| Do the Toronto Raptors have the ingredients to make a big defensive improvement this season? | 03 Oct 2024 | 00:34:27 | |
The Toronto Raptors are making defensive improvement a focus of this season, but do they have the ingredients on hand to put together a good NBA defense? In Episode 1719, Sean Woodley goes solo to take a look at the defensive building blocks the Raptors have on hand, the schemes they can run to optimize their strength and mitigate their weaknesses, and the role internal developement and ratcheted up effort will play in the Raptors' attempt to build a passable defense this season. Off the top, Sean dives into why Jakob Poeltl gives the Raptors a strong baseline for a competent defense, and how guys like Scottie Barnes and Davion Mitchell bring some much neede defensive talent to the table. Next, Sean digs into the statisical profiles of last year's Top-10 defensive teams to try and identify what makes a great defense. Apart from talent and size, having "A Thing" to hang your hat on seems to be a solid way to make your defensive metrics pop. Lastly, Sean takes a look at the role internal development for guys like Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley will play in the Raptors attempt to improve upon last year's 27th-ranked defense, and why buy-in and effort -- something Darko Rajakovic already has some history of getting out of his team -- are huge parts of the equation as well.

The Toronto Raptors aren't going to be any great shakes this year, but they'll surely be better than the depressing Chicago Bulls, right?

| Jamal Shead looks NBA-ready, RJ Barrett explodes as Raptors blow out Wizards in preseason opener | 07 Oct 2024 | 00:32:14 | |
Toronto Raptors Jamal Shead looked ready for the big show, while Mississauga's own RJ Barrett picked up where he left off last season and with Team Canada in the summer as the Raptors handled the Washington Wizards 125-98 to open up the preseason in Montreal on Sunday night. In Episode 1721, Sean Woodley goes solo to recap the Raptors' return to the floor. Off the top, Sean digs into Jamal Shead being the scene-stealer of the preseason opener, with his tenacious on-ball defense, pick-and-roll playmaking and interior scoring all making him look the part of a guy who should be considered for real NBA run to begin the season. Next, Sean rattles off nine takeaways on nine players who chipped into the win over Washington, including a RJ Barrett's brilliant 14 minutes of action before a shoulder contusion knocked him out for the second half, though hopefully for not much longer. Plus, thoughts on Jonathan Mogbo, Gradey Dick, Kelly Olynyk, Ochai Agbaji, Davion Mitchell, Bruno Fernando, DJ Carton and Ulrich Chomche's performances. Lastly, it's the return of The Good (Chris Boucher, sage vet with something still to offer), The Bad (The Washington Wizards), and The Hmmmm (Jamison Battle, and the competition for the final roster spot on the team).

| How scary is the Toronto Raptors' early-season schedule? w/ Vivek Jacob | 08 Oct 2024 | 00:35:03 | |
How much will the Toronto Raptors difficult start to the schedule affect the course of the year to come? In Episode 1722, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about a grab bag of Toronto Raptors-related topics as training camp presses on, including how much the difficult schedule will or will not affect the course of this season, realistic expectations for rookie guard Jamal Shead, and their first impressions of the Raptors' aggressive defense. Off the top, Sean and Vivek talk about the schedule, whether the difficulty of it matters much to the big picture of the Raptors' season, and why Sean actually thinks it's a good team for this team to get tested early as they're trying to lay down a standard. Next, Sean and Vivek discuss Jamal Shead, what he can realistically do for the Raptors this season, and whether he'll play the majority of the season with the Raptors or Raptors 905 in the G-League. Lastly, they chat through their initial takeaways from the Raptors' defense in the preseason opener, where guys like RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley figure to fit into it, and much more!

| Raptors or Hornets? Scottie Barnes or LaMelo Ball? WHO YA GOT?! w/ Walker Mehl of Locked On Hornets | 10 Oct 2024 | 00:30:22 | |
Are the Toronto Raptors or Charlotte Hornets better set up to snag the final Eastern Conference play-in spot? In Episode 1724, Sean Woodley and Walker Mehl of Locked On Hornets link up for a crossover episode digging into the Raptors and Hornets' outlook for this season, compare both team's stars in Scottie Barnes and LaMelo Ball, size up both team's supporting casts and project which team is most likely to win the most important race in the NBA this year: the race for the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference. Off the top, Sean and Walker talk about Scottie and LaMelo, who has the better chance to lead their team to winning minutes this season, and why both guys have something to prove -- albeit in very different ways -- this season. Next, they compare and contrast the two supporting casts, talk about why the Raptors' starting five has a chance to be very good if healthy, and why the depth probably favours the Hornets in the event injuries befall either team. Lastly, they talk about each team's ambitions for the season, and why the Hornets might have the inside track on 10th purely because they seem to want it more.

