Pre-season for the Toronto Raptors is a time of boredom for some players, and high tension for a bunch more. The nervous fellows are the ones on the roster bubble, whose future with the team will soon be decided for them. They can still influence the decision with strong results (not effort – all the hopefuls provide that) in the remaining games. There are two, oddly enough back to back and a considerable distance apart. The Raps face the Brooklyn Nets in Montreal on Wednesday, then fly to New Orleans for a date with the Pelicans.
Let’s make some predictions as to who will be with us when the ball goes up for real on the 17th at Scotiabank Arena.
