The Toronto Raptors season is over after falling to the Cleveland Cavaliers 114-102 in Game 7 of their first round playoff series. In Episode 2102, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to the loss, dig into why it really came down the Raptors just not having enough functioning bodies to withstand the Cavs discovering that they could in fact play with some spine, and why the Raptors should be commended for giving Cleveland everything they could handle. Next, Sean talks about why the Game 7 loss changes absolutely nothing about the big picture success that this season was. Toronto achieved every goal it set out to achieve and then some, and learned a whole lot along the way. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Scottie Barnes), The Bad (Jarrett Allen working CMB and Jakob Poeltl) and The Hmm (the parallels to 2014, and why this version of the Raptors is in even better shape than the Raptors that lost to the Nets in 7 were) to round out the show.

Zulfi Sheikh recaps Game 7 of the Toronto Raptors 114-102 Game 7 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. A gut punch to be sure, after going into the second half tied, the Raptors lost the rope. A 38-19 third quarter sealed their fates. Yet, the process toward nothing may have meant everything.

The Toronto Raptors are going back to Cleveland for Game 7 thanks to RJ Barrett's miraculous heroics at the end of overtime and one of the craziest shots in franchise history. In Episode 2101, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob react to Barrett's incredible bounce-in three to seal the 112-110 OT win for a Raptors team that just has no quit, and break down the rest of an absolute thriller. Off the top, they talk about their reactions to the Barrett shot, the incredibly satisfying narrative juice behind it, the outstanding defensive sequence that set up the opportunity to for the Raptors to take the lead and how deserving RJ is of a moment like that. Next, they talk about Scottie Barnes' brillient 25-7-14-3-3 game and discuss why his superstar leap in these playoffs has totally changed the outlook for the franchise. Plus, a round of What Sound Did You Make in response to Barnes' incredible spin and dunk in transition in the second quarter. Lastly, they run through The Good (Raptors player development, Peel Region), The Bad (defensive rebounding) and The Hmm (can they really do the thing in Game 7? (Yes)) to round out the show.

In Episode 2100, Sean Woodley and Es Baraheni (The Athletic NBA Daily) to break down what the Raptors will need to do in order to overcome Brandon Ingram's potential absence in Game 6, and what kind of game they'll need from Scottie Barnes to extend this thing to a seventh game.

Lastly, how can the Raptors contain Dennis Schroder if the Cavs go heavy on 3-guard looks, and a Stupid Little Game about which Raptors have a chance to rise to the occasion in an elimination game.

The Toronto Raptors led Game 5 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, until they didn't -- was it a missed opportunity, or an encouraging road loss ahead of Friday's Game 6? In Episode 2099, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl discuss whether the Raptors were culpable for their Game 5 loss on the road, or if they simply came up on the wrong end of a whole lot of good fortune going the Cavs way. Maybe a little bit of both? Next, they talk about Brandon Ingram's injury laying bare just how necessary he is for the team, even if it's maddening to watch him sometimes, and discuss Scottie Barnes' taking a knock that sapped his burst in the second half. Can the Raptors win Game 6 if Ingram is out, or if Barnes isn't able to go at full tilt? Lastly, they run through The Good (Jamison Battle, Ja'Kobe Walter), The Bad (pick-and-roll defense, Dennis Schroder's revenge) and The Hmm (how different would this series be with Immanuel Quickley? Why so chippy all of a sudden?) to round out the show.

The Toronto Raptors take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in a pivotal Game 5 tonight -- and Jamal Shead is a huge reason why the Raptors are in the position they're in. In Episode 2098, Sean Woodley goes solo to answer mailbag questions from you, the freaks! Off the top, Sean digs into why Jamal Shead's incredible impact despite almost zero offensive utility has been the most surprising development of the first round so far. Plus, has Scottie Barnes been the best player in the series? And has Collin Murray-Boyles beaten out Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen to be the best big man in the series to date? Next, Sean fields a question about how these playoffs might alter the shape of the Raptors' offseason, whether RJ Barrett's play in the series has made Sean more comfortable with the idea of extending him this summer, and whether he'd rather see the Orlando Magic or Detroit Pistons in a hypothetical second round series. Lastly, Sean answers questions about whether the Raptors should be after a guard in the playoffs, Brandon Ingram's impact, names for Sean's household cooking tools and which playoff series around the league have been Sean's favourite before offering some final thoughts on why the NBA's proposed lottery reforms are good.
