Good win tonight, but still concerned that the energy level drops on occassion within games even with the starters in there. As Dumars4e stated, the Pistons closed out the first three quarters in a listless fashion surrending big leads.

For the Raptors, Andrea Bargnani who scored 25 points vs the Pistons just 11 days ago was MIA tonight scoring 0!!! The 2nd qtr belong to Delfino, just as the third qtr belong Rip..

Rip was on fire tonight socring 39 and was 16-22 including a blistering 5-6 from downtown as Marv Albert would say and only 2-3 fron the line. To put it in perspective, Labron scored 51 tonight on 18-28 shooting, including 6/12 from beyond the arc and 9/16 FT. To go even further, Kobe scored 48 pts on 21-44 shooting, 2/8 from the three and 4-7 at the line. Granted the games by Kobe and Labron were overtime affairs but I would say that Rip has proven that he is the pure shooter of the bunch, but guess which two of the three are being mentioned as perrenial MVP candidates everyyear??
