Lastly, they have a little conversation about Chris Boucher and his ideal role within the Raptors, before reflecting on 2021, and asking whether 2022 will be a better year for Raptors fans than 2021 was.

In Episode 1087, Sean Woodley chats with Chelsea Leite (Raptors HQ) about the Toronto Raptors' 114-109 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. Off the top they dig into the incredible return to play for Pascal Siakam, whose 28-6-8 night on 11-21 shooting should go down as one of his very best games in his three seasons as a top option for the team. They also chat about the ways in which the Raptors defended Joel Embiid, and why even though he scored 36 points, the Raptors' game plan was pretty sound. Next, they dig into the play of DJ Wilson, who was a bit of a heroic figure upon entering the game in the second half, and could potentially be playing himself into a longer-term stint with the team. In addition, they analyze the continually dismal play of Malachi Flynn. Lastly, they hand out the Dude of the Game to Chris Boucher for his 28 & 19 effort, before making some comments on where this team could be headed once fully healthy.

In Episode 1086, Sean Woodley chats with Mark Schindler (Premium Hoops, Fear the Sword, Indy Cornows) about Fred VanVleet and his candidacy for this year's Eastern Conference All-Star team. Off the top, they chat about the state of the Eastern Conference's team and run through their respective locks to make the team before laying out the reasons why VanVleet should be near the top of the list of non-locks to make the team. Then they chat about his competitors in the race to make the team, including Darius Garland of the Cleveland Cavaliers, LaMelo Ball of the Charlotte Hornets and Jrue Holiday of the Milwaukee Bucks. To close things out, Sean and Mark discuss the Toronto Raptors' more fringe candidates: Scottie Barnes, who is probably still a year away, and Pascal Siakam, who just might be closer than you think to being in the running.

Next, they chat about the efforts of Juwan Morgan, Tremont Waters and Daniel Oturu in their Raptors debuts, before pondering whether a regular Raptors roster spot could be in the cards for one of the four hardship signings. Lastly, they hand out a Dude of the Game award to DJ Wilson, who was definitely the most impressive of the recent call-ups.

In Episode 1083, Sean Woodley and Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic, TSN) continue running through a handful of Raptors-inspired Would You Rather scenarios. In today's Part 2, they dive into trade-related Would You Rather scenarios -- from which position their ideal superstar trade target would play, to which member of the Raptors they'd most be willing to part with to land staid superstar. Plus, a chance to remove the memory of the Tampa seasons entirely -- but at an incredible price. And to close things out, a question about whether it would be preferable to attempt to score on or prevent Scottie Barnes from scoring on a single possession for all the marbles.

To close things out, they discuss Fred VanVleet's All-Star worthy season to date, and compare his work this year to some of the very best seasons Kyle Lowry had in Toronto. All that, plus another Dude of the Game is handed out!