| RJ Barrett has a sprained AC joint; the prognosis, and who replaces him in the starting five? | 09 Oct 2024 | 00:32:05 | |
The Toronto Raptors announced on Tuesday that RJ Barrett is out for the rest of the preseason with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder; how much time is he likely to miss, and who should see an uptick in minutes with Barrett out the lineup? In Episode 1723, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down what Barrett's injury means for the Raptors, when we can expect to see Barrett return to the lineup, who will fill in his place in the Raptors' starting five if he can't return for the start of the season, and which guys on the Raptors roster stand to gain (or lose) the most from the opportunity provided by Barrett's absence. Off the top, Sean details the wide range of potential outcomes for Barrett's AC sprain, which is the same injury that rookie Ja'Kobe Walter is also dealing with. The most optmisitic timeline could see him return in time for the season opener on October 23rd, but there's a worst case scenario where he misses up to six weeks, according to some of the more trusted injury experts out there on basketball internet. But all is not lost, as Sean details why Barrett, of the Raptors' core four players, is the one the Raptors can probably most capably survive without for a short stretch of time. Next, Sean digs into the cases for Ochai Agbaji, Davion Mitchell and Kelly Olynyk take on the fifth starting spot with Barrett sidelines. And lastly, Sean ranks the top-5 players with something to gain (or lose) with a good (or bad) run of play while Barrett, Walter and Bruce Brown remain sidelined. Can Ochai Agbaji carve out a season-long rotation job? What will happen to Gradey Dick's usage with no Barrett to finish plays? And what about the chances sure to be afforded to Jamal Shead, Chris Boucher and DJ Carton?

| As Scottie Barnes embarks on Year 4 with the Raptors, his shot creation is the thing to watch | 11 Oct 2024 | 00:34:19 | |
Scottie Barnes has the keys to the Toronto Raptors now, shot creation is the single most important area of development to watch with him this season as he attempts to ascend the ranks and be considered one of the league's true foundational players. In Episode 1725, Sean Woodley digs into what's at stake for Scottie as a shot creator entering year four and why he is set up to have success as a pick-and-roll creator on this edition of the team before fielding some listener questions. Off the top, Sean discusses the latest from Raptors practice on Thursday before diving into why Barnes' shot creation is set to come into focus this year. Does he have the goods as the leading man in a productive NBA offense? How will Darko Rajakovic's system, and the existence of Immanuel Quickley help foster his development and ease his burden as a leading man? And what kinds of playtypes can Barnes most lean into as the engine of the Raptors' attack? Then, Sean opens up to mailbag and discusses the way the Raptors have built the team around Barnes, and why he's set up to have success as a pick-and-roll ball handler on this team more than he has been in the past. Plus, answers to questions about bench player Voltrons, Jonathan Mogbo's relationship with Barnes, affordability and fandom and choosing one Raptor to fit a free-throw with the fate of the universe on the line.

| Raptors hang on to win preseason thriller vs. Celtics | Barnes-Dick-Poeltl trio crushes & hope for the bench? | 16 Oct 2024 | 00:32:45 | |
The Toronto Raptors hung on for a thrilling 119-118 preseason victory over the defending champion Boston Celtics on Tuesday night as the trio of Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl and Gradey Dick absolutely kicked butt. In Episosde 1727, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to the most entertaining Raptors preseason game to date, dig into why he's growing increasingly optimistic about the Raptors' starters being extremely good once Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett rejoin the team, the encouraging efforts of Davion Mitchell and Ochai Agbaji, and the Good, Bad & Hmmmm from Tuesday's action. Off the top, Sean gets into the gorgeous fit between Barnes, Poeltl and Dick, why Barnes' forceful aggression en route to 26-9-10 is the recipe for this Raptors to team to overachieve if he can sustain it, Poeltl being a master of space, and Dick's impressive 27-point effort that showed off his versatile scoring package. Next, Sean talks about the efforts of Mitchell (9 points, 3 threes, 10 assists), and Agbaji (16-5-3 on 7/11 shooting) as they each turned in their best games of the preseason. Is there a world in which the Raptors bench is merely mid and not terrible? Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (a thrilling preseason game!), The Bad (Jonathan Mogbo's putback dunk in the second quarter getting called back) and The Hmmmmm (the Raptors' staggeringly strange rebounding profile in the preseason).

| Raptors drop a pair of preseason tilts to Wizards & Celtics; Scottie Barnes' debuts & position battles w/ Vivek Jacob | 15 Oct 2024 | 00:39:02 | |
The Toronto Raptors dropped a pair of preseason games over the Thanksgiving long weekend to the Washington Wizards and Boston Celtics, and they very much looked like preseason basketball games, though we did get to see our first glimpse of Scottie Barnes since March, which was nice! In Episode 1726, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to react to the two preseason losses, discuss Scottie Barnes' play in his first couple games back on the floor, break down the ongoing position battles in camp and run through The Good, The Bad & The Hmmm from the games against Washington and Boston. Off the top, they talk about how the preseason is way too long, Scottie Barnes working the mid-range, and whether the early preseason results have changed how they view this team going into the season. Next, they check in on the position battles still going on throughout the roster. Is Gradey Dick still going to start? Who is the backup five? Is Davion Mitchell still going to get the keys to the second unit as the backup point guard? And who will earn the 15th spot and maybe claim one of the two-way spots should the Raptors move on from someone like Branden Carlson? Lastly, they run through The Good (Vince Carters' Hall of Fame Induction, Jakob Poeltl), The Bad (big man defense, Ochai Agbaji) and The Hmmmm (Jonathan Mogbo babyyyyyyy!!!) to round out the show.

