4 preseason games on NBA TV

[Soft Euro]

Real Madrid will be a game to be careful of.

Still I can't imagine a Dwane Casey-coached team not being ready when they step on the floor.

It's pre-season; winning isn't supposed to be important. We might not want to lose to a Euro-team (imagine), but luckily we'll play by our rules.

Nevertheless, considering teamchemistry et al I'm favoring Real Madrid here, but they might decide not to upset NBA teams if they intend to play against them in the future ...

Wow!! We are getting close. It won't be long.

I'm eager for this season to start!

I watched the youtube clip below of Nikola Mirotic's play last year with Real Madrid as a 20 year old. Good skills inside/outside but he seems to be vertically challenged by NBA standards.

[Puffer]

I am pumped!!!!!

Wow. NBA TV is showing 29 pre season games and the Raps get 4. Imagine the Raps had 14% of the regular season games broadcast nationally in the US. That would be about 30. :P

Real Madrid has a few familiar names on the roster. The pressure will be on the Raptors to win against a good European team.
