I’m not really sure what’s going on, but I think the refs are seeing if there’s a Flagrant on the Pistons, despite Diallo getting the and-1.
Boucher was down in pain and covering his face – 2:11 PM

CoJo jumper, Killian steal and Diallo and-1. Pistons, who looked like they were about to call it a day, have shown some real life again.
Only down by four with Diallo at the line. – 2:09 PM

Also, just tremendous team defense by Livers and Bagley on that OG drive, and great block in transition by Livers to stop a basket. – 1:54 PM

I know it’s only been three games since Wiseman has arrived, but today is a great example of what Detroit’s size can do if development continues. Raps are having a tough time in the paint. And JD isn’t even playing.

Sure, this is the time of day that the Raptors usually practice, but not every player practices like they play. Most don’t. Siakam does. He’s the first guy in the gym every morning, getting in a full workout before noon, and it’s showing today. He carried them in that first half. – 1:09 PM

Scrappy first quarter as you might expect, given the hour. Pistons-Raptors tied at 22 as teams combine to shoot 17/49 and 3/17 from 3. Pace is pretty high and defensive effort not bad either. Some shot-making would be nice. – 12:38 PM

Kings-Clippers, this is not. Tied at 22 after 1Q. Raptors and Pistons are shooting a combined 17-for-49 (35%), including 3-for-17 from 3. Definitely a noon start. – 12:38 PM

END OF 1Q: Pistons 22, Raptors 22.
Jaden Ivey is responsible for 17 of the team’s points. Just some tremendous passing this quarter.

All five Raptors defenders were in front of Ivey before he pushed the ball and finished that layup. Wasn’t a transition bucket, but felt like one because of his speed – 12:20 PM

Pistons lead Raptors 9-8 midway through 1st. Some sleepy basketball so far, teams combined to shoot 7/28. Size and quickness of Stewart and Wiseman giving Raptors some trouble on glass. – 12:19 PM

Been thinking about this a lot lately. What’s the LEAST the Raptors would have to do this season for you to call this season a success? Make the play-in, make the playoffs, push a first round series to 6 or 7 games with some close losses, or make the second round? – 11:56 AM
