  • Toronto Raptors fall to Detroit Pistons on Jaden Ivey buzzer beater; Scottie Barnes & offensive rebounds can't save them

    Toronto Raptors fall to Detroit Pistons on Jaden Ivey buzzer beater; Scottie Barnes & offensive rebounds can't save them
    Nov 26 2024
    The Toronto Raptors fell 102-100 to the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, with Jaden Ivey hitting a buzzer-beating game-winner to undo a great performance by Scottie Barnes and the Raptors' second unit. In Episode 1756, Sean Woodley goes solo to recap the loss to the Pistons, discuss why offensive rebounds were not enough to save the Raptors' offense on a night where the absence of Gradey Dick was really felt, how Barnes fared in a 31-14-7 effort, porous transition defense and more. Off the top, Sean dives into how the Raptors' failed to make it work on offense without Dick, the bench's offensive rebounding party and how the late-game offense dried up as the o-boards dwindled. Next, Sean gets into Scottie Barnes looking like the player we all want him to be, giving the Raptors' all he had on the offensive end considering the difficult spacing context he was operating within. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Jamison Battle, not just a shooter!!), The Bad (crunch time transition defense) and The Hmmm (Darko Rajakovic's comments on Ochai Agbaji's play after the game) to close out the show.

  • Toronto Raptors fall to Cleveland Cavaliers; Guard play disparity, Jonathan Mogbo thrills & more w/ Vivek Jacob

    Toronto Raptors fall to Cleveland Cavaliers; Guard play disparity, Jonathan Mogbo thrills & more w/ Vivek Jacob
    Nov 25 2024
    The Toronto Raptors dropped the first game of a four-game road trip on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, 122-108, as Cleveland's lead guard trio of Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland and Ty Jerome too much for the Raptors to hang with. In Episode 1755, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about the Toronto Raptors' 122-108 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night, why guard play was the story of the night going both ways, how the Raptors can change the dynamic in the matchup with Cleveland, Jonathan Mogbo, Jonathan Mogbo and more Jonathan Mogbo. Off the top, they get into how the Raptors starting lineup, armed with no traditional lead guards, got outgunned by the Cavs' three-headed guard monster, why the Raptors lost this game in the half court, and the early returns on the Scottie Barnes-RJ Barrett-Gradey Dick-Ochai Agbaji-Jakob Poeltl starting five. Next, Sean and Vivek chat about why small ball might be the Raptors' counter to a Cavs team that gives tem all kinds of matchup trouble, with the stretches of Scottie Barnes and Jonathan Mogbo working in the front court together serving as a good test case for the theory. Lastly, they run through The Good (Mogbo Mania), The Bad (Gradey Dick's calf issue, Toronto's terrible start) and The Hmmm (the flashes of Mogbo's scoring, RJ-Scottie & bench lineups) to close out the show.

  • Scottie Barnes returns, RJ Barrett drops 31, Toronto Raptors topple Wolves 110-105

    Scottie Barnes returns, RJ Barrett drops 31, Toronto Raptors topple Wolves 110-105
    Nov 22 2024
    Scottie Barnes returned to the lineup and the Toronto Raptors took down Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert and the Minnesota Timberwolves 110-105 to earn their second straight win and move to 4-12 on the season. In Episode 1754, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Raptors win, share some thoughts on the blissful stage this team is at in its life cycle, discuss Scottie Barnes' return to the lineup, the power of functional depth, Jonathan Mogbo playing beyond his years and much more! Off the top, Sean digs into why this team is a win-win enterprise right now, with wins and losses provided equal reason for optimism. His advice: enjoy the ride. Then, Sean talks about what he noticed from Barnes' return, his whip-smart defense, and how he makes life easier for everyone else. Next, Sean talks about the Raptors' new starting five of Barnes, RJ Barrett, Ochai Agbaji, Gradey Dick and Jakob Poeltl, why better runs than they had last night lie ahead, and how Davion Mitchell and Chris Boucher are now better equipped to succeed in their roles. Having lots of useful players doing things they're capable of: it's great! Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Jonathan Mogbo), The Bad (transition offense) and The Hmmmm (the defense slowly creeping up the charts) to round out the show.

  • Would you rather be the Raptors or Sixers for the next 5 years? w/ Trill Bro Dude

    Would you rather be the Raptors or Sixers for the next 5 years? w/ Trill Bro Dude
    Nov 21 2024
    Who would you rather be for the next 5 years: the 3-12 rebuilding Toronto Raptors, or the 2-12, should-be contending Philadelphia 76ers? In Episode 1753, Sean Woodley is joined by Trill Bro Dude (You Know Ball) to talk about the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers, buddies at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, who are there for very different reasons. Off the top, Sean and Trill get into the Sixers' struggles and life under Nick Nurse for Sixers fans, and why it's maybe already resembling the last couple years of Nurse's time in Toronto. Next, they chat about whether the Raptors or Sixers are better set up for the next five years. For the Sixers, the argument is obvious, they have Joel Embiid, who while maybe in physical decline is still the best player between either team, and Tyrese Maxey, who's already a borderline All-NBA guard despite a rough start to this season. The Raptors meanwhile boast youth, growing functional depth and some avenues to acquiring an Embiid-level stud in the draft, or through the development of Scottie Barnes, maybe. Lastly, they chat about Trill's read on Immanuel Quickley and why he's higher on IQ than consensus, before digging into the enigma that is RJ Barrett. Is he as good as he looks on his best nights? And how does he fit into the mix once the Raptors start to get healthier and, eventually, as they look to make the jump into being competitive.

