Here we go with Game #2.
This will be a fun one!
Toronto Traptors @ Extra Crispy
These are two playoff teams from last season who both took losses in their first game this season. I figure both will be playoff and promotion contenders by the end of the season though. They're coming off a TIE so their enthusiasm should be the exact same. Last season, the two teams split they're two matchups. Ironically they both won by 2 points at the other team's home court. So, does that give the advantage to the away team tomorrow night?
Probably not. Last season they played at equal effort at Extra Crispy's place, and Toronto took it by 2. Then, Extra Crispy used a normal and won by two at Toronto's place. So, you would think that would give the edge to Toronto based on effort.
Maybe.
Toronto just took a very bizarre loss at the hands of the Ozark Tigers. Ozark has not logged in since 1-25, and before that hadn't in even longer. One can assume that the Traptors didn't play their starters, and got bit by that. But still, how can that happen?
So.. after much turmoil I'm going to give the edge to Extra Crispy here. Surely someone can hold homecourt in this series. And with no gameshape or enthusiasm advantage this one's a push. The question is, after starting 0-1, will one of these teams throw out a normal?
Line is at Extra Crispy -2.5
I don't know what to do. I'm going with the home team but only for $50.
