Big news for the pod! This is our last one at the Sonar Network. We’re moving to Raptors Republic and joining the Rapcast!

Some bittersweet news, but yes, we are leaving the Sonar Network to  go to Raptors Republic. We’ve had a fantastic time at Sonar and can’t  say enough good things about them. So many great podcasts on this  network, and Michael and Marianna work their butts off. Freddie will  still be coming at you with Sonar’s The Pickup WNBA podcast, so make sure you subscribe and listen.

RAPTORS: Kyle Lowry returns and gets his tribute. What was your  favourite moment from the return and overall favourite Kyle moment? Do  the Raptors have a Pat Beverley type of player?

NBA: What’s underappreciated in the NBA? What kind of award should such a thing be given?

With Darren Menezes and Yaw Attuah!

Again, thanks so much, Sonar. We love you.

Raptors Republic? Let’s go.

The season is winding down and the playoffs are coming soon. We talking teams we want in the play-in, mid-game honors, players who need rescuing and teams being slept on in the playoffs!

RAPTORS: If the Raps manage to avoid the play in, which team do you want/not want to face? The Canadian men's soccer team was celebrated at the Boston game. Who else would you like to see celebrated at a Raptors game?

NBA: The Thunder shut down Shai again. What other player most needs rescuing from their bad team/bad situation? What playoff/play-in team are people sleeping on?

With Matt Henry and Cathryn Naiker!

We've got good-luck charms, Dragic trades, win-win deadline deals and the most undervalued NBA skill!

RAPTORS: The Raptors starting five has really started to click. Gary has his headband to thank. What is a good-luck charm for the other starters? Doug Smith thinks the Raptors will find a Dragic deal. What is the best deal Masai/Bobby can get?

NBA: What is a win-win deadline deal? What is the most undervalued NBA skill?

With Katie Heindl & Tristan Douglas!

We’re back with more content to tide you over during the COVID isolation. We did a segment asking guests who their favorite Raptor was and we had a blast reminiscing.

Special guests joining us remotely: Jonathan Yam, Randl Morales, Katie Heindl and Brendan Halloran!

We’ve got some bonus content for ya! Freddie on the Flyve is a segment that is exclusively for our Patreon page, but we decided to open it up to everyone during the pandemic and NBA suspension so we can provide as much content as possible for you to pass the time!

Producer Matt calls Freddie and asks him five random questions to elaborate on. Basketball related, world related, and even Flubber related.

We hope everyone is making out okay during this wild and isolating time. This is now our second episode during the COVID-19 crisis and, other than Terrence Davis scarfing down donuts and being reprimanded by Serge, we don’t have much news to tell you on the Raptors’ front.

But we do have so many memories and favourite moments that the Raptors have given us, don’t we? We thought, why not do a segment where we ask around to some of our awesome past guests and see what memories they have that they want to share?

Special guests on this episode include Jess Nicolette,  Thomas Rivas, Paulina Vu,  Your Boy Brian and Cathryn Naiker!

We’re gonna keep dishing out content for you during this weird and scary time and we hope it provides some distraction. Thanks for tuning in!

Hey guys!

We hope you enjoyed Part 01 of our Ultimate Coach rankings. Here’s Part 02, the top 15 coaches in the NBA ranked by us. Don’t skip to the end to see who’s number one. You gotta savour it!

Once again, Kevin Dowse and Matt McCready help us go from rankings 15 all the way to 1. Enjoy and be well! We’ll keep the content coming during this difficult time.

Hey pals. These are some wild times and we hope all of you are safe and managing well during this crisis. The NBA has been suspended and the Raptors are all under quarantine, so we don’t really have much Raptors’ news to talk about other than Serge’s cool quarantine gym or Boucher breaking out for a bit.

But we want to sooth you with some content in any way we can, so we decided to do an Ultimate Coach Ranking segment (active coaches) to give you some fun, juicy content. We went so long that we decided to break the episode into two parts: The bottom 15 and the top 15.

Special guests joining us on the pod this week are former co-host Kevin Dowse and comedian Matt McCready!

Be well, everybody! Stay tuned tomorrow for part 02: the top 15 coaches!

The Raptors had a very successful west-coast trip, going 4-1 and sit with a record of 46-18. We’re starting to think about playoffs, oh boy!

NBA: Worries in the east! Which fan base should be panicking the most between the Celtics, Pacers and Bucks? Has LBJ closed the gap on the MVP race? Who is a non-Raptor player you are rooting for this year? Quickish Questions and more!

Special guests on this episode: That’s a Rap Podcast’s Jason Leung and Talking Terry’s Paul Beer!

The Raptors are sitting in 2nd in the east with a 42-18 record, but are in the midst of a three-game losing streak. Not panicked but we are a little worried with how this could affect playoff matchups.

RAPS: We talk concerns in relation to the losing streak, thoughts on OG’s career night and predict the week ahead for the Raptors.

NBA: Jokic is a remarkable passer, Zion is a ridiculous jumper etc. Who has a super skill that no one talks about? Zion VS LBJ was fun. What’s your favourite playoff matchup in the NBA that we’re hoping happen? Besides the Raptors, we talk who we’re watching in the standings. Quickish Questions and more!

