The Toronto Raptors got smacked by the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night, but the play of Immanuel Quickley and Ja'Kobe Walter in the back court has your very handsome host feeling pretty optimistic about their future! In Episode 1838, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the Raptors loss in Chicago, the efficient play of Walter and Quickley and why they make a lot of sense as a guard tandem going forward, Scottie Barnes' recent scoring struggles and more. Off the top, Sean gets into some of the encouraging numbers around the IQ-Ja'Kobe tandem, and what makes them such a sensible on-court fit. Whatever the team looks like next year, the need to be playing loads of minutes together. Next, Sean digs into the recent offensive woes of Scottie Barnes, whether there's cause for legitimate concern, and why the context he's currently playing in is probably informing some admittedly very ugly numbers. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (an important loss for lotto position), The Bad (The Chicago Bulls, I don't care what anyone says) and The Hmmm (playoff elimination -- last time for a while?) to round out the show.
