From the Archives: Game Day: Nets @ 905

Less than 24 hours until the D-League Champion Raptors 905 play their home opener at the Hersey Centre in Mississauga against the Long Island Nets.
Spurs in the 6 will be in the house and here are three things that I will be watching for:
Big shoes to fill: As reported over on Raptors Republic, Edy Tavares has signed a three year contract to play in Spain with Real Madrid of the Spanish ACB League. Tavares absence will leave the 905 with Big shoes to fill, literally.
Bling bling: The first 4,000 fans in attendance will receive a replica 2016-17 NBA D-League Championship ring - that is pretty cool!
One last chance: Earlier today, the Raptors announced the Bruno Caboclo has been assigned to the 905 (Alfonzo McKinnie has been assigned as well). Â Is this Bruno's last chance at securing an NBA career after his rookie contract expires (spoiler alert: I'm not holding my breath)?
Tip-off is at 7pm - you can catch the game live at the Hersey Centre (highly recommended) or on Facebook Live (where the video quarry is apparently much improved this year).
