Game 37 Pistons at Raptors

Back at the beginning of the season tonight's game might not have been that would've been circled on too many calendars, however given the circumstances of the last meeting between the Pistons and the Raptors and Detroit's recent turn of fortune, it's going to be a game that many eyes will be on tonight.

• Detroit recently waived power forward Josh Smith. Not traded, waived. He would go on to be picked up by Houston, but since then the Pistons have been on a tear and have won 5 straight on the road.
• Who can forget the devastating dunk laid down upon Andre Drummond by James Johnson during the last match-up between these 2 teams?
• Though his services would be greatly endorsed, DeMar DeRozan will not return tonight. #3 James Johnson will get the starting spot again.

Song Of The Day

Glueleg - "Pistons"

Ten Raptortracks style points if you remember Glueleg, a band from Toronto whose career peaked in 1997 with the release of Clodhopper. 3 of the 11 tracks off the album got significant airplay on Much Music and they even performed at that summer's Edgefest. Man, alot of nostalgia in that last sentence, some simpler, better times back then. "Pistons" was Clodhopper's kick off track and it was a rocker. Check out "Dragonfly" and "Mrs. Petrie" as well.

Cock that joint back and bang on 'em!!