Special guests on this ep: Dan Galea and Alexey Ots!

We've got zone talk, deadline moves to make, NFTs and Top Shot and the best role player!

RAPTORS: The Raptors are .500 and it's halfway through the season. As the league starts to scout the squad more, it seems like "zoning the Raptors" is going to happen a lot. What is the in-house, long-term solution to teams zoning us? What should the team do a the trade deadline?

NBA: NFT's and Top Shot are still here! If you had to create an NFT, what would it be? (See episode artwork). Who is the best role player in the league?

We talk which number stats we’re watching through the year. (A certain players 3 point %, team rebounding %, turnovers, etc.) Is Powell’s play the new “norm”?

The 15-4 Raps are still undefeated at home (9-0). With Miami, Houston and Philly coming up, they have a huge opportunity to turn some heads a full lap.

The 7-3 Raps just got through one of the hardest back-to-backs, beating the Lakers and losing a tough one to Kawhi and the Clippers.

We got that tight-rotation talk, what to do with Boucher, monster highlights and non-Raps teams we're watching the most!

RAPTORS: Nurse played seven guys and Spo played nine and I'm getting Raptors V Boston in-the-bubble flashbacks. How you feeling about Nick's tight rotations? Does Boucher have more value as a rotation piece or a trade asset?

It’s that time of year again. Sports Illustrated has released their top 100 NBA’ers and we of course have some feelings about how our Raptors have made the list (or didn’t make the list! Shoutout to FVV). What was Masai’s worst move as GM/President? Why won’t Danny Green leave Canada and go home to L.A.?

Raptors are turning heads, Devin Booker is shaming the Raptor, Klay is back and shocking losing teams!

Raptors: Lowe is starting to get excited by the freaky-long Raptors. Is the Masai/Bobby gamble to not have a traditional centre working? Devin Booker couldn't handle The Raptor mascot distracting him. Hopefully the Raptors fight this injustice and double down on distracting players from now on. What are some good ideas to distract players while they take free throws?

NBA: Klay Thompson is back and it was really nice. What's another heartfelt return (doesn't have to be in sports) that comes to mind? What's the most shocking team with a losing record?

Will he stay, will he go? We finally got our answer: Kawhi is joining the Clippers… We discuss our feelings about losing Kawhi (and Danny), what is the plan now? What’s Masai’s next presser gonna be like? What are we getting with the new signings of Thomas, Jefferson and Johnson? With the west now at an incredible parity because of Kawhi, who’s coming out of there with home court?

Quickish Questions, we’re cleansing ourselves and tossing some sound bites into Matt’s backyard sinkhole, lots of good NBA talk on this one throughout the whole ep!

Special guests: Ian Gordon and Derick Deonarain!

Helicopters are touching down for a rest tonight, but we got some hot #KawhiWatch takes for ya. Are we having fun???

Special guests on this episode: Simon Ho, Jess Nicolette, Yaw Attuah, Alex Stephenson, Jonathan Yam and Alex Wood!

Our friend Mark Baker was trampled at the victory parade and tore his achilles. Please donate a couple bucks to his GoFundMe if you can!

A tough, weird, emotional loss in game 05 has the Raptors heading back to Oakland with a 3-2 lead in the series. They could win it all tonight!!

Raptors are tied 1-1 in the NBA FINALS!!

RAPS: We are going to need everyone and everything to win this series. Kawhi’s buying houses and suing Nike– He’s staying! Which tier do we need more from to win: Tier 1 (Kawhi), Tier 2 (Kyle, Pascal & Marc) or Tier 3 (Serge, Danny & Fred)? There are so many new Raptors fans because of the finals. What tips or clarifications would you tell them? The Warriors overcoming despite injury seems to be the narrative that’s forming this finals. What does Nick Nurse do to change that? Should he try to surprise Steve Kerr?

RAPS: Balance scoring, scorching defence, blood and big dunks. What was the best moment of that game last night? Kawhi’s greatness: How should Raptors’ fans contextualize what they are seeing? How great is this? Nurse making moves! Playing Serge big minutes seemed to have turned the series. What can Philly do to counter our big lineups?

NBA: Is this the most wide open the playoffs have ever been or are the Warriors’ struggle a mirage? Is Denver the most underrated team in the NBA? Is Boston done? What should Danny Ainge do if they go out in 5?

NBA: Bucks VS Celtics. Who you got? What did the Dame Shot mean for Portland/OKC? Houston, G-State, we got some round two speculations and opinions! We’ve got some sad and sick former Raptors, Hootie and the Blowfish cameos, Hunger Games cannons be banging and a hot Quickish Questions segment.

Special guests on this episode: Jess Nicolette and Miguel Rivas!

The Raptors RESPONDED in Game 02 and we are tied 1-1 with the Orlando Magic.

RAPS: Is that the most impressive playoff performance ever from a Raptor? We talk favourite Kawhi moments in game 02. A tight loss then a historic blowout win: Is your faith restored and what’s the key to winning the series? Who has been the biggest disappointment for the Raptors so far?

NBA: What’s a bigger blow to the Warriors, losing Boogie for the playoffs or getting embarrassed at home in round 01?
