As unlikely as it seemed back in, say, December, this Raptors-Hawks matchup is now deathly important. All Eastern Conference matchups are important for the Raptors, they should win them all. But this game, with the Raptors in fourth, and the Hawks in fifth, feels just an extra ounce of important. Toronto likes its home court advantage, thank you very much. (And yes, I know we always lose Game 1 at home anyway, gtfo.)
The Hawks are just, kind of, there, man. If we were trying to come up with a franchise identity for them, that would be it.
