The Toronto Raptors fell short in an attempted comeback against the Chicago Bulls and lost 122-121 on Monday while, while starting center Jakob Poeltl left the game with a groin injury. In Episode 1771, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about the Raptors best efforts to come back without Poeltl in the fourth quarter, why the game offered a preview of what life without Poeltl will probably look like, the overall listlessness of the Raptors throughout the first three quarters, Jamal Shead's big fourth quarter and much more. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about the attempted comeback in the fourth quarter, where the limitations of not having Jakob Poeltl burned them, Gradey Dick lightning the nets on fire, and what the injury to Poeltl means going forward. Next, they chat about a sleep first three quarters, and whether the atrophy of losing is starting to set in for the Raptors. Lastly, they run through The Good (Jamal Shead), The Bad (RJ Barrett's late-game decision-making, Jonathan Mogbo looking green) and The Hmm (Raptors-Nets on Thursday -- uh, oh, and ramifications for poor transition defense) to round out the show.

With the December 15th milestone now behind is, it's officially TRADE SEASON in the NBA, and for the first time in a while, the Raptors don't figure to be super involved in the action -- which is a major relief! In Episode 1770, Sean Woodley is joined by Joseph Casciaro (the Score) to talk about the Toronto Raptors in the lead-up to the 2025 NBA Trade Deadline, why they don't figure to be major players, which guys could get moved, and whether we could get caught off guard by any surprises between now and February. Off the top, Sean and Cash rejoice at the Raptors not being the main characters of this deadline, and discuss why a Jakob Poeltl trade would make very little sense for the team at this juncture. Next, they get into the team's expiring players: Davion Mitchell, Chris Boucher and Bruce Brown Jr., and whether the Raptors will get much return if any for the three pending free agents. Lastly, Sean and Cash finish up with a chat about some farfetched pre-deadline scenarios. Could the Raptors get eager and make a buying move at this deadline to get a head start on their offseason? And what's the furthest they'd feel comfortable with the Raptors going in on a godfather offer for Herb Jones of the New Orleans Pelicans?

The Toronto Raptors fell to the Miami Heat 114-104 in Scottie Barnes' first game on the sidelines with an ankle injury -- but they absolutely cooked in the first 14:23 of the game. In Episode 1769, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to the Raptors falling to 7-19 with their loss in Miami, why they missed Scottie Barnes so dearly, how they won the first 14:23 so decidedly, DUNKS, shot creation issues and Jakob Poeltl's weird bout with back spasms that saw him miss a grand total of two minutes. First, Sean talks about how the absence of Scottie Barnes was felt on both the offensive and defensive end, the Raptors' issues with porous on-ball defense and RJ Barrett's struggles as the offense's leading man. Next, it's Toxic Positivity Friday, and we'll leave it at that. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (DUNKS, BABY!!!), The Bad (a general lack of shot creation without Scottie Barnes) and The Hmmm (was Jakob Poeltl on the can?) to wrap up the show.

The Toronto Raptors, despite being third in shots at the rim, are 27th in the NBA in dunks -- which is very bad for people who like dunks! In Episode 1768, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Locked On NBA Newsletters, Basketball Feelings) to talk about the Toronto Raptors issues with dunking the basketball, why Jonathan Mogbo is the best hope the team has to save them from this dunkless doom, and how their lack of dunks is actually hurting them on the basketball court. Next, Sean and Katie prepare for another stretch of life without Scottie Barnes, talk about why his injury is such a bummer, the silver linings of him being out of the lineup and The Colosseum before Hot Take Heindl makes a triumphant return to the show. Lastly, they build off of Katie's League at Large column in the newsletter with a look at Jimmy Butler and the Heat on track for a split and the envy we've had watching teams succeed in the NBA Cup.

What is the ceiling of Toronto Raptors rookie Ja'Kobe Walter? In Episode 1767, Sean Woodley goes solo to field mailbag questions about Walter's upside, the Raptors' team build and how close they are to having the nucleus of a contending team on hand, new 2-way signing AJ Lawson and Jonathan Mogbo. Off the top, Sean digs into Walter's play so far, why his two-way potential makes him a really enticing archetype of player if he can hit his ceiling, and why he has the profile of an elite sixth man who closes games for you if all breaks right. Next, Sean fields a question about the Raptors' assemblage of talent, and what they still need to add to inch towards contender status. Do they have all the pieces to be at least a perennial playoff team with Scottie Barnes at the center of it all? Lastly, Sean answers a question about new Raptors two-way signing AJ Lawson, who Sean got to see up close during his one season spent in the CEBL. Plus, Mogbo? Yes. Mogbo!

In Episode 1766, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the Barnes injury and the course forward if Barnes is set to miss extended time, RJ Barrett's awesome revenge game against his old team, react to Ja'Kobe Walter's career-high 19 points and, yes, get a little mad about officiating. Off the top, Sean digs into Barnes injury, why it's such a huge bummer considering how nicely the team has been rounding into form around him and why this season is not over when it comes to gleaning important info about this group, even if Barnes is out until the New Year. Next, Sean talks about RJ Barrett dropping 30-8-4 on 13/24 shooting against his old team, the give take of his powerful offense and lackluster off-ball defense, and whether he can scale back up to leading man duty with Barnes out. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Ja'Kobe Walter), The Bad (Tony Brothers) and The Hmmmm (DJ Carton waived) to round out the show.
