Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 1099, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 104-99 loss to the Miami Heat in a grimy slugfest of a game on Monday night. Off the top, Sean talks about how the game was another bit of proof that the Raptors can certainly hang with the league's best as currently constructed, but are going to need either a deadline move or a resurgence from someone else on the bench if the Raptors are going to win more games against elite teams than they lose. Next, Sean runs through some of his observations from the game, including Pascal Siakam incredible playmaking and defense on Monday night, Fred VanVleet getting a look at what the post-season could hold in store for him, Scottie Barnes returning to form even with some mistakes baked in, and Precious Achiuwa's wildness on the offensive end. Lastly, Sean hands out the Dude of the Game to Chris Boucher, who had 23 points and 10 boards against the Heat, and just might be too good for the Raptors trade before the deadline.

In Episode 1098, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) recap the Toronto Raptors' loss to the Detroit Pistons on Friday and their huge win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Off the top, they dig into their biggest takeaways from the weekend. Vivek says the Raptors defense is the key to unlocking the best version of this group, while Sean thinks this weekend (and the games leading into it) prove that this is a team worth adding to ahead of the deadline. Next, Sean and Vivek discuss Pascal Siakam's 30-10-10 triple-double against the Bucks, and examine how the Raptors' backbone play -- he Siakam-Fred VanVleet pick-and-roll -- has reached such levels of unguardability. Lastly, Sean and Vivek hand out Dude of the Game awards for the two games over the weekend, and discuss how the Raptors and Bucks could match up in a playoff series.

In Episode 1097, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl for a mailbag episode!

In Episode 1095, Sean Woodley and Joseph Casciaro (The Score, Pound the Rock) about the Toronto Raptors' 99-95 loss to the league-best Phoenix Suns. Off the top they chat about whether the feel-good loss in which the Raptors showed a ton of fight is an indicator that their recent six-game winning streak was not fool's gold, and examine the trio of OG Anunoby, Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet, all of whom were excellent against Phoenix, and try to determine where they rank among leading trios in the Eastern Conference. They also chat about the team's offensive and defensive profiles, and predict regression to the mean in both instances. Plus, some interesting clutch time Raptors stats, some love for Chris Boucher and Justin Champagnie's high-energy work off the bench, and the first ever non-human Dude of the Game!

In Episode 1094, Sean Woodley goes solo to offer a primer for NBA trade season from the Toronto Raptors perspective. Are the Raptors buyers, sellers, or something in between? What kind of deals might the team be in the market to make? What can they get for Goran Dragic after having him sit out the majority of the season? Is Chris Boucher playing too well to be moved, or is it a perfect time to sell high while he's at the peak of his powers? Plus, Sean dives into the positions of most need for the team, examines a couple fake trades for Terrence Ross of the Orlando Magic and Eric Gordon of the Houston Rockets, and details why the Raptors absolutely do not need to add a center at this moment in time. All that and more!

In Episode 1093, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) react to the Toronto Raptors' weekend wins over the Utah Jazz and New Orleans Pelicans. They first chat about Fred VanVleet's scintillating 37-10-10 triple-double on Friday night, which included 20 points in a span of just over four minutes in the third quarter, and try to place it among the all-time individual quarters in Raptors history. Next they chat about how VanVleet and Pascal Siakam helped power the Raptors past the Pelicans on Sunday, and try to determine the ceiling for a Raptors team led by the current versions of Siakam and VanVleet we're seeing. Then, they hand out the Dude of the Game for both Friday and Sunday's games and reminisce a little about Jonas Valanciunas after his return to Toronto.

In Episode 1092, Sean Woodley chats with Katie Heindl (DIME, Yahoo! Sports Canada) about the Toronto Raptors winning streak and what parts of it can be sustainable as the schedule inevitably gets more difficult. Off the top they chat about tonight's game with the Jazz, who will be playing with a skeleton roster with Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Mike Conley, Royce O'Neale, Joe Ingles, Jordan Clarkson, Rudy Gay and Hassan Whiteside all unavailable. Next, they take a look at the Raptors' winning streak and discuss why the uptick in the health of the half-court offense should hold up as the schedule toughens thanks to the play of Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet. Lastly, they chat about Toronto's recent rebounding uptick, and try to determine whether or not it will sustain. Is it a product of an easy schedule? Or are the supersized Raptors simply now big enough to bludgeon teams on the defensive boards? All that, plus a little soapbox rant about All-Star voting by Sean.

In Episode 1091, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 117-111 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. Off the top, Sean digs into Pascal Siakam's incredible 33-5-6 night on 13/23 shooting and points out how he's managed to combine the very best elements of his last two seasons into one complete and terrifying package this season. Then, Sean chats about Scottie Barnes, who turned in probably his worst game as a rookie so far, and is at an interesting crossroads when it comes to his role within the healthy version of the Raptors. Lastly, Sean hands out the Dude of the Game to a very deserving Justin Champagnie, who should probably be a rotation staple for Nick Nurse at this point.

In Episode 1090, Sean Woodley is joined by Ashley Docking to chat about the Toronto Raptors' 129-104 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night. Off the top, Sean and Ashley talk about Fred VanVleet, who put up 33 points in just three quarters, continuing his strong run of play, and examine whether or not an even better version of VanVleet could be possible now that the Raptors are mostly healthy and freeing him on the on-ball burden he's carried all season. Then, they chat about some of the weirdo lineups Nick Nurse is trying out now that he has all of his guys on hand, before chatting about whether they are growing more comfortable with the lack of a center now that the team is leaning into future-ball. Lastly, they hand out the Dude of the Game to a guy who just knows where to stand.
