We don't have a superstar and aren't a contender. Getting an opening night game against Zion is plenty of respect as reigning champions. We got a Christmas game too. I think the NBA is being petty fair seeing as there's no real reason to want to watch us over teams like the Jazz or the Nuggets.

I disagree, this team won the championship - they deserve to open the season at home and raise the banner

I don't disagree. But we don't deserve to get an opening night game because no one outside the city cares. In the choice between the two, I think the banner at home is one that matters more but people here would probably be more angry.

If I wasn’t a Raptors fan I wouldn’t want to see them on TV, championship or not. I’m surprised we got the games we got this upcoming season.
