Blake and Eric welcome a special guest this week: Raptors TV and radio analyst Jack Armstrong. Jack joins the show to chat about what he's been up to since the NBA postponed its season, re-lives some of the most vivid memories from the Raptors NBA Finals run with the games being rebroadcast, and weighs in on how this year's team was trending sans-Kawhi Leonard before another playoff run was put on hold. Plus, Eric updates the results of his controversial CanRock bracket, and offers a preview of his upcoming piece on the best Raptors by jersey number.
