Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 1267, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 98-90 win over the Miami Heat in their rematch on Monday night. Off the top, Sean digs into his biggest takeaway from the game, and discusses how the Raptors' killer formula for fourth quarter success was on display as Toronto outscored Miami 27-9 over the final nine minutes of action. Pascal Siakam's playmaking under intense defensive pressure, O.G. Anunoby's lockdown defense, and Precious Achiuwa's rebounding were particular highlights, as Toronto overcame the absence of Scottie Barnes to pull out the grimy win. Next, Sean discusses the return of Chris Boucher, the benching of Thad Young, and why it might be time to replace Dalano Banton's minutes in the rotation with more work for Malachi Flynn. Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (early season tests), the Bad (Precious Achiuwa's offensive execution) and the Hmmm (Christian Koloko passing from the nail) from the Raptors' second win of the season.

In Episode 1266, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to recap the Toronto Raptors' 0-2 weekend against the Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat in which they lost Scottie Barnes to a sprained ankle, but saw Pascal Siakam play like a true superstar. Off the top, Sean and Vivek discuss Siakam's incredible weekend, which featured a 37-12-11 triple-double against Brooklyn, and another near-triple-double (23-8-9) on Saturday night in Miami. If Siakam's gonna play this way, the Raptors are going to be just fine. Next, they examine the Scottie Barnes ankle injury, his performance through two-plus games to open the year, and how OG Anunoby's creation is going to be even more under the microscope if Barnes misses time. Lastly, Sean and Vivek run through their Good, Bad and Hmmm from the weekend, including the killer Nets broadcast team of Ian Eagle and Sarah Kustok, Siakam's mid-range shooting, Dalano Banton's struggles in the halfcourt, Malachi Flynn's catch-and-shoot work and much more!

Off the top, Sean digs into the VanVleet and Siakam extension talks and details why it's probably nothing to worry about that they did not get done before the season. Siakam's in line for a Super Max with another All-NBA season, and Fred's in line to get a huge bag. The Raps will probably figure it out. Next, Sean talks about the potential returns of Chris Boucher and Khem Birch and how they could either help or complicate the Raptors' bench rotation, which was a bit of a sore spot in the opener. Lastly, Sean hands out this season's first Dude of the Week as the classic segment lives on in a new form. This week, Sean digs into Gary Trent Jr.'s search for balance within the Raptors system, and discusses why his performance this year is one of the most intriguing and important storylines to watch for the Raptors this year.

In Episode 1259, Sean Woodley is joined by Freddie Rivas (Confederacy of Dunks) to play a game of Toronto Raptors Lineup Roulette! The conceit is simple: 11 Raptors rotation players names get thrown in a hat, Sean pulls out five names at a time, and we discuss whether or not that lineup is worth a Toot (it's good) or Boot (it's bad!). How might Dalano Banton help the Raptors test the limits of non-shooting long guys? Can Otto Porter Jr. instantly improve every single lineup he's inserted into, and is he perhaps a stealth option to start some games? Will Khem Birch's traditional center skillset make him a viable option alongside the Raptors' starters? And what are the best iterations of smaller groups featuring Fred VanVleet and Gary Trent Jr.? All those questions and more are examined via one of our most convoluted concepts yet!

In Episode 1258, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME) to talk about the Toronto Raptors players they are rooting for the hardest in this upcoming NBA season. Off the top, they dig into why they're both eager to see O.G. Anunoby succeed on both ends of the floor this season, but in particular on th defensive end, where he stands a chance of earning of the end-of-season hardware he's deserved for ages. Plus, Sean details why he's keen to watch Pascal Siakam turn in an encore performance of his amazing 2021-22. Next, Katie pinpoints Otto Porter Jr. as a particular rooting interest of hers, and Sean delves into why he continues to be very excited by the prospect of Sixth Man Gunner Gary Trent Jr. Lastly, Katie talks about her high hopes for the back-end roster guys, including DJ Wilson, who may or may not even make the team -- but who's to say he's not worth pulling for anyway! Sean then outlines the case for rooting for Malachi Flynn, even if his game isn't especially flashy and his long-term spot in the team is very much up in the air.
