Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 1364, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to examine Toronto Raptors wing O.G. Anunoby's case for making his first All-Defense team this season. Off the top, Sean and Vivek dig into the case for Anunoby, from his league-leading 2.0 steals/game to the advanced catch-all metric that paint a very rosy picture of his defense, to his unmatched combination of versatility and degree of difficulty. Next, Sean and Vivek dig into a loaded forward group contending for just four All-Defense spots. Giannis Antetokounmpo feels like a lock for one of them. Will O.G. beat out Draymond Green, Jaren Jackson Jr., Bam Adebayo, Jayson Tatum, Jaden McDaniels, Evan Mobley, Mikal Bridges and a host of other legit contenders for one of the remaining spots? Plus, if you were picking ONE forward for a game against a yet-to-be-named opponent, how high would O.G. go in that draft? Lastly, Sean and Vivek lay out what they predict will be the All-Defense teams, and reflect on what the biggest Anunoby All-Defense snub has been to date. The 2019-20 Raptors deserved so much better!

In Episode 1363, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 1-1 weekend against the Minnestoa Timberwolves and the league-best Milwaukee Bucks that featured plenty of promising signs for the 9th-place Raps. Off the top, Sean digs into how the Raptors' offense, while still searching for consistent results, has clearly found some sound process by putting guys into positions that history suggests they can succeed in. Fred VanVleet's walking into all kinds of pull-ups thanks to Jakob Poeltl's screening, Jak is finishing on the roll courtesy FVV with regularity, O.G. Anunoby's becoming the ultimate secondary scorer, and Pascal Siakam's using the post-up to his advantage once again. Next, Sean chats about another new wrinkle in VanVleet's game of late: crafty interior scoring, the type of skill maturation that is going to bode well as the 6'0 VanVleet ages. Plus, Precious Achiuwa's return to the rotation featured tons of promise, and the race for the play-in is likely down to the Raptors, Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls. Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (The Raptors become a dunk-forward team), the Bad (Scottie Barnes' wrist injury) and the Hmm (the cost of the Raptors' offensive rebounding on the defensive end) to round out the show!

In Episode 1362, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to break down the Toronto Raptors' 128-111 win over Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Off the top, they dig into Pascal Siakam bouncing back to form with a 25-14-8 performance, leading another impressive showing by the Raptors starting lineup. The question about the starters now is: what will they look like as they run into better competition this weekend in the Minnesota Timberwolves and Milwaukee Bucks? Next, Sean and Vivek chat about how the Raptors can continue to overcome the light shooting in their front court -- Scottie Barnes' recent uptick from two-point range certainly helps. Plus, Fred VanVleet looks to be at full form on both ends; he's all but certain to be back with next year's Raptors at this point, right? Lastly, they run through the Good (O.G. Anunoby's recent play, Siakam's bounceback, Ron Harper Jr.'s bench celebrations), the Bad (Will Barton being kinda meh) and the Hmm (Precious Achiuwa's DNP & Christian Koloko's play as the backup center) before rounding out the show.

In Episode 1361, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to play a round of everyone's favourite Toronto Raptors parlour game: 'What's More Likely?!', with a focus on three struggling members of the squad: Pascal Siakam, Gary Trent Jr. and Precious Achiuwa. Off the top, they dig into whether it's more like that Pascal Siakam will average 25 points a game from here to the end of the season, or average 15 points in that span, as he has over the last 6 games or so. If he can't get back on track scoring wise, does that change the shape of the Raptors' offseason plans at all? Next, they take a look at Gary Trent Jr., and whether this offseason is more likely to see him secure a new 4-year contract with the Raptors, or walk away for nothing (in a fashion that leaves the Raptors front office not all that upset). Lastly, is Precious Achiuwa more likely to get 20 minutes of action in a play-in game, or get no action at all in such a high leverage contest on the heels of his post-Jakob Poeltl trade struggles? Sean and Katie discuss all that, plus a very important piece of Mascot News. Welcome to the show, Douglas Fur!

In Episosde 1360, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 125-110 win over the Denver Nuggets in a game that saw Fred VanVleet go off for 36 points, and the Raptors starting lineup of VanVleet, Scottie Barnes, O.G. Anunoby, Pascal Siakam and Jakob Poeltl continue their run of absolutely destroying teams when they're on the floor. Off the top, Sean digs into the play of the starters, and why despite it not being ideal to have to lean so heavily on one five-man group, why not just let it rip with that group for the rest of the season for as many minutes as possible. A +18.8 NET Rating over 150 minutes is nothing to sneeze at! Next, Sean digs into the recent poor play of Precious Achiuwa, and why a bit of time away from the rotation (and maybe even the G-League?) might be a worthwhile decision for Nick Nurse and the Raptors to make. Achiuwa was a-13 in 14 minutes in a game the Raptors won by 15, and he looks pretty lost on both ends. Maybe Christian Koloko should get a look as the regular backup center? Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (O.G. Anunoby's putback dunk / dunk of the year candidate), the Bad (Will Barton not really being a point guard) and the Hmmm (Toronto's pursuit of the 8th-seed and the Atlanta Hawks) to round out the show.

