Healthy Optimism: Next Level OG, Powell's Impact, Clutch Lowry & Beat Writer Minutiae!

Eric is back from vacation and Blake returns from the Raptors west coast swing to recap the 4-1 trip, and look ahead to a meeting with Dwane Casey's Pistons this weekend. The guys discuss the altercation involving OG Anunoby and Rudy Gobert and OG continuing to showcase his development on the defensive end, if injuries will hurt the All-Defensive Team case for Fred Van Vleet or Marc Gasol, and Norman Powell continuing his impressive play on the offensive end, when healthy. Plus, breaking down Kyle Lowry's play this season and how it impacts the rest of the team, imagining a time when the Raptors could return to full health, and a look around the Eastern Conference as they battle with the Celtics for the #2 seed.
