People got scared for Calderon because it would raise his value way too high for the Raptors to afford him. After he gets his long term contract, Im comfortable with any publicity he gets.

Man the hassle of crossing over the border.. meh not worth it being in foreign territory. The cartoons where some character goes into a forest and its all dark and all the trees have evil eyes on them, thats what ESPN feels like coming here.

Bravo!

It wasn't cancelled. It was never scheduled to begin with. It was an error on NBA.com. It was never at any time on ESPN's NBA schedule. ESPN shows a tripleheader of college basketball every Monday. They haven't shown a single NBA game on Monday night all season. I've been saying this, from the beginning of the season. I knew this oversight by NBA.com would lead Raptor fans to cry foul about nothing.

ESPN's contract with the NBA only allows them to show regular season games on Wednesday (1 game) and Friday (doubleheader) and certain holidays (ie. Christmas).

Thanks for bringing us this information.. guess I'll change the thread title...

It was on Raptors.com and NBA.com from the beginning of this season, right when they released the national tv schedule, so its kind of strange that it was an error...
