--The Raptors are the leading three-point shooting team in the NBA and four players -- Jason Kapono, Jamario Moon, Jose Calderon and Anthony Parker -- are all shooting more than 50 percent from beyond the arc.
--With the loss to Detroit on Wednesday, Toronto failed to start a season with four straight wins for the first time ever. QUOTE TO NOTE: "You're disappointed you lost the basketball game but you see where the game could have just as easily gone the other way. Other than we didn't play well, (and being) disappointed in the loss, it's one of those games where it's hard to put your finger other than Tayshaun and Rip. It's not like our guys didn't try hard, they just outplayed us." -- Coach Sam Mitchell, in a rather convoluted rationalization of Toronto's loss to Detroit.
