We're a young team, and that was plain to see tonight. In contrast, the Pistons are a team of veterans.


Good effort by our guys tonight!

This game definately exposed our weaknesses- rebounding, perimeter defense, and lack of ball handling ability in our backcourt.

No one's to blame tonight, the Pistons are just a great team. They're first in offensive efficiency and second in defensive efficiency, and showed it tonight.

The first two aren't secrets by any means, and the latter merely reflects the major loss of TJ.

What a great game to have on ESPN.

On a positive note, Bargs played very well.

Pistons are just BETTER! NO COMPLAINTS WHAT SO EVER. We just can't make mistakes against GREAT teams, or else they will just kill us.

We're just not ready to be at that level.

We're still too young and we're missing pieces.

I'm not upset about this loss compared to say the Seattle game or the Portland game.

AP = SO OLD

Our bench is overrated

Bargnani is back to scoring with 2 rebounds

Bosh back to jump shooting

Pistons are just on a higher level than the Raptors at this point in time.

Until the Raptors find a way to score other than jump shots, they won't have much success.

Billups is simply a baller. He controlled the game from start to finish. Tip your hat to the Pistons and move on.

Our depth is overrated. What we need is a standout player at one of the wing positions.

The bench scoring is obviously gonna drop now that AB is back in the starting line up.

Defino playing like crap lately. Kapono not even taking shots.

Pistons are just the better team.

I think we're getting close to having the worst stable of wing players in the entire league--they are really terrible. Still the same weakness we have had for 3 years now. BC has done nothing to address that.

The rebounding sucks too, but we didnt lose because of that.

Parker was meh tonight.

We got sucked into the Pistons gameplan, and it was like we were playing not to lose.