| The case for the Toronto Raptors overachieving in 2024-25 | 17 Oct 2024 | 00:36:34 | |
The Toronto Raptors are not projected to be very good in 2024-25, but what if they are? In Episode 1728, Sean Woodley goes solo to lay out the case for the Toronto Raptors being one of the teams -- of which there are always a couple -- that overachieves against their preseason expectations this coming season. Off the top, Sean lays out the case for the Raptors, and digs into why the capacity for internal growth on a team built mostly around 25-and-under dudes is the single biggest reason to feel optimistic that this team can be better than anticipated. We're great at talking about things that have happened, and less good at predicting impending leaps. Next, Sean digs into what the shape of an overachievement might look like for this team, why it'll have to involve a big jump on offense, why Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley could improve to the point that they raise the team's floor, and why health luck will have to be involved. Lastly, some fun to close as lover of Canada Josh Lloyd of Locked On Fantasy Basketball joins us from Australia to rip apart the Locked On Raptors Fantasy League draft in a way only he can do.

| What would an underachieving season look like for the Toronto Raptors? And what would it mean going forward? | 18 Oct 2024 | 00:32:47 | |
The Toronto Raptors seemingly expect to be bad this season; is it possible for them to still be considered underachievers by season's end? In Episode 1729, Sean Woodley goes solo to take a look at the case for the Raptors falling short of their very meager expectations this season, what that might look like, and what it would be mean for the long-term outlook if things fall flat this year. Off the top, Sean outlines why the Raptors have many more avenues to finishing under their 30.5 Vegas win projection than they do finishing substantially above it, and why not all of those avenues would be considered a disappointment or an underachievement. But some certainly would! Plus, a diatribe about why trading Jakob Poeltl would be an unbelievably poor choice. Next, Sean digs into what an underachievement would look like, and why it's way more about player performance than the win-loss record. What if Scottie Barnes stagnates, RJ Barrett regresses and Immanuel Quickley isn't cut out for a lead guard role? It's maybe not likely, but if it happens, it's a clear failure compared to the directive of this season. Plus, what about the role of health luck in all of this? Lastly, Sean addresses what might happen this summer if things go poorly with the core players, and why it probably means the team is looking at starting back from square one if Quickley and Barrett in particular don't look cut out to be high level starters on a competitive team.

| Final Raptors preseason takeaways; Scottie looks ready, Team Tryhard, Ochai's outlook & more | 21 Oct 2024 | 00:34:31 | |
The Toronto Raptors closed out their preseason schedule with a 116-112 win over the Brooklyn Nets to finish 3-2 in the exhibition season, while continuing to hint at this team having a little bit more upside if things break right than has been projected all summer long. In Episode 1730, Sean digs into his biggest takeaway from the preseason as a whole, talks about why the Raptors got it exactly right with their final roster decisions, and runs through The Good, The Bad & The Hmmmm from the preseason. Off the top, Sean digs into why this preseason opened the door just a bit for the Raptors to be a surprise riser, with Scottie Barnes' all-encompassing presence, some optimism among the second unit guys, and the team's try-hard ethos all being elements that could push the Raptors' win total up this season. Next, Sean dives into the Raptors' decision to swap Jamison Battle into Branden Carlson's two-way spot and give Bruno Fernando the last spot on the 15-man roster, and why that was the exact right course of action based on preseason results and the needs of the team. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Ochai Agbaji looking like a connective piece, shooting be damned), The Bad (Davion Mitchell's offense in a point guard role) and The Hmmm (Scottie Barnes' perimeter defense) from the preseason as a whole to wrap up the show.

The Toronto Raptors kick off the 2024-25 NBA season with their home opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight, and it's time for some bold, daring, audacious predictions about this year's Raptors team. In Episode 1732, Sean Woodley is joined by Joseph Casciaro (The Score) to make some bold predictions about the upcoming Toronto Raptors season.

