If the Toronto franchise was coming into the league next year, they'd probably be called the Toronto Deceptacons...
Rip Hamilton is a stain on the Pistons franchise.

Optimus Prime is Red and Blue.
The Detroit Pistons are Red and Blue.

It makes so much God damn sense.

Haha.. how about:
Toronto Lords (of the ring)
Toronto Hobbits
Toronto Torrents (with the recent activity of bittorrent software..even my mom uses it)
and my favorite one...
Toronto Wii


But back to the topic.


Toronto: Won 3 in a row.
Bosh: averaging 39 and 12.5 in his last two on 51% shooting, going 8-10 from the field the game before that.

Pistons: played like poop last game.
Billups: Matchup problem for Calderon

Prediction: Confident Raptors give the Pistons a run in a much closer game than the first one.

Final Score: 96- 88 Raptors

Just as I wont predict after a glorious win, I also wont predict following a horrific loss.

Well then I will.

After losing to the league's traveling circus, we should take the court with a thirst for blood. Bosh will probably go off (he's been damn good as of late), but I fully expect to abuse them on the perimeter and contest everything defensively.

This was going to be a tough game for the Raptors even before the Knicks loss for your team. But after that loss, playing in Detroit, I just can't see the Raptors pulling this one out. I expect a good fight but in the end, the veteran Pistons team should come out on top.

Man, I wish we played more games against teams like yours. It would help accelerate our development. So many garbage teams in the east.

GL Pistons fans.

Pistons win by 4.

The skinny: Toronto arrives at The Palace for its first visit of the season with a 20-17 record and on a three-game winning streak after knocking off red-hot Portland in double overtime on Sunday while the Pistons were getting trashed in New York

So we mailed it in with the Knicks, the excuse we were on the last game of the road trip. Well, we're home now, we got embarrassed, I can't imagine we don't come out strong. Sheed also likes matching up with other star PFs, so he'll be extra excited for tonight. Pistons by 10.

Detroit has played 5 games in 7 nights....

Raps riding high, could go either way....This game will be decided in the first half...whomever is up will win.

Good luck tonight....
