Speaking of Cleveland, the game tomorrow might be one of the biggest regular-season games in franchise history: a chance to pull within 2 games of Cleveland and win the season series, setting up the potential to make a run at 1st in the East. Lose the game, and the margin is four games, plus losing the tie-breaker.
But who knows, that post-all-star-break beatdown of Atlanta looked so huge last year, and then the team just folded from that point onward.

The more I think about this, it's pretty much true right? I can't think of a bigger game in Raps regular season history. Not just how big the game is for the standings, but this is clearly the two best teams in the East so it's a big time matchup too. Think Cory Joseph needs to be a big factor tonight.
