This "playoff thing" is a new experience for Toronto and it showed on the road where they just weren't competitive. They began the series at home, proceeding to fall down by 10 at the half before finding their comfort zone. They managed to win the second half, but just couldn't make up the deficit in game one. They did win game two at home but then went to New Jersey and got blown out of the building in consecutive games. While everyone's on the NJ bandwagon now (especially after a 21 point blowout), we believe it will be a different story at home tonight. The Raptors were 30-11 here in the regular season and certainly after the opening night playoff jitters, have settled down to out-play New jersey, as they should in their own building. Chris Bosh was woeful on the road, scoring just 12 ppg, but outstanding at home (23.5 ppg). Look for Toronto to show why they were so dominant at home. Look for them to atone for two extremely embarrassing defeats and win this one comfortably as they are 17-5 ATS this season revenging a double-digit loss.
