Another game taken by Toronto

Natalie Sitto — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 23:47:12 +0000

Despite having their team at full strength for the first time all season, the Pistons suffered a 95-102 loss to the Raptors Sunday afternoon in the Toronto. Rip Hamilton and Ben Gordon each scored 15 points as the losing streak goes to seven games.

Key Points:

Losing aside, it was nice to get Ben, Rip and Tayshaun back. Because of the suspensions to Daye and Jerebko on opening night, this was actually the first game all season long at full strength.
Pistons started this one strong in the first few minutes of the game, but Toronto slowly pulled away leading by as much as 20.
Fantastic third quarter where the Pistons outscored the Raps 28-13 to give them a chance in the second half.
The Pistons still winning the board wars (40-36), and still not winning games.
Huge game from Chris Bosh a 16 rebound 25 point double-double in 38 minutes.
Chucky Atkins deactivated and the box score listed DaJuan Summers with a strained left knee.
The thing that the Pistons have been hanging their hat on has seemed to disappeared in the past few games. It’s not just the pick and roll defense that’s suffering either.
After being out 8 weeks with a back injury, Tayshaun Prince looked pretty good. Prince scored 9 on 4-for-8 shooting with 3 boards and 3 assists in 26 minutes.

Gordon looked a bit rusty to start, but caught his groove in the second half finishing with 15 on 4-for-15 shooting with 5 boards. I’m guessing he’s back to his usual self by Tuesday.

“We had our chances tonight,” Gordon said. “With all the injuries and guys coming back, I still thought we had a chance to win the game. We just didn’t convert on plays that we needed to.” Via The Detroit News

Five Pistons in double figures.
A decent 40% shooting percentage compared to the twenty something they put up last time against Toronto. However the thing that may have done the Pistons in was it’s 33% shooting in the third quarter while allowing the Raps to shoot 62%.
With BG, Tay and Rip back and “The Swede” starting at PF I was surprised the Pistons didn’t rest Charlie Villanueva. Charlie scored 8 on 2-for-7 shooting with 2 boards, a blocked shot and 4 turnovers.
The Raptors really have the Pistons number this season. This may be one of the best Raptors teams I can remember in quite some time.
The Pistons seem to have trouble getting to the line lately they were 23-for-33, while Toronto was 32-for44.
Rodney Stuckey’s high…..high glasser had to be the shot of the night, this thing bounced off the top of the backboard and fell right in.

Rodney scored 13 on 5-for14 shooting with 8 boards, 5 assists and a steal. Solid all around game for Rodney.
Detroit trailed 74-69 after three thanks to a (as Blaha said) a “man sized third quarter” from Jonas Jerebko. Prince got the Pistons to within 85-84 on a turnaround jumper with 5:47 left in the fourth, but that’s as close as it got.
Just 9 turnovers for Detroit.
A Bynumite ankle breaker.
Will Bynum finished with just 4 points, 2 boards and an assist in just 14 minutes on the floor.
Clearly Jonas Jerebko was the player of the game, enormous hustle all game long and dunks and consecutive three pointers in the third to get the Pistons back in the game.

Need4Swede, despite the return of Prince in the starting lineup, started the game at PF. Jonas finished the game with 14 points with 7 boards, 2 steals and a block shot before fouling out on a bogus call in the fourth quarter. I hate to say it, but had Jonas not been called for that last shot, thing may have ended just a bit different.
Rip, Ben and Tay back but Jonas was the difference maker.
Happy to see Chris Wilcox being the guy I thought he was going to be when he got to Detroit. Six quick points in 12 minutes with 2 boards and a blocked shot. That’s nice production in short minutes.
Highlights of the game via NBA.com
Can they get things together for their next game at home against the Knicks? My guess it that the losing streak ends Tuesday.
Apologizing it was a long time coming, but Mr. Atkins is not tooned. I also have a bit of a surprise with a couple new additions to the header of the site.