Next, Sean makes a strong proclamation about the Raptors' propensity for living at the rim, while his guest outlines his case for why the Raptors' offense can be much better than anyone might expect.

| Raptors spanked by Cavs on opening night; Scottie's struggles, IQ's injury & JAMAL SHEAD! | 24 Oct 2024 | 00:32:03 | |
The Toronto Raptors got blown out by the Cleveland Cavaliers in their home opener on Wednesday night, with an already shorthanded roster taking another blow when Immanuel Quickley left after a fall in the 2nd quarter. In Episode 1733, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the Toronto Raptors 136-106 season-opening loss, why a combo of poor play, strange decision-making and a hollowed out roster due to injury came together to leave the Raptors up a creek without a paddle against a dangerous-looking Cavs team, positives and negatives in the backcourt, and The Good, The Bad & The Hmmmm from the first game of 82. Off the top, Sean gets into how the Cavs terror duo of Evan Mobly and Jarrett Allen gave Scottie Barnes fits, Barnes forcing the issue, and Darko Rajakovic doing Barnes no favours by surrounding him with little shooting -- albeit while working with a roster down five rotation players once Quickley was ruled out for the second half. Next, Sean dives into the guard play on display in the game. IQ looked rock solid before the injury, Jamal Shead was awesome, guiding the team through it's best stretch of the final three quarters of the game, and Davion Mitchell had a hard time as a lead creator. It's clear Jamal Shead is the best backup point guard on this team, and there's a real case to start him if IQ needs to miss some time with the pelvic contusion he sustained in a fall. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Chris Boucher), The Bad (no purple court to accompany ths sweet purple and black jerseys) and The Hmmmm (Jonathan Mogbo) to round out the show.

| Prepping for a weekend without Quickley & Toxic Positivity Friday! w/ Es Baraheni | 25 Oct 2024 | 00:32:15 | |
The Toronto Raptors are likely to be without starting point guard Immanuel Quickley when they take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday on the first night of a weekend back-to-back; what should head coach Darko Rajakovic do with his rotation if his lead guard isnt' available? In Episode 1734, Sean Woodley is joined by Esfandiar Baraheni (The Athletic NBA Daily) to talk about what the Raptors might be able to do to optimize a very thin rotation against the Sixers on Friday before debuting a new weekly segment on the show: Toxic Positivity Friday! Off the top, Sean and Es talk about the Raptors' injury woes, why Jamal Shead getting heavy run could be a silver lining of the unjury bug hitting the team so hard out of the gate, lineups they'd like to see get some run, and Scottie Barnes' capacity for a bounceback effort after going 3/14 in the opener. Next, they debut the new weekly Friday segment on the show: Toxic Positivity Friday (TPF for short), where they put the blinders on to all the bad stuff that happened and juiced about the little kernels of good we saw in Toronto Raptors basketball this week. Off the top, they chat about Jamal Shead turning heads, Jamison Battle's three-point marksmanship and the promise of this batch of rookies, before wrapping the show with some thoughts on Gradey Dick broadening his horizons and a quick round or two of "What Sound Did You Make?!"

| Biggest takeaways from a Raptors weekend split vs. 76ers & Wolves; Great rooks, Gradey's leap & more w/ Vivek Jacob | 28 Oct 2024 | 00:35:33 | |
The Toronto Raptors split a pair of weekend games against the Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves, and there were a whole lot of positive things to take away about the team's crew of rookies, Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji and more. In Episode 1735, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about their biggest takeaways from the Raptors' two weekend games, and run through the things they liked, the things they didn't like, and the things that have them intrigued from the first weekend of the season. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about the performances of the team's rookies, especially in the win over the Sixers, and why Jamal Shead, Jonathan Mogbo and Jamison Battle are already making the 2024 Raptors rookie class look like a banger, and that's without seeing Ja'Kobe Walter yet, and with Ulrich Chomche still very much in the learning phase. Next, they talk about Gradey Dick flashing an expanded offensive package, and the stark increase in his above-the-break shooting volume and efficiency. Lastly, Sean and Vivek dig into The Good (New Ochai Agbaji), The Bad (turnover trouble, Jakob Poeltl's start) and The Hmmmm (Jamison Battle, what the rotation will look like once the team starts to get healthy) to wrap up the show.

| Toronto Raptors fall in OT to thriller to the Nuggets; no moral victories, but plenty to build on | 29 Oct 2024 | 00:33:41 | |
The Toronto Raptors dropped a thrilling overtime game with the Denver Nuggets on Monday night as Nikola Jokic went full MVP mode and the young Raptors learned some tough lessons in closing games against good teams. In Episode 1736, Sean Woodley digs into why the loss was the type you can live considering all the good we saw out of the Raptors throughout, the Young Team Stuff that caused the Raptors to lose the rope, Scottie Barnes going down with an injury after a strong 21-12-9-5-1 effort, and more. Off the top, Sean digs into why this was the type of loss you can live with if you're a Raptors fan, the energy in the building, and some of the brightspots from a game that was distinctly unlike most games played at Scotiabank Arena in the post-COVID era. Next, Sean digs into where things went wrong for the Raptors and we hear from Darko Rajakovic on why this is the type of game the team can learn from. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Jakob Poeltl's noble efforts on Nikola Jokic), The Bad (Scottie Barnes taking an injury) and The Hmmmmm (Sean's New Favourite Lineup) to round out the show.

