Momentum in our corner, but the Pistons after mailing it in against the Knicks will look to take it out on us (I wouldnt expect anything less fromt those guys)
Maybe we "turned" the corner vs. the Blazers...so why not!

This game can be looked at in TWO Scenarios:
1) Raptors beat the Pistons real bad...... (106-80)
Bargnani gets 30 pts, 18 rebs, 10 stels
Bosh 40 pts, 30 rebs, 19 stls
Calderon 40 assists
2) Raptors get beat really bad (Pistons taking frusteration out on them)
Bosh 20 pts, 2 rebs,
Calderon 4 assists
Bargnani 0 pts, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 4 fouls, 20 minutes of play

I hope we win......but I'll be shocked if we do.
The Pistons will be primed after the beating they took from the Knicks.

Usually the first game home after a long road trip is considered a trap game. Unfortunately for the Raps the Pistons loss to the lowly Knicks should have them fired up.

If they want to win on tuesday they have better plan not to give Hamilton so much space. They should just stick moon onto him and see what happens. AP just doesn't have the athleticism to keep up with him. They got good looks last tiem they played. They just missed a bunch of easy shots and layups that you can't afford to miss.

Tayshaun Prince will destroy Parker then...Delfino should be guarding RIP and Moon should be guarding Tayshaun...but the smitch won't realize that until 5 mins into the 3rd...it takes him about 1.5 games to realize the best matchups when we play another team

Hope Delfino continues to earn those minutes. This would be a good place for him to come up big.
