Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 1374, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 120-100 win over the very bad Charlotte Hornets to improve to 40-39 and keep pace with the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA's Eastern Conference play-in race. Off the top, Sean digs into the bench explosion by Chris Boucher and Will Barton (and to a lesser extent Precious Achiuwa) as they poured in 21 and 20 points respectively and Toronto's top bench trio combined to shoot 11/17 from deep. This team doesn't need much from its reserves to be very darn good! Next, Sean discusses the steady performances by Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet, who showed once again how important they are to the team, especially on nights when Scottie Barnes doesn't have it; Barnes went scoreless in 29 minutes. Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (Fred VanVleet's 16-point third quarter), the Bad (Jeff Dowtin's lack of offensive aggression as the decision on his two-way contract conversion looms) and the Hmm (Christian Koloko's passing on the short roll) before rounding out the show.

In Episode 1373, Sean Woodley and Louis Zatzman take a look at the Toronto Raptors' late season improvement (16-10 since the start of February) and ask whether or not there has been enough improvement to inspire confidence in the team beyond this season. Off the top, they chat about where things have improved since Jakob Poeltl's arrival, where things still need work, and why they've probably proven enough to avoid massive player personnel changes this summer. Next, they ask the simple question: is the current version of the team better than the team that stormed its way to the 5th-seed a year ago? The answer may surprise you! Plus, Sean and Louis chat about Pascal Siakam's adjustment period to playing with Jakob Poeltl, why more shooting on the roster would benefit him more than just about anyone on the team, and why despite the imperfect fit, Siakam should still be part of the team going forward. Lastly, Sean chats with Louis about the things they're most excited or interested watch in the final week of the season and post-season, including Precious Achiuwa, and the glorious sports occurrence that is a single-elimination game.

In Episode 1372, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to all of the developments regarding Nick Nurse and his future with the Toronto Raptors after a weekend of rumours and press conference posturing before digging into the Raptors' 1-1 weekend against the Philadelphia 76ers and Charlotte Hornets. Off the top, Sean digs into the Doug Smith report about Nurse' uncertain future in the Toronto Star, and Nurse's comments on the situation before Friday's game against Philly. Sean digs into why the timing of the noise might hint at some real fire around all the smoke, and why it might just be time for the Raptors and Nurse to go their separate ways after five fruitful seasons. Plus, Sean details why Ime Udoka certainly is not the solution when it comes to the next coach hired in the event Nurse leaves. Next, Sean digs into his big takeaways from the weekend, including another impressive effort from Scottie Barnes in Philly and the Raptors' overall improvement in their at-rim scoring over the last couple months -- much of which is tied to Scottie's improved finishing touch. Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (a comfortable win in Charlotte, Fred VanVleet with a new franchise single-game assists record), the Bad (O.G. Anunoby's injury and the CBA not making his extension situation any easier to navigate) and the Hmm (the Play-in and why you should enjoy these last couple weeks for the 2022-23 Raptors.

In Episode 1371, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to discuss the Toronto Raptors' place within a parity-filled league, and whether their .500 status is as negative a thing as it's been perceived to be in season's past when the NBA was far more stratified. They discuss whether or not they like the league's state of parity compared to what the landscape has looked like in previous decades, and why the league's incredible level of talent is the cause. Is there more value in being part of the league's mushy middle than their used to be, considering the quality of players and teams hovering around .500 this season? And how have the teams near the top of the league managed to pulle away? Part of it top-end talent in the form of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid and Jayson Tatum -- some of the best players alive leading their teams to league-topping records. But what about teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies? From there, Sean and Katie dig into how team chemistry and cohesion feels like the thing that is pulling teams out of the middle, and whether it's achieveable for the Raptors to find such on-court harmony with their current cast of players. Lastly, they examine Nick Nurse's role in the Raptors lacking that chemistry and identity, and whether or not a coaching change for the sake of change this off-season might be in the cards.

In Episode 1370, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' comfortable 106-92 win over Kyle Lowry and the Miami Heat in a game that offered a glimpse at what the Raptors can look like if and when Scottie Barnes ascends to nightly The Dude status. Off the top, Sean chats about Barnes' imrpessive 22-7-12 effort that saw him make good things happen just about any time he touched the ball. There's been a lot of tension over the team hierarchy this season. When Barnes plays like that, the pecking order of the future comes in the focus, and it's pretty damn exciting. Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam are too accomplished and too good to simply hand the keys to the offense over the Scottie. But if he forces their hand? Surely they'll buy in. Next, Sean takes a look at the way Siakam, VanVleet and O.G. Anunoby complemented Barnes' game wonderfully, showing off the type of ready made supporting cast Barnes can have around him as he ascends if the Raptors keep the core together through the summer. Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (Jakob Poeltl doing the dirty work), the Bad (the fact that the play-in didn't exist before a couple years ago) and the Hmmm (Precious Achiuwa being back, hopefully not for one night only) to round out the show. The Raptors are .500 for the first time since December 9th! Holy hell!

