ Utah 9:00 pm -- -- 12 Fri @ Seattle 10:30 pm -- -- 13 Sat @ Portland 10:00 pm -- -- 16 Tue @ L.A. Clippers 10:30 pm -- -- 17 Wed @ Denver 9:00 pm -- -- 19 Fri Seattle 7:00 pm -- -- 21 Sun San Antonio 1:00 pm -- -- 23 Tue @ Washington 7:00 pm -- NBATV 24 Wed New York 7:00 pm -- -- 27 Sat @ New York 1:00 pm -- -- 28 Sun Washington 3:00 pm -- -- 30 Tue @ Miami 7:30 pm

wow 3 back2backs in a row and they r all on the road. against tough western teams. i doubt we can stay .500 on that road trip ... i wouldn't be surprise if we start out the 04-05 season on a big losing streak. but neways opening night vs tmac
7 of our first 11 games are against teams that were good last yr or have dramatically improved.. and with the 3 back2backs on the road.. nba schedulers are gay
like i said ^, i think out of our first 21 games...we will likely win less than 9 games. so if we are fortunate and lucky we should be somewhere around 3-5 games below .500 imo. But, of course i want the raptors to prove me wrong.
I hope Rafael Araujo can hold off Shaq... but that ain't gonna happen so I guess the Raptors PFs/Cs will just have to average 6 fouls a game for the 4 games we play the Heat.
THis schedule should put the Raptors on TV for us to see , tough openers thjough, I think I'mgonna try and get tickets for the season opener.
Man,who ever came up with the Raptors schedule must hat VC or something man its going to be tough for them but you never know thye could suprise a lot of people.The Magic suprised everyone when they lost all of those games,so maybe the Raps will suprise everyone and win a lot of these tough games.
This is depending if Vince Carter stays. 3 Wed Houston 7:00 pm W 5 Fri Detroit 7:00 pm L 7 Sun Portland 1:00 pm W 9 Tue @ Sacramento 10:00 pm L 10 Wed @ Utah 9:00 pm L 12 Fri @ Seattle 10:30 pm W 13 Sat @ Portland 10:00 pm L 16 Tue @ L.A. Clippers 10:30 pm W 17 Wed @ Denver 9:00 pm L 19 Fri Seattle 7:00 pm W 21 Sun San Antonio 1:00 pm L 23 Tue @ Washington 7:00 pm W 24 Wed New York 7:00 pm W 27 Sat @ New York 1:00 pm L 28 Sun Washington 3:00 pm W 30 Tue @ Miami 7:30 pm L 8-8 really isn't all that bad a of a record seeing as how this is really a tough schedule.
WE only face Atlanta, Chicago and cHarlotte 3 times!!! They could have given us tough teams to play 3 times!! Nevertheless...at least we only get to play Indiana 3 times as well.
Oh sh*t.... but you never know, tough teams in first month might benefit us in the future... and who knows how we could do against them?
Oh well ... but then again, the Raps play much better when they play tough teams. Then we lose to dumb teams. ;
^ yes its true, thats very odd imo but even when the raptors play good against good teams, they always come short ....just liek that stretch when the raps lost a few hard breaking games against detroit indiana and LA i think.
