why were pacers laying 5 in toronto?

Getting pumped. I guess it was a tactic to get people off the raps. Line really needs an explanation.

Lowry and DeRozan didn't play.

They were basically offering up the game to the Pacers. Indiana just didn't show up. It happens.

I swear nobody looks at google/twitter/the internet. Think about it.....their best players were resting. Or Toronto would be favs

I honestly don't check for info. I just make my plays based on the line. In cases like this I just don't bet the game. One less game to lose.

I don't believe in social media and the new age. It hasn't hurt me this year so far. In the past maybe.

My guess is the pacers decided not to show anything considering this is the first round matchup they want and most likely get.