  • What's More Likely?! Jakob Poeltl trade or extension? Raptors over Sixers or Bucks? And more! w/ Hot Take Heindl

    What's More Likely?! Jakob Poeltl trade or extension? Raptors over Sixers or Bucks? And more! w/ Hot Take Heindl
    Nov 20 2024
    Jakob Poeltl is incredibly important to the Toronto Raptors -- is he too important to trade despite where the Raptors find themselves in the standings? In Episode 1752, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Locked On NBA Newsletters, Basketball Feelings) to play a few rounds of 'What's More Likely?', with questions about Jakob Poeltl's future in Toronto, where the Raptors stack up next to a pair of struggling presumed contenders in the Eastern Conference, and which vastly improved Raptors wing is in line to start more games from here on out. Off the top, they chat about whether it's more likely that the Raptors trade surging big man Jakob Poeltl before the deadline, or extend him and keep him around deep into his thirties. Next, they discuss whether it's more like that the Philadelphia 76ers or the Milwaukee Bucks finish behind Toronto in the standings by season's end. Lastly, a brand new character named Hot Take Heindl appears on the show to debate whether it's more likely that the Gradey Dick or Ochai Agbaji starts more games between now and the end of the season.

  • RJ Barrett closes out the Pacers as Jakob Poeltl's heater continues, Raptors improve to 3-12 w/ Vivek Jaob

    RJ Barrett closes out the Pacers as Jakob Poeltl's heater continues, Raptors improve to 3-12 w/ Vivek Jaob
    Nov 19 2024
    The Toronto Raptors moved to 3-12 with a win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday night on the back of RJ Barrett's 39-point, 9-rebound, 5-assist masterpiece and Jakob Poeltl's 30-point, 16-rebound effort to continue his recent hot streak. In Episode 1751, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about the Raptors win over the Pacers, how RJ Barrett closed it out when thing started to get hairy, Jak's recent run, Garrett Temple, the Pacers laying an egg and more. Off the top, they chat about Barrett, who closed things out as it got a bit hairy for the Raptors in the fourth. Where does he and his newfound craft as a pick-and-roll playmaker fit into the team once Scottie Barnes get healthy? Next, they chat about Jakob Poeltl going nuts once again, posting 30-15-2-2-2 on 13-of-18 shooting to continue his absolute heater over his last three games. Plus, where does Jak rank so far among centers in the Eastern Conference? Lastly, Sean and Vivek run through The Good (Garrett Temple turning the tide, a hilariously busted first quarter possession), The Bad (Jamal Shead, maybe the Pacers?) and The Hmmm (What can we get Scottie to wear next? Jak or RJ for All-Star?) to round out the show.

  • Raptors continue to leave it all on the floor, but drop heartbreakers to Celtics & Pistons | Is the defense on the rise?

    Raptors continue to leave it all on the floor, but drop heartbreakers to Celtics & Pistons | Is the defense on the rise?
    Nov 18 2024
    The Toronto Raptors fell to the Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics in a pair of heartbreakers over the weekend, made all the more heartbreaking by the fact that the shorthanded Raptors are leaving everything they can on the floor right now with Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and more out of the lineup. In Episode 1750, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down how the Raptors kept touch against both the Pistons and Celtics, and why their best efforts were ultimately undone by the razor thin margins they're operating with before a look at the Raptors' steady improvements on the defensive end, RJ Barrett's masterful work as a pick-and-roll playmaker and more. Off the top, Sean digs into the Raptors doing all the right things against Boston and Detroit, from their late-game execution, to the performances of Jakob Poeltl, RJ Barrett and a very exhausted Gradey Dick, only to fall short the way undertalented teams often do. Next, Sean examines the incremental steps the Raptors' defense is taking as a unit, and some of the individual performances helping them level up from league-worst disaster to run-of-the-mill bad, bordering on average. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl crushing in the pick-and-roll), The Bad (Bruno Fernando's ankle sprain further straining the Raptors' already strained rotation) and The Hmmmm (did the Raptors just outline the blueprint for toppling the Celtics' ruthless math ball?) to close out the show.

  • Toxic Positivity Friday! Only up from here; The Kansas Boys rock & more! w/ Katie Heindl

    Toxic Positivity Friday! Only up from here; The Kansas Boys rock & more! w/ Katie Heindl
    Nov 15 2024

    The Toronto Raptors have lost five games in a row, are a bottom-3 defensive team, and are still missing Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, Kelly Olynyk, Bruce Brown and Ja'Kobe Walter due to injury -- but that's OK! In Episode 1749, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Locked On NBA Newsletters, Basketball Feelings) for another round of Toxic Positivity Friday on the show, where we put up the blinders to all that bad going on with the team to focus only on the good stuff. They start off by chatting about the hopefulness of things (probably) only looking up from here, as the Raptors' season as started about as roughly as you could have possibly foreseen between the rash of injuries and the 2-10 start against a challenging schedule. Sure things are bad. But they could be the Pelicans! Next, Sean and Katie examine the excellent play of Ochai Agbaji and Gradey Dick, the two bright spots of the season so far. Will their lights out play sustain once the rest of the team's health is restored? Lastly, Sean and Katie get hype for the NBA Cup coming to Toronto on Friday for a game against the Pistons set to be contested on a beautifully purple court.
