Prediction

http://raptorsforum.com/f/images/icons/TOR%20Small.png - 101
http://www.raptorsforum.com/f/images/icons/pistons.gif - 95

Eventhough Gordon, Rip and Prince are all back in the Pistons line-up, I still think we'll have the upper hand today. One thing's forsure and that's the performance from Detroit will be much better than last Wednesday's effort. :(
