Detroit coach Rick Carlisle is already preparing his players for the loud onslaught expected when his team takes the court in Toronto on Saturday, his team searching for a first round sweep.  Raptors fans (just look at the RealGM boards) are some of the most enthusiastic and vocal supporters in the NBA, and with the team striving for their survival expect this game to be no different.

"The game to close out a series is always very difficult," coach Rick Carlisle said Thursday. "I expect them to fight just as hard as they did last night. As well as they played last night, they're certainly capable of playing better. We were very fortunate to win. They controlled the tempo for most of the game."

"They have full houses. Air Canada is one of the loudest buildings in the league now. It's going to be tough conditions to play in, but we're going to have to go in there and play a heck of a game to win."

"We're in a desperate situation right now, and that's how we have to play," Raptors point guard Alvin Williams said.
