Confederacy of Dunks Basketball Podcast (Archive) – Details, episodes & analysis

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!

Raptors: Norm getting player of the week and immediately injuring himself seems like a microcosm of this season. We talk more Raptors’ microcosms. Is Serge Ibaka the most underestimated player in the NBA? It’s time for early playoff talk. Starting with the first round, we pick our preferred teams to face as we march back to the finals.

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!
