Re: Raptors @ Pistons, March 18th
Bosh should sit this one out, it's no use playing him when the season's a wash. But either way I don't see us winning this game, without Bosh, with Bosh at 70%, or with Bosh at 100%. The Raptors are on the road and the Pistons are playing great ball lately. This is a great game to use to improve our draft position.

Re: Raptors @ Pistons, March 18th
Very astute of you Bud_Boy to advance the strategy of tanking to improve the Raptors draft position. That's what I said a few days ago and the teen tribal honkers were all over me, crying that if the Raptors didn't try to win then their lives are not worth living. Some childish fans need to have the hope of winning or else they cannot bring themselves to watch. They refer to the Raptors as "we" as if they are part of the team. Pa thetic delusion ... !!!
There is a tread on how the Raptors will stand at the end of the season. The posters gave their win-loss predictions, but they ignored being specific on the exact wins-losses for the last 18 games. Did you read that thread and if you do could you provide us with your game by game prediction??
Udaman .....

Re: Raptors @ Pistons, March 18th
It is one thing to actually try to win and end up losing, then be able to look at the bright side of increasing our draft position.
It is a totally other thing to suggest that the Raptors will wave the white flag and play to lose like you did.

Couldn't agree more.
Yes Detroit has been playing some great ball, which means that we don't have to tank anything to lose this game.
Sam Mitchell is going to have the guys prepared for this one, with or without Bosh.
Are the Raptors likely to win this one?
Of course not, but I know that deep down inside, each and every one one of you are going to be watching, hoping that they do.

Re: Raptors @ Pistons, March 18th
No one expected the Raps to win this game but in they made their run in the 4th quarter, just couldn't get the defensive stops and givin up 103 pts to the Pistons, too bad the Pistons couldn't repeat what they did against Utah 0 fgs in the 4th quarter, damn I wanted to see Pape Sow play, onlee bright spot is Donyell Marshall wit 25 pts n 12 rebs

Re: Raptors @ Pistons, March 18th
I didn't get to see much of this game. I was at a friends house watching college ball. Syracuse and Kansas have ruined my bracket, but hopefully they wrecked everyone else's too.
Looks like Rose tried to put the team on his back tonight.
A-Train got to play tonight? He got the blank statline tonight. How did he look?

Re: Raptors @ Pistons, March 18th
What's Babcock doing at the game, shouldn't he be out scouting more players?

Re: Raptors @ Pistons, March 18th
pretty interesting for babcock's answer to his team's needs:
-a guard that can play both the PG and SG
-a defensive-minded small forward
hmmm, felton and villneuva?

He Looked Pretty Good, Even Though They Didnt Give Him The Ball. They Give It To Him Once, And He Was Postin Up But Got Fouled (I Think By Sheed) But They Took It Outta Bounce. Other Than That, They Didnt Pass Him The Ball.. Only When Palacio Tried Goin In & Passin It To Him, But Palacio Went Inside Then Bounced Hard On A-Train's Legs (Which Looks Like A Pass For Palacio)

Re: Raptors @ Pistons, March 18th
I didn't see the whole game, at least we tried to keep it close.
Jalen with another good game today, Donyell played great, 5 three pointers.
No one expected us to win this game anyways so it doesn't bother me that we lost.
Where is everybody?
Come on guys, start posting in these game threads!

Re: Raptors @ Pistons, March 18th
Jalen had a good game? He missed 17 shots! 9/26 from the field.
Pistons top 3 scorers went 23/38 (60%) for 64 points. Defense was the big problem, as usual.
