Nat,

Your evaluation of this match-up is on the money.

IMO, most Raptors fans are under-estimating the talent level of the players on this year's Pistons team not named Kwame Brown and Charlie Villanueva.

Think I'm going to go to at least one of the games at the Palace this year. Went last year and the Raps got KILLED.

Detroit and Toronto are pretty evenly matched, I think – lots of offensive weapons, but they've got some key guys who don't play great D (Charlie V., Gordon, Wilcox).

I really don”t like the make up of this pistons team. They have huge problems at the 4 and 5. Maxiel has some potential, but potential does not compete with proven tallent. This team loses solid proven veterans in Sheed and McDyess, and adds only Ben Wallace, who is certainly done, and is one of the few NBAers who clearly benifited from steroid use. Even the very worst front courts in the East, (NY, NJ, Miami) will feast on them. There is no reason to believe that the Pistons can defend a healthy Tyson Chandler, or Troy Murphy, or Andrew Bogat, let alone prove consistant all-stars like Jamison or Bosh. I will be surprised to see this team in the playoffs

Tough call.
I don't like the Pistons guard rotation. 2 combo guards and a SG looks like problems to me. Not enough minutes to go around and they may suffer from a lack of a play maker.
Looks like the Pistons are getting credit more on team mystique than actual talent.
For the Pistons to be any good Stuck had better turn into a real PG and last season's bench(ed) big men had better step up.

Raptors are the better deeper team than the Pistons. 4 threats on offense that are gonna be terrible tough to guard… they are have one of the better benches in the game as long as everyone stays healthy and play to their capability. I have been looking forward to this season since the overhaul began. Critics have been referring to last season when they are making predictions for this one. I dont understand it what so ever. Our big 3 may be the same and now it's the big 4 with Turk in there but other than that it's is a completely different team. Go Raps can't wait to see this season unfold

The games are split with two at the palace – never an easy place to play. Charlie V usually plays well against us as well. Looking at all the factors, yes I will stick with my call but would be thrilled if the raps stole one on the road

the raps will surely take at least 2 of 3 from the pistons dont worry about that pistons dont have a game-breaker (unless you call trigger-happy ben gordon one) and rip will put up his regular numbers thats about it.
