Tonight we have our Raptors visiting the Detroit Pistons, tipoff at 7:30 PM - available on TSN2 (blargh!) as well as www.channelsurfing.net and on the radio with the Fan590. The Pistons have beaten our guys ten straight times at the Palace of Auburn Hills, and the Raps have dropped six in a row and 12 of their last 20. Maybe the pressure of a hostile arena can inspire the Dinos to steal a win on the road.
NBA.com preview
W2W4:
- The Pistons have started guards Richard Hamilton, Allen Iverson and sensational sophomore Rodney Stuckey recently, but head coach Michael Curry says he will only start two of the three, bringing the third off the bench. Stuckey's play has been outstanding, but his size (just 205 pounds at listed 6-5) leaves the Pistons vulnerable on defense to big guards.
- Sorry Raptors fans, but Jose Calderon will miss yet another game with a sore hamstring. It is unclear whether Anthony Parker will continue to start at point guard or if Will Solomon or Roko Ukic will get the nod.
- Jermaine O'Neal, however, will play again after missing Monday's game against Atlanta. Jermaine's been mentioned in trade rumours as of late, primarily heading to Miami for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks, but hopefully he can ignore them and play to his potential.
