The Raptors will be playing their first game of 2008 tonight, it’s also their first home game since losing to the Celtics at the Air Canada Centre back on December 16th. This will also be the first time the Pistons face former Tayshaun sub Carlos Delfino since trading him to Toronto back in June for a couple of 2nd round picks. Carlos has been a solid contributor off the Raptor bench scoring 9.2 ppg and pulling down 4.9 rpg averaging 25 minutes. The Pistons will have to fight the temptation to look past this game to their showdown with the Boston Celtics at the Palace on Saturday.
Also see Raptors HQ who were kind enough to ask me about the match up yesterday only I was away from the computer most of the day. Next time guys!
