The Raps are the darlings of the NBA media world on this Monday, as they beat down the Lakers and Hawks as bad as Bama took down the Gators last Saturday afternoon. In power rankings around the web, USA Today and CBS Sports have the Raps at fifth. (One spot behind the Cavs, which they can change tonight). Fifth is a respectable spot but things get better.
JEREMY WOO OF SPORTS ILLUSTRATED AND MARC STEIN (THA GAWD) OF ESPN GOT US AT TWO.
Don’t wanna throw out hyperbole here but tonight’s game is just the biggest regular season contest in franchise history.
