I'm looking forward to Friday's game. The Pistons are on fire right now but I'm hoping to see our boys come out and put on a good show, not just for the home crowd, but for their family and friends who might not have been able to see much of them this season outside of those with League Pass. Friday's game on ESPN could be a great one. I think we all remember when the Raps got their first NTL game against Phoenix a long time ago, and how much it inspired our players. War Raptors!
I heard Mitchell is going to be mic'd up for the game so if your watching the feed from ESPN your going to hear him during halftime in the locker room, during timeouts and just during random parts of the game. Mitchell is going to have to clean up his language for this game.
This is gonna be great. Now people can see that our team can compete and run with the big boys. I just hope we don't get to excited and just have Bosh shooting 3's. As for the game standpoint, I really want to see the Calderon vs. Billups match-up. 2 very good point guards who know how to lead their team. I really want to see Calderon take it at Billups and draw fouls. I'm also really hoping Bosh can get the best of Rasheed. He is a scrappy guy, but I think if Bosh takes it to the cup and makes his jumpers. we will be fine. Can't wait for this game!
I'm pretty amped. Its complete bullshit that we only got a single nationally televised game this year, but I've been looking forward to it for a while now. I hope Delfino comes out and snaps out of his mini-funk against his old team. Beating a team that's playing as well as Detroit on the national stage should get our boys some much deserved recognition.

Its not much, but its a start, I reckon.

Although you could argue that we haven't really proven anyone wrong with our play this season. It looks like I can't get the ESPN feed up here. Does anyone know a way of getting that (perhaps through the internet)?