| Raptors start life without Scottie Barnes with wildly entertaining loss to Hornets; Gradey Dick drops a career-high | 31 Oct 2024 | 00:32:29 | |
The Toronto Raptors started life without injured star Scottie Barnes on Wednesday night with a wildly entertaining 138-133 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on the road. In Episode 1738, Sean Woodley goes solo just after the buzzer to run through his biggest takeaways from the game, Jonathan Mogbo starting and Jamal Shead impressing again, and more from a loss that sends the Raptors to 1-4 on the season. Off the top, Sean digs into how the Raptors pillars of competence: Jakob Poeltl (20 points, 16 rebounds), RJ Barrett (31 points, 8 assists, 4 threes) and Gradey Dick (a career-high 30 points on 11/17 shooting) figure to give this team far more structure and purpose than the Raptors had when Scottie Barnes last missed time to close the 2023-24 season. Immanuel Quickley, who probably wins this game for the Raptors if available, figures to be that fourth pillar soon. Next, Sean talks about the efforts of the rookies. Jonathan Mogbo got his first career start and looked pretty solid doing it. Jamal Shead dishes 9 assists in his 20 minutes of action. And Jamison Battle had his roughest outing of the young season. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Davion Mitchell), The Bad (the defense) and The Hmmmm (can the Raptors continue to play with this kind of spirit throughout Barnes' absence?) to round out the show.

| Scottie Barnes to miss at least 1 game, but what if it's more; Raptors pick up Ochai Agbaji's option w/ Katie Heindl | 30 Oct 2024 | 00:33:37 | |
Toronto Raptors star forward Scottie Barnes is out for the team's game against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday as he undergoes testing on the eye injury he sustained against the Denver Nuggets on Monday; can the Raptors withstand a prolonged Barnes absence? In Episode 1737, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Locked On NBA Newsletters, Basketball Feelings) to chat about the injury to Barnes, the rotten injury luck he's faced in 2024, and how the Raptors can weather their best player's absence. Next, they chat about Ochai Agbaji having his fourth-year option picked up by the team and the early returns on his revamped game so far this year. Lastly, they check in on the state of the team after one week of games. How are we all feeling compared to where we were at a week ago before the season began?

| Toxic Positivity Friday! Jonathan Mogbo's ROY Campaign, expanded IQ & what LeBronto GOOD actually? | 01 Nov 2024 | 00:31:10 | |
The Toronto Raptors are without Scottie Barnes, but that can't dampen Toxic Positivity Friday, especially not on a weekend where LeBron James is coming to town and Vince Carter is getting his jersey retired. In Episode 1739, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the silver linings of Scottie Barnes being out the lineup, Jonathan Mogbo's pathway to a serious Rookie of the Year case with Barnes out of the lineup for extended time, Immanuel Quickley getting the kes to the team upon his return, and a weekend that will be full of nostalgia as LeBron James and Vince Carter, two major figures in Raptors history, will be in town for very different reasons. Off the top Sean dives into why Mogbo getting to start in Barnes' place not only makes sense, but sets him up to rack up the kinds of numbers that could vault him into Rookie of the Year contention is a down year for first-year guys. Next, Sean talks about the heavy offensive burden Immanuel Quickley is going to carry in Barnes' absence once he returns to action, and what that'll be a good thing in the long run. Lastly, Sean talks about the upcoming Vince Carter jersey retirement on Saturday, and why LeBron James coming to town on Friday is a nice bit of a symmetry on a weekend where the imperfect history of the Raptors will be celebrated as it ought to be.

| Which Toronto Raptors hot starts have a chance to hold up all year? w/ Zulfi Sheikh | 06 Nov 2024 | 00:37:32 | |
It's still small sample season, but the Toronto Raptors are now a tenth of the way into the season; will the hot starts of Gradey Dick, RJ Barrett, Ochai Agbaji and Jakob Poeltl hold up throughout the season? In Episode 1742, Sean Woodley is joined by Zulfi Sheikh (Sportsnet, Raptors Republic) to chat about how sustainable the starts of some key Raptors might be as we progress further into the season. Can Gradey Dick maintain his efficiency while hunting such a steady diet of difficult shots? Is RJ Barrett's playmaking leap going to hold up as the Raptors get healthier? What about Ochai Agbaji's incredibly accuracy on corner threes and at the rim? Plus, will Jakob Poeltl keep on pace to have a career year? And is Davion Mitchell due for a reshaped role once Immanuel Quickley and Scottie Barnes return to action? All that and more on today's show!

