Pistons and Raptors in a playoff preview

I love YouTube just because you can find random videos like this that make it look like the 2002 playoff series between the Pistons and Raptors was the second coming of the 1980’s Pistons vs. Celtics. The way things are looking right now, the Pistons and Raptors may renew that playoff…

The Pistons can lock up home court advantage in the NBA Finals (assuming, you know, they get that far) with one win in their final two games. Will it happen against the Timberwolves? You have to figure, but there’s a reason they play the games. I’ll be at the Palace filing pre-game,…
