Official Game Thread: Raptors vs. Pistons

[Dtown84]

the guy on the heat-bucks halftime show tonight was referring to the ben wallace with the bulls deal and noted that "joe dumars is always right and they should make t-shirts that say joe is always right". I love that BC schooled Dumars in that Delfino deal. This guy is historically good i think he might be in the mafia.

Yes Joe is heartbroken over losing Delfino's 9 pts per and incredible defense, I'm mean what with the Pistons bench struggling so much....oh wait.

Seriously though hope it's a good game, and wish you the best of luck the rest of the season. No reason Toronto can't keep the fourth seed, or sneak and grab the third.

Prince vs Moon is going to be an interesting matchup.. nonetheless raptors win! raptors win! raptors win!.. primetime baby

Its time for Bosh to prove it to Sheed that he aint no sissy.

.. Bosh is in the weight room right now hittin it up with the rocky anthem

Wake me up when he breaks the 40% FG barrier.

It is fairly humorous that the moment he leaves, the Pistons bench blows up. We will take Jarvis Hayes and Two 2nd rounds thank you very much.

Dumars, as the kids say, FTW.

OOO these is fightin words

Go Raptors. Lets show the nation we ain't no joke, and then at halftime the announcers can talk about how big of a fluke we are!

WOO

[Air Canada]

This is gonna be a really tough game. I just hope the Raps can play well in their first game on ESPN in a few years.

[Trilogy]

I'd be surprised if we don't have a different intro song for this game, seeing as how we changed it last year at this time, it being a new year & talk earlier in the season about it.

Something to look out for.

[UnRealGM]

will be an interesting game, if raps can keep it close in the first and third, it'll be a tight one.

[theSkinny]

woot woot....im on hols in tobago and just realized I have ESPN at my villa....

I was sad to miss the spurs/rockets games but all that will be made up for by the fact i will get to hear smitch and the espn crew and no chuck/leo/jack for a whoooole game...

I have a feeling Jason Maxiell goes off

[mwaschkowski]

I'm in for the underdog, our Toronto Raptoooooooooorrrrrrrssssssss.

It really depends on which team shows up, the one that beats San Antonio, or lost to the Sonics (blech)...

Looking forward (sorta) to seeing this fine Detroit bench that has been mentioned.

PS. to the guy in Tobago, keep the paradise comments to yourself, I'm turning green over here, and its not just cause I suffering the flu with it being -12C outside

The Pistons always look to exploit mismatches, and whenever Rip is in vs Delfino expect Rip to take it to him.

Pistons 102
Raptors 83

-sheed beats up bosh again

I expect a similar score.. the Pistons are so hot right now.

Maxiell is exactly what Hoffa was supposed to be.

Its almost laughable how everyone here overvalues what D Elf has done here. He's been a surprise but that trade is still a wash.

It's even more laughable no one has mentioned Chris Bosh as another Joe Dumars success story. You guys aren't very good at bragging

Hopefully Rip doesn't go off on us tomorrow.

You may have just saved the ship.

But in honesty had we had the 2nd pick probably would've taken him before Bosh too. There was so much hype around this guy.

[RapsBulls4evr]

Raptors will win, I feel a winning streak coming.
