CANOE — SLAM! Sports - Basketball - NBA Toronto: Jose happy to hit road
Calderon believes the team will bond even closer because the guys will see more of each other outside of the basketball court while they’re in Europe from Sept.29 to Oct.11.

The Raptors play three pre-season games in Europe, Oct. 6 and 7 in Rome and Oct. 11 in Madrid, after holding training camp in Treviso, Italy and, unlike when they play pre-season games at home, they will see more of each other after and before the games. And that, said Calderon via a conference call yesterday, ultimately will pay dividends — basically, the old ‘team that spends time together, wins together’ theory.
