    Toronto +(9-)

    Toronto canned it's GM. This means the coach is staying. This means the players which the fired GM brought in may be looking for a new gig. They will play harder IMO for perspective new bosses and they also know the teams record is not considered the fault of the coach. Indy just clinched in dramatic fashion with their 1st win blowout style against a Buck team they had not beaten all year. They have a big road game at Detroit on deck. Indy was favored by 9 a few weeks back and won SU and ATS. Tonight, after many more SU and ATS wins than Toronto since their last meeting, and playing very good ball, they are only (9-) pt favs here. Toronto has historically done well against Indy and it's time for the 0-2 ATS record this year to maybe even out a bit. As bad as Toronto is and as good as Indy is, in division games, the average scoring for and against each team is only a couple of points apart. These two are familiar with each other and I think O'Neil and his new found job safety will find a way to adjust to Indy's big rebounding advantage. Toronto did shoot over 45% in the last meeting a few weeks back in Indy in the loss. Toronto may like Indy's style better than the run and gun they seen over the last two games. I also think many of the players are happy to be back in the states. The really have no home court advantage, but they also don't experience the big drop off in their stats on the road. They are basically the same.

    Toronto off an upset loss as a fav this year 8-1 ATS. This tells me they get pissed off of games such as their last against GS. Lot of strong trends for Indy here an against Toronto, but Vegas set this line basically the same as the last matchup for some reason. And it hasn't moved.

    GL All

    May play a later game as well.

        Keeping it positive

        Well, in my old age, I'll attempt the silver lining treatment here.

        Toronto just may have played their worst half of the season.

        Scored a deadly 33 points
        Out rebounded by 7
        Rose, Carter, and Peterson 0/5 on 3's, including a nice stretch of three consecutive misses. (I hate that shot:angryfire )
        2 more turnovers
        Donny Marshall with 3 PF's to show for his paycheck tonight

        All that and only down by 12 at half.


        Maybe they'll show up in the second half.
        Put the Scottsman in there at least he'll have some heart.

            I would like to welcome

            HUNGlikeabear, I just found out who this man is, after he has been posting here for some time now. I want you all to know, this man is a class act. He is a good capper and should fit in very nicely at betterschat.
            Again I'd like to say, WELCOME