In Episode 1369, Sean Woodley is joined by Esfandiar Baraheni (SDPN) to break down the state of the Toronto Raptors bench and examine whether or not it's salvageable either before the end of this season, or ahead of the 2023-24 season. Off the top, they discuss whether the bench is a more inherent flaw in the team than the starting lineup, and how the mystique of the Raptors player developement machine has worn off in recent years thanks to a number of factors. Next, they chat about which members of the Raptors' reserve crew right now stands a chance of being a positive contributor either before the end of this season, or next year. Chris Boucher is probably the most reliable non-Gary Trent Jr. reserve on the team -- but could he potentially be part of an off-season move either to free up money or acquire guard depth? Precious Achiuwa's season hasn't been one to remember, but can he recapture the form that saw him leave last season as one of the most exciting young pieces on the Raptors? Plus, some thoughts on Malachi Flynn and Jeff Dowtin Jr.'s long-term outlook as Raptors guard help, whether Otto Porter Jr. can be a valuable piece next season, and whether Christian Koloko or Dalano Banton are going to factor into the team's plans next year as well. Is there a chance the bench could go from weakness to relative stretch between now and next season?

In Episode 1368, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to break down the Toronto Raptors' weekend wins over the Detroit Pistons and Washington Wizards and take a look at the three-team race for the 8th-seed in the Eastern Conference between the Raptors, Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks. Off the top, Sean and Vivek take stock of the race for 8th, and try to predict who has the inside track for the all-important 8th-seed. The Bulls have the easiest remaining schedule, but how much will that matter as teams begin to shut things down and the stakes at play vary wildly across opponents? Next, they dig into the biggest takeaways from the weekend, and discuss their general impressions of the team now that we're 19 games in to the Jakob Poeltl experience, as the Raps sit 11-8 with the 17th-best offense and 9th-best defense in the league in that stretch. Most notably -- what of the Pascal Siakam-Scottie Barnes tandem and its viability going forward? Lastly, Sean and Vivek run through the Good (O.G. Anunoby's scoring), the Bad (the 3rd quarter vs. Washington) and the Hmmm (Jeff Dowtin's quality of play and contract status going into the playoffs) to round out the show.

In Episode 1367, Sean Woodley goes solo to answer listener questions about the Toronto Raptors and some of the most important storylines surrounding them as they push for the East Play-in Tournament. Off the top, Sean digs into which members of the Raptors rotation represent the most important developement cases for the Raptors as they move forward. Scottie Barnes is kind of where it starts and stops -- if he turns into a great player, everything else will take care of itself. Plus, thoughts on Christian Koloko and Precious Achiuwa, as well as the incoming first-rounder in 2023 NBA Draft. Next, Sean digs into what could potentially be an elephant in the room this summer: could the Raptors look at trading Pascal Siakam this summer? It's certainly possible considering the track record of the front office, although it's probably more likely he sticks around considering the front office's history of being patient when possible. Lastly, Sean runs through the other playoff teams that Fred VanVleet would start at point guard for -- it's a lot of them! -- and offers some theories as to why players seems to lose their three-point stroke when they join the Raptors.

In Episode 1366, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to break down the Toronto Raptors' 118-114 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night, which is one of the more baffling losses in a season full of them considering Tyrese Haliburton was out for Indy. Off the top, they dig into the slew of missed opportunities for the Raptors to grab control of the game in the going, Will Barton's dud of a night as a starter in place of the injured Scottie Barnes, Gary Trent Jr. and Precious Achiuwa, and which of the three absent Raptors the team missed the most. Next, Sean details a tactical concern that popped up for the Raptors related to Jakob Poeltl and his struggles against teams with three-point shooting big men, and why Achiuwa and Christian Koloko's development are key potential solutions to the problem. Jakob Poeltl still rules, but he's imperfect, as was put on display last night. Lastly, Sean and Jamar run through the Good (CanCon showing out, Pascal Siakam's 31-10-7, Malachi Flynn), the Bad (Will Barton, Toronto's transition scoring, Siakam missing mismatches in the first half) and The Hmmm (Status quo in the play-in race, Toronto's 4th quarter issues) to round out the show.

In Episode 1365, Sean Woodley is joined by Tony East (Locked On Pacers) to chat about the Toronto Raptors and the Indiana Pacers ahead of their matchup on Wednesday night in Toronto which will be loaded with play-in race implications. Off the top, Sean and Tony dig into the reasons why both teams might be motivated to push for the play-in, and the value of playoff experience versus a slightly better shot at NBA Draft Lottery luck. Next, Tony grills Sean on the latest with the Raptors, including Jakob Poeltl's impact both on the short and long-term outlook for the Raps. Lastly, Sean and Tony discuss the Canadian contingent on the Pacers, from impressive rookies Bennedict Mathurin and Andrew Nembhard to old Raptors friend Oshae Brissett. Will the Pacers have the juice to take down the Raptors if Tyrese Haliburton can't return from injury in time for the game on Wednesday? Or will Toronto's revamped roster be too much for the Pacers to handle?
