This Weeks Team to Watch
A couple of days early, but the team to watch for November 15th-21st is the Toronto Raptors. I was tempted to put the Nets because I'm actually really curious to see when they are going to get their first win but I think the Raptors have earned some mild interest after playing some fairly consistent ball in their last couple of games.
Even though we're not even 10 games into the season the Raptors have already had some ups and downs and even though their last two opponents have been less than stellar themselves they seem to have hit some sort of stride with Calderon finally remembering how to shoot and the defense not being completely unbearable all the time. This week will be a nice early test which could give us an indication of just how good they are as they play road games in Phoenix, Denver and Utah before closing out with a home game against a tough Miami Heat team. These games are bound to be entertaining as they boast a load of offensive talent with the Raptors, Suns and Nuggets all being top 5 offensive teams and outside of the Heat none of the teams involved are particularly good defensive teams.
