Pistons lose in Toronto
A few thoughts about last night's loss in Toronto (while on a train heading back to Detroit - it doesn't get more old school, or better). 1) Toronto is a hockey town, not a basketball town. But it's not a terrible basketball town. I was surprised how the crowd got into the game last night. If the Raptors ever reach contender status, watch out Maple Leafs. 2) Ben Gordon is a scoring machine. He could be the Pistons' rep at the All-Star Game. 3) Chris Bosh pretty much had his way down low against the Pistons' big men. 4) There was an Austin Daye sighting last night and Daye showed glimpses of why he was a first-round draft pick. The blocked shots were especially eyebrow-raising. 5) I doubt Richard Hamilton will play Friday in Orlando (maybe even Sunday vs. Philly).
