Raptor Grind One Out Over the Pistons 110-99

Pistons 99, Raptors 110 – Box With 7 of the next 8 games on the road against the West, it was mucho important the Raptors get this one against the Pistons. A Pistons team that grounded out a huge win the night before against the Magic. A Pistons team who was missing Richard Hamilton and…

Gameday: Raptors vs Grizzlies – Oct. 30/09

Things are going according to my plan. We’re only one game into the season, but the Raptors are gunning.

Still, that was enough to provide flashbacks (premonitions?). 3 fouls, 1 assist and providing a face to acid reflux. Bargnani – speaking of worst games of the preseason, Andrea was off tonight. His already…