In Episode 1359, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to Nick Nurse's comments on Monday about moving Precious Achiuwa back to the wing, Chrisitan Koloko potentiall drawing in as the Toronto Raptors' backup centre, and why Scottie Barnes might be the best guy for the job. Off the top, Sean talks about why it makes sense to simplify Achiuwa's role, what makes him more suited to the wing that the centre position right now, and why Koloko might be a smart option as the backup five if the Raptors plan to lean fully into defense to drive their performance for the rest of the season, with the offense looking like something of a lost cause. Next, Sean details why Scottie Barnes might actually be the best choice to play backup centre considering his early season success operating as a screener, roller and middle-of-the-floor operator. Would a return to Koloko in that role signal a lessened bit of urgency to climb up the play-in standings for the Raptors? Lastly, Sean answers some listener questions on the trouble Nick Nurse has had staggering starters with his bench, the Siakam-Fred duo and whether the Raptors will exercise patience with them as the leaders of the team this summer & much more!

In Episode 1358, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' disappointing 122-112 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night in which O.G. Anunoby and Scottie Barnes both turned in outstanding performances in the losing effort. Off the top, Sean digs into the difficult reality facing the Raptors: they don't have a whole lot of time to get this thing figured out, and despite the incredible performance of the starting lineup since the Fred VanVleet-Anunoby-Barnes-Pascal Siakam-Jakob Poeltl group was put together, difficult decisions may still have to be made as the Raptors' front office has complicated their off-season plans by giving themselves so little time to get answers about this group. Next, Sean looks at O.G. Anunoby's outstanding 31-point, 5-steal, 12/14 outburst against the Lakers that saw him guard Anthony Davis wonderfully, while chipping in on offense with devastating efficiency in a role that he's optimized for. Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (Scottie Barnes career-high night), the Bad (Scottie and the bench) and the Hmm (What's Gary Trent Jr.'s market actually going to look like this summer?) to round out the show.

In Episode 1357, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to react to Fred VanVleet's slap-on-the-wrist fine, discuss Pascal Siakam's recent slump and preview the final 15 games for the Toronto Raptors. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about the $30K penalty handed out to VanVleet for his incredible undressing of Ben Taylor and the NBA's officiating before discussing exactly what success might look like for the Raptors between now and the end of the season. How does the season-long search for a sensible hierarchy, along with the progression of Toronto's struggling offense play into the question of success? And how could the outcomes over the next 15 game determine the futures of key members of the team, like Pascal Siakam? Next, they chat about Siakam's slump in the games since Jakob Poeltl's arrival, whether this is short term pain that will bear fruit in the long term, or if it's possible that his lessened impact as a less dominant on-ball player could portend a summer deal that sees the franchise's most notable star moved elsewhere? Lastly, they examine the types of results they need to see to deem the close to the year a success, if that's even possible at all, and check the temperature on their confidence in the front office's ability to thread the needle this off-season in what is going to be a pivotal summer for the franchise.

In Episode 1356, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds to break down the Toronto Raptors' 108-100 loss to Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night, as well as Fred VanVleet's incredible post-game rant against Ben Taylor, and the NBA's other officials who love to make themselves into the main character of the games they call. Off the top, Sean and Jamar dig into the Raptors' ugly offensive effort against LA, in which they shot 24/64 from two-point range, and failed to outpace the Clips despite taking 25 more field goal attempts than their opponents. Are the issues with the offense since Jakob Poeltl's arrival something that can be resolved with more time spent playing together? Or is it an ominous sign of things to come? Next, Sean and Jamar react to Fred VanVleet's profanity-laced tirade about Ben Taylor, and the subset of NBA officials who he think are taking their authority too far. Does he have a point? Lastly, they run through The Good (O.G. Anunoby's strong performance), The Bad (Scottie Barnes' poor shooting touch from two-point range, Precious Achiuwa looking lost) and the Hmmm (Missing Kawhi Leonard, Toronto's 0-3 record in games where they out-attempt opponents by 25 shots or more) to round out the show!

In Episode 1355, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heinl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to take look back at the first 10 games for the Toronto Raptors since acquiring Jakob Poeltl at the Trade Deadline and ask the simple question: what have we learned about the new-look Raps? Off the top, Sean and Katie discuss how the Raptors have moved into a state of flux in terms of their playing style and the way it's changed since Poeltl arrived, and why that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Plus, they dig into Pascal Siakam's drop-off in usage and efficiency and whether it's just a short-term adjustment period or a concering trend tied to his fit alongside Toronto's new big man. Next, they discuss the way Poeltl has helped improve the defense, and provided some validation to the Raptors front office and their hunch that this team was just one real big man away from making a whole lot more sense. All that and more, including Fred VanVleet's standing with the team becoming a little bit more clarfied, and whether or not there is now something for the Raptors to build upon next season as they attempt to build their way back to top-of-the-East relevance.