| Toronto Raptors drop another heartbreaker to Nuggets, but this team's flashes are tantalizing | 05 Nov 2024 | 00:37:19 | |
The Toronto Raptors dropped a second heartbreaker to the Denver Nuggets in as many Mondays as RJ Barrett's would-be winner popped in and out at the buzzer, dropping the Raptors to the most thrilling 2-6 record you've ever seen. In Episode 1741, Sean Woodley goes solo to recap a game that featured all kinds of great flashes from Gradey Dick and RJ Barrett, along with some learning moments for them both as well. Plus, the Raptors strung together their best defensive half of the season in the opening 24 minutes; is there something to build on there? Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Jakob Poeltl, offensive juggernaut), The Bad (Chris Boucher getting walked, all the time) and The Hmmmm (just how good is Gradey Dick going to be?) to wrap up the show.

| RJ Barrett & Gradey Dick show the future, while Toronto Raptors honour the past and retire Vince Carters' no. 15 w/ Vivek Jacob | 04 Nov 2024 | 00:35:09 | |
It was an absolutely loaded weekend of Toronto Raptors basketball, as the team lost to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night before celebrating franchise icon Vince Carter in a note-perfect jersey retirment ceremony on Saturday night as the Toronto Raptors took down the Sacrameno Kings in overtime, while RJ Barrett and Gradey Dick carried the day. In Episosde 1740, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about the Toronto Raptors 1-1 weekend, RJ Barrett and Gradey Dick turning out star performances against both the Lakers and Kings as the Raptors continue to battle injuries, the Vince Carter retirement ceremony and the Good, Bad & Hmmm from a loaded weekend. Off the top, they get into Barrett's burst of incredible playmaking over the last three games, what it means for the team, and Grady Dick's incredible shot-making and defense-bending. Next, they get into the Vince Carter retirement ceremony, why the Raptors absolutely nailed it, and the emotions of seeing Carter and the city bury the hatchet for good. Lastly, Sean and Vivek run through their Good (rim pressure, Ochai Agbaji) Bad (Drake, defense) and Hmmmm (Jonathan Mogbo's on/off numbers, the Vince banner placement) to round out the show).

| The well runs dry for the Raptors in 4th quarter vs. Kings, spoiling the Davion Mitchell Revenge Game | 07 Nov 2024 | 00:34:29 | |
The Toronto Raptors dropped to 2-7 on the young season with a 122-107 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night in a game that tight until DeMar DeRozan and the Kings turned on the jets to pull away from a shorthanded Raps squad in the fourth quarter. In Episode 1743, Sean Woodley goes solo to run through his takeaways on the fourth quarter collapse by the Raptors, Davion Mitchell finding his way as an effective albeit somewhat maddening energy guard, and the best, worst and most interesting from the Raptors' loss in Sacramento. Off the top, Sean outlines how a stark disparity in shot-making talent and the Raptors' increasingly troublesome issues on the defensive glass were just too much for the Raptors, who badly need Immanuel Quickley back in the lineup. Next, Sean sings the praises of Davion Mitchell, who, despite some frustrating elements of his game, is carving out a nice niche for himself as his return to the bench draws near with Quickley slated to return as early as the weekend. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Chris Boucher heaters), The Bad (injuries to Jonathan Mogbo and Ja'Kobe Walter) and The Hmmmm (what happens to Jamal Shead once Quickley returns?) to close out the show!

| Toxic Positivity Friday! Is a Top-6 seed in the busted Eastern Conference there the Raptors to snag? w/ Katie Heindl | 08 Nov 2024 | 00:35:29 | |
The Eastern Conference is a complete mess, and the Toronto Raptors seem to be inching towards returns for their two most important offensive players; is surprise climb into the East's Top-6 a total pipedream, or a distinct possibility? In Episode 1744, it's Toxic Positivity Friday, where Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Locked On Newsletters, Basketball Feelings) to talk about Immanuel Quickley nearing a return and what it means for a Raptors team that's dying for their three-point launching point guard's skillset, whether a healthy version of the Raptors can parlay its early-season depth discovery into a run up the shambolic Eastern Conference on the back of an offense that has a chance to be very good, and why though it might defy the preseason tanking edict, it would in fact be a good thing for the Raptors to make a jump to playoff status. How much will Quickley's return help solve some of the recurring issues the 2-7 Raptors have faced? Are there any teams in the Eastern Conferenc to truly be feared outside of the Cavs and Celtics?

| Inexperienced Raptors get a reality check in 0-2 tour of Los Angeles | 11 Nov 2024 | 00:35:36 | |
The Toronto Raptors saw the long-awaited return of starting point guard Immanuel Quickley over the weekend, but dropped a pair of games to the Clippers and Lakers on a tour of Los Angeles that saw the team get something of a reality check on their current station within the league. In Episode 1745, Sean Woodley goes solo run through his big takeaways from the weekend, Quickley's up-and-down return through two games, Ochai Agbaji's trustworthiness and much more. Off the top, Sean digs into the reality checks experienced by head coach Darko Rajakovic, big man Jakob Poeltl and RJ Barrett, all of whom had their struggles over the weekend. Next, Sean digs into the return of Immanuel Quickley to the lineup, how he aids their late-game offense, his issue with killing his dribble too soon, and the potential return of his floater touch. Lastly, he runs through The Good (Ochai Agbaji), The Bad (Jamison Battles' missed threes, fouling up 3 not being a federal crime) and The Hmmmmm (can the Raptors get right against the reeling Bucks on Tuesday as the NBA Cup begins?) to round out the show.

