[SwiZz]

Proud to say I'll be getting pistons tix again this year. Last year, my friends laughed at me for buying such a "boring" team (been a pistons fan for like 10 years)...in fact it seems everyone in toronto shares that opinion, i ordered those tix like 3-4 hours after the box office opened and still managed to get ROW 1 in the upper deck. Obviously nobody was ordering Pistons tix.

Our ghetto fans are still enamoured with their oft-injured heros Iverson and ethnic-look-alikes in Ming. Too bad they missed out on great team-basketball because of a fetish for iversons tatoos or the 'pleasure' of seeing a freaky 7-footer from asia being ignored by his criminal point guard Francis.

Go Pistons!! (and Raptors...hehe)

hahah...

yea i'll have to admit the pistons are a fun team to play against (well at least the raptors)

i went to game 4 of the first round match against the pistons (this was their last play-off season)... and it was INSANE....i still think the raps vs pistons games are really good...i consider the pistons as one of the raptors enemies....they had some good games last season

u have to love playoff basketball....if u've never gone, u should make an attempt to whenever the raptors make the post-season for the next time...if you ask anyone thats been to a playoff game, u'll see that the experience is NOTHING like a regular season game....because all the fans that come are really into the game and support the team....not people that got free tickets from family and come to personally heckle carter and the other players..

I'd like to buy tickets for Vince Carter's return. . . hurry up and trade him . . . . preferably to the Sonics for Ray Allen (sorry, that's the best we can hope for).

dont think he'll be traded anytime soon...i hope he enjoys playing the new style of basketball mitchell wants to implement..

i'm looking forward to it myself...rafaer alston is insanely fast with the balll......i remember his 10 day contract with the raptors intially...he'd be down the court with the ball while both teams hussle behind him....hopefully the pre-season games will give the raptors good practice with the new playing style for them to play well by the season opener..

As long as they shoot more from the paint, i'll be happy!

Oh yes oh yes last year's Pistons/Raps game in January at the ACC went into overtime thanks to the heroics of Vince Carter!! He hit a wicked looking fadeaway posterizing 3 pointer coming off a screen from the left wing with 1 second left on the clock to tie the game.

I swear the roof on the ACC blew off it was so unbelieveably loud after that shot.

Ur so right about playoff bball...OMG the ACC was rumbling during that Philly series way back, teh fans were RABID.

[actyper]

Maybe do a search and see if its the same password as last year? Who knows, might work.

I am only hoping for Sprite Zone ($12.50 tickets), ha ha
and use AMEX pre-sale

Read in the Sun about todays Raptors Annual media confrence. Vince was there. Tried to put everything to rest. Basically he says he's here to play and will play his ass off each time. He's here and whats done is done. I think he said something about he is a Raptor until his jersey says something else.

Well I guess thats good news. The media was asking him about the trade talks and he was pissed and says if I wanted to get traded why the hell am I here? I am getting paid and my job is to play basketball...Something to that extent... :cheesygri

[mtevel]

I propose the Raps move to Skydome and then give away Tix (like the Jays promotions this summer)
