    For some reason the thread Pyro made has gone..I'm doing my best to recover it so in the meantime I will post my thoughts on the game in a new thread.Sorry about this...

    I didn't manage to actually see this game I'm afraid.Was following the game though.Rip was clutch in the last minute,hit two big jumpers to keep the lead at 5,Raptors had the chance to tie the game but Williams missed,Rip sealed it at the line.

    Memo Okur finishing with 27 points 14 rebounds.Pistons outscored the Raptors 29-19 in the 4th quarter.Marshall had a very strong game for the Raptors with 20 points 16 rebounds.Even though Carter got 27 points he shot 7-20 from the field.I would like to think Prince had alot to do with that

    Rip Hamilton 27 points 7 rebounds 4 assists on 9-19 shooting

    To be down by 11 at halftime,without Ben Wallace going into the 2nd half,make a comeback and win the game is very impressive.

    Pistons win their 10th straight game

    No! My thread, it is gone! No, it's all gone! Why? [​IMG]

    All right, I missed most of the game because I had to do a stupid take-home final, and before you laugh, it was actually the hardest final I ever took. Now you can laugh. [​IMG] It had absolutely nothing that we learned and I had to search through a very long and pointless book to find some answers to questions that were completely vague.

    Anyways, 10 straight! Let's hope we can reach 12 and beyond! As soon as Ben was gone, I thought that we would either lose or have a very close game. Glad that we came back and won. Good for the fans, good for the Pistons, good for everybody except the Raptors and their fans.

    Aw...sorry about your thread, Pyro! [​IMG]

    That was a great game by Memo, and by Rip. I was surprised that Ben was taken out of the game. He shouldn't have kicked the ball, but the team's best player usually would get some lenience.

    I'm loving this ten game win streak! For a few years there the Pistons were pretty miserable to watch, but now things are really turning up. It's like the formative years before a championship team. This is a pretty good time to be a Pistons fan.

    Great, Great game. Pistons rallied back from 12 points in the second half without Big Benjamin. Memo had a sick game, with 27 points, a career high, and 14 boards. Rip poured in 27 also. Great exciting game that I watched while I worked out.