The Toronto Raptors lost a rock fight with the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night to open up the NBA Cup, falling 99-85 in a game where their identity as a team betrayed them.

Lastly, Sean and Vivek run through The Good (Gradey Dick, Bruno Fernando's poster on Giannis), The Bad (AJ Green's existence, rim scoring, rookie struggles) and The Hmmm (the Bucks being screwed, NBA Cup-date) to round out the show.

| How's Darko Rajakovic doing? Eyes already on the 2025 Draft? | Mailbag! | 14 Nov 2024 | 00:31:18 | |
How's Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic performing now into his second season on the sidelines? In Episode 1748, Sean Woodley goes solo to field a handful of listener questions about Darko Rajakovic's grade as the Raptors' bench boss so far, the upcoming 2025 Draft (yes, we're there already) and the future of a couple bench pieces on the Raptors with very different long-term outlooks. Off the top, Sean assesses the performance of Rajakovic so far, digs into how he's excelled in the developmental part of his job, and why we're still very much unclear on Darko's acumen as a late-game coach. Is he the type of coach who will need to replaced once the Raptors are competitive? Maybe! But we have no clue just yet. Next, Sean digs into what the ideal player archetype for the Raptors to add in this summer's draft would be based on the state of the team, before tackling a What's More Likely scenario regarding Cooper Flagg. Lastly, Sean discusses the short and longer team plans for Jonathan Mogbo, and whether he'd rather see the Raptors extend Davion Mitchell, or trade him by the deadline.

| Toxic Positivity Friday! Only up from here; The Kansas Boys rock & more! w/ Katie Heindl | 15 Nov 2024 | 00:35:03 | |
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.

| Raptors continue to leave it all on the floor, but drop heartbreakers to Celtics & Pistons | Is the defense on the rise? | 18 Nov 2024 | 00:36:53 | |
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.

| RJ Barrett closes out the Pacers as Jakob Poeltl's heater continues, Raptors improve to 3-12 w/ Vivek Jaob | 19 Nov 2024 | 00:35:13 | |
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.

| What's More Likely?! Jakob Poeltl trade or extension? Raptors over Sixers or Bucks? And more! w/ Hot Take Heindl | 20 Nov 2024 | 00:34:50 | |
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.

| Would you rather be the Raptors or Sixers for the next 5 years? w/ Trill Bro Dude | 21 Nov 2024 | 00:47:59 | |
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.

Then, Sean talks about what he noticed from Barnes' return, his whip-smart defense, and how he makes life easier for everyone else.

| Toronto Raptors fall to Cleveland Cavaliers; Guard play disparity, Jonathan Mogbo thrills & more w/ Vivek Jacob | 25 Nov 2024 | 00:37:21 | |
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.

| Toronto Raptors fall to Detroit Pistons on Jaden Ivey buzzer beater; Scottie Barnes & offensive rebounds can't save them | 26 Nov 2024 | 00:32:28 | |
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.

| Raptors rain threes on Pelicans' heads, pick up first road win of season | 28 Nov 2024 | 00:35:53 | |
The Toronto Raptors picked up their first road win of the season on Wednesday night, taking down the New Orleans Pelicans with their most prolific three-point shooting night of the season, with Ochai Agbaji and Jamison Battle leading the way. In Episode 1758, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 119-93 win over a very injured New Orleans Pelicans team, the 21-of-52 three-point shooting night that powered them to a win, Ja'Kobe Walters' all around effort in his first career start, Jamison Battle's lights-out shooting and more. Off the top, Sean digs into how bombing a bunch of threes Boston Celtics-style won this game for Toronto as it helped soften up a Pelicans defense that was densely packed in the paint in the early going. Scottie Barnes took 12 threes and only made 2 -- and that's fine. Next, Sean digs into Walters' first career start, and how he was able to affect the game with playmaking, rebounding and defense even though his three-point shot (2-of-10) wasn't falling. Lastly, Sean runs throug The Good (Battle), The Bad (Jakob Poeltl's offense against hyper athletic bigs) and The Hmmm (what's the sweet spot for the Raptors when it comes to three-point volume?) to round out the show.

