Toronto has taken steps to get to the point where they are now expected to not only cover, but win the game outright, and i am on board. Toronto had one of the best home victory margins in the NBA this season. I think that this one will get ugly sometime in the 3rd quarter. Will explain later in better detail.
Toronto minus the chalk

TORONTO CAN SHOOT THE 3 POINTER VERY WELL AT HOME, BUT YOU FORGET ABOUT THE X FACTOR DWIGHT HOWARD. HOWARD HAS BEEN AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE IN THIS SERIES SO FAR AND HE WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

Take the Raps here. Magic won't feel at home up north and the Raps will be coming out firing on all cylinders. Raps take this one easy as D-12 shoots under 50% from the FT line.

at merely a minus 4, this may be my favorite game. Toronto blows people out at home, everyone is underestimating them, and they made a huge run at that last game and even had a chance to win. Don't underestimate TOR right here. Orlando has a way of collapsing in the playoffs, and while I think they'll win the series, TOR will get a chance to embarass them in at least one if not both games. Howard is the only big man with any big man game for the magic and it's not like they outsize toronto that badly either, with 6'11" bosh, 7'0"ers bargnani and nesterovich all potentially on the court at the same time, a little home cookin' should get them smelling a little more paint and touching the boards. TOR handled the magic by double digits last time they played in toronto, I'm saying it happens again here.
TOR -4 maybe over

Toronto has played like crap in the 1st quarter only in this series. Aside from the slow start, they've actually outplayed the Magic in those 2 games they've lost. I don't think they'll come out sluggish at home... the ACC will be rockin tonight. Raps -chalk.

All aboard the Rap train tonight.

damn... dewight howard is starting to look like shaq back when he was playing with orlando....however i see a couple of trends starting to form.....
game 1 (TOR +7 196) result was ORL winning 114-100
game 2 (TOR +6.5 200) result was ORL winning 104-103
game 3 TOR -4 202 ????????????
as u can see the momentum has shifted toronto's way from game 1 to game 2 as they get closer and closer to winning....even the spread went toronto's way from game 1 to game 2.....if u look at the total score from game 1 to game 2....u can see the score went from 214 to 207...while the spread went up from 196(game1) to 200(g.2) to 202(game 3).....the totals are going up while the score is getting lower.....dont make any sense ......especially when u got the same teams playing each other in their 3rd game in five days.....i been saying that these 2 teams are similar....so its like putting 2 similar boxers inna ring for their third rematch.....whats gone happen is defenses will tighten up becuz they are more famillier with each other......with the momentum in torontos corner as well as playing at home....i like toronto and under.....besides they cant afford to go down 0-3

Well the public won big yesterday going 3-0 and the faves covering the spread by an average of 7 pts!! I like Orlando here to keep it close the whole game and cover. 98% of the public on the Magic ML at +160 but I like the 4 pts. Orlando will bounce back from last game and Howard will have 25+ pts.
Orlando-96

Earlier this year I disrespected you and CK.....It was really all just "funnin" but you both took it negatively as you should have.....At the time I thought CK was being awfully arrogant.....In retrospect he was being awfully confident.....
So I'm asking you to accept my apologies and express that I am "duely impressed".....
The key to handicapping is taking the emotion out of the equation and striving to be 100% analytical and throwing logic out the window...I can't do that consistently....Taking emotion out takes extreme discipline....You've done that and that's why you're so good....

TOR plays well at home and there's going to be a line-up change for TOR. Kapono (4/6 3pt) for
Nesterovic & Calderon (3/5 3pt) for Ford.
Last game Lewis was 0-9 (3pt) and Turkoglu was 0-4 (3pt) and ORL still scored 104 pts. They've got to shoot better than that this game. Both teams love to shoot up the 3 and with TOR's line-up change it's going to be the first one to 100 wins.
IMO I see an up-tempo game with tons of 3s. Neither team plays defense all that well so defense tightening up will not be a factor. Last time at home Bosh scored 40 against ORL. They
crushed ORL and the total soared over. Don't see any reason why the same doesn't happen again tonight.
TOR -4, over 202

After looking at the numbers of the money trail, there is no way that this line doesn't go back down to the opening line of 3.5 or 3. Which it is funny that the line went up to 4 with 61% of bettors on the spread, and 98% on the moneyline with Orlando's side of things. Meanwhile the -4 is being offered at -105. I'm gonna wait this one out and make my move at 4:15 pst, looking for a late break in the spread for Toronto bringing the line down a bit!

The total has been over in the first two games of this playoff series and is also 5-1 in the last six meetings between these two teams and 4-1 in the last five when Toronto hosts Orlando. In addition, the over is 7-1 in Orlando’s last eight first-round playoff games, 4-0 in Toronto’s last four first-round games and 5-1 for the Raptors against winning teams.
I have 3 units on this play.
Best of Luck to Everybody!

Orlando +4 this is a spread you need to jump all over. Orlando feels embarrassed by almost losing the second game at home. I think they come out strong on the road and win the third game..

No, LOL! Close though. I majored in Sociology (which is a type of science), and I am office manager at a Multiple Sclerosis Society Non Profit foundation, so i am around a lot of scientists, and spectacular fund raisers!