| Toronto Raptors weekend split with Miami Heat another example of the being Too Good to Tank | 02 Dec 2024 | 00:34:05 | |
The Toronto Raptors split a home-and-home against the Miami Heat on Friday and Sunday, with RJ Barrett scoring with his familiar ruthless efficiency, Scottie Barnes pulling the strings on both ends, and Ja'Kobe Walter showing flashes in his first steady run of minutes as a rookie. In Episode 1760, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Raptors' split with the Heat, why this team is proving to be too good to tank, and why their current level of play should yield a far better record in the second quarter of the season than their 6-15 record through Q1. Toronto's trending up while a lot of teams around them are very much not. Next, Sean details how the issues that hurt Toronto most over the weekend -- sloppy bench minutes and rough crunch time offense -- should be helped significantly by the returns of Gradey Dick and Immanuel Quickley, whenever that may come. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Ja'Kobe Walter), The Bad (another dud of an NBA Cup showing) and The Hmmm (the encouraging numbers behind the Raptors' new starting lineup) to round out the show.

| Toronto Raptors at the Quarter Pole: The best, worst and most intriguing things from the first 21 games w/ Vivek Jacob | 03 Dec 2024 | 00:35:49 | |
A quarter of the way into the NBA season, the Toronto Raptors are 6-15 and yet still feel like overachievers -- its' a wonderful thing! In Episode 1761, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to take stop of The Good, The Bad & the Hmm from the Raptors' first 21 games, with thoughts on player development, battling through the injury bug and much more. Off the top, Sean details why the discovery of some legitimate depth on the roster has been the best thing about the early stretch of the season, especially considering that depth looked like the single greatest weakness of the team before the year. Vivek piggy backs on that and talks about how player development has been the stand-out item from the first portion of the year. Next, Sean outlines why the team's inability to grab the low-hanging fruit in transition, at the rim, and in the ball security department has been his biggest bugaboo to start the year, while Vivek gets into why it's a problem that we still haven't seen Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett share the floor together this season. Lastly, Vivek gets into team building philosophy and how much this Raptors team is to be believed in this season as his Hmm from the first month and a half, while Sean shares some numbers that seem to suggest these Raptors have finally figured out how to crack zone defenses.

| Scottie Barnes walks the superstar walk, Raptors hold off Pacers for second-straight win | 04 Dec 2024 | 00:31:50 | |
Scottie Barnes dropped a career-high 35 points to go along with six rebound and nine assists as the Toronto Raptors held off an attempted Indiana Pacers comeback to win their second-straight game and improve to 7-15 on the season. In Episode 1762, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about how Barnes very much walked the superstar walk, Davion Mitchell's contributions to the closing lineup, the end of Toronto's NBA Cup run and more. Off the top, Sean talks about Barnes' career night, where he found the perfect balance of hunting is own and setting the table for others and looked every bit the superstar the Raptors are banking on him becoming. Next, Sean talks about the baffling and yet once again effective Davion Mitchell, who was 3/9 on the night, but was essential to slowing down Tyrese Haliburton late and chipped in a couple huge late buckets. We don't need to understand why he's so effective, we just need to enjoy it. Lastly, Sean digs into The Good (The Pascal Siakam trade), The Bad (another NBA Cup run without much juice) and The Hmm (the lineup flexibility the Raptors are gonna have once they get healthier) to round out the show.

| Gradey Dick back(?), the Raptor's ceiling in the East & Toronto Tempo? | 05 Dec 2024 | 00:35:08 | |
Toronto Raptors sharpshooter Gradey Dick is nearing a return, the Eastern Conference teams around the Raptors are a disaster, and the Toronto Tempo are coming to the WNBA. In Episode 1763 of Locked On Raptors, Sean Woodley goes solo to discuss the Raptors' incoming rotation crunch, their level of mobility within the East, and his first impressions of the WNBA team's name announcement. Off the top, Sean digs into the potential return of Gradey Dick tonight against the OKC Thunder to kick off a three-game run of measuring stick games against contenders, what his return to the lineup will mean for the rotation, and the greater rotation crunch coming once Bruce Brown and eventually Kelly Olynyk and Immanuel Quickley are available to play. Next, Sean takes stock of the Eastern Conference landscape and tries to nail down just how high this team can climb. Lastly, Sean offers his initial thoughts on the announcement of the Toronto Tempo's name, logo and colour scheme. The name and logo are a bit underwhelming, the colours are awesome, and none of it will probably matter once the team is actually playing games.

Off the top, Sean and Vivek dig into Barnes' play-driving, his improved playmaking, and whether he needs to be a big time scorer to truly ascend to the heights the Raptors are hoping he can achieve. Next, they talk about RJ Barrett being on the sidelines for the best Raptors stretch of the Mavs game, his rough numbers as the sole creator with the bench, and why the return of Immanuel Quickley is going to do him some good. Lastly, they run through The Good (Kelly Olynyk's return, Gradey Dick emptying the clip), The Bad (missing bunnies, transition defense) and The Hmmm (rookies looking comfy, Jonathan MoBingo) to round out the show!
