Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 1009 of Locked On Raptors, Sean Woodley is joined by Toronto music writer Sarah MacDonald to assign some music listening homework to the members of the 2021-22 Raptors in order to better help them prepare for the season. Does Fred VanVleet need to be wary of the perils of hanging on to a past relationship? Which album would best allow Pascal Siakam to move on from a tough past 18 months? And is there an album that Kyle Lowry should be tuning into as he makes his way to Miami? We discuss all those players, plus Chris Boucher, Khem Birch and Ish Wainright in part one of two. Come back tomorrow for our musical selections for the second half of Toronto's roster!

In Episode 1008, Sean and Vivek Jacob discuss the key notes of the Raptors' 2021-22 schedule before talking about Fred VanVleet's readiness to take over as the face of the Raptors franchise. Off the top they discuss ways they'd like to see the Raptors mark the occasion if in fact the Raptors return home for good on October 20th. Then, they turn their attention to Fred VanVleet and whether or not he's ready to take over as the Raptors' leader both on and off the floor. They chat about how much of a strong off-court presence VanVleet appears to be and why he should be very much equipped to take over for Kyle Lowry as the team's leader away from the floor, before turning their attention to how his game will be suited to the lead guard role he is set to assume.

In Episode 1006, Sean and Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) team up to discuss their final takeaways from Vegas Summer League after the Raptors concluded their tournament with a win over the Nets on Tuesday before discussing the finally dead Pascal Siakam rumour train. Off the top they dig into Scottie Barnes' efforts in Vegas, and why they were both so encouraged by the feel, confidence and defensive upside Barnes showed over his four games of action. Then, they chat about other notables from Summer League, including Dalano Banton (good) and Freddie Gillespie (not so good). Lastly, they chat all about Pascal Siakam, and what seems like the end of the summer-long trade rumours that have swirled around him, thanks to a piece from Sam Amick.

In Episosde 1004, Sean offers some thoughts on the Raptors' third Summer League game before chatting with Katie Heindl about Kyle Lowry's final two years in Toronto. Off the top, Sean gets into the performances of Scottie Barnes, Precious Achiuwa, Ish Wainright and Freddie Gillespie in a 92-76 win over the Summer Rockets. Next, Katie jumps back in to talk about Kyle Lowry's 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons with the Raptors. The title defense season just might be his masterpiece, and if nothing else, at least the Tampa season offered everyone a chance to fully appreciate every last morsel of Kyle Lowry's tenure with the club.

In Episode 1003, Sean and Katie Heindl chat about the Raptors' second Summer League game against the Warriors before digging into Kyle Lowry's adaptive 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons with Toronto. Off the top they talk about Precious Achiuwa's promising debut, the delightful weirdness of Toronto's Summer League team, and the group's very promising vibes. Then it's Lowry talk time. First, Sean and Katie discuss the 2017-18 Culture Reset season, during which Lowry scaled back his own role in order to help the team grow. Then, it's all about the title season, from the disjointed start, to the tandem steal of the ball from DeMar DeRozan with Kawhi Leonard, to the legendary playoff run he put together, especially in the final two rounds. Kyle Lowry Over Everything, man.

In Episode 1002, Sean and Joe Wolfond (The Score, Pound the Rock) reflect on Kyle Lowry's peak with the Raptors between 2014 and 2017. They kick things off with a look at the 2014-15 season that began as well as any season in Raptors history on the heels of Lowry's historic decision to stay with the Raptors, and dig into the sour taste that season left in people's mouths as Lowry's slow physical decline that year led the Raptors to a sweep at the hands of the Wizards in the first round. Next, they talk about the 2015-16 campaign, during which Lowry put up more signature performances than in any of his nine seasons with the team, and earned himself his first (and somehow only) All-NBA nod. To wrap up, Sean and Joe discuss Lowry's injury-interrupted 2016-17 season, wherein he played 60 of the finest games he would ever play as a Raptor, only to head into another uncertain free agency period following another disheartening sweep at the hands of the Cavs.

In Episode 1001, Sean and Imman Adan (Dishes & Dimes, Basketball News) team up to take listener questions all about the Greatest Raptor of All Time: Kyle Lowry. They open up with a quick thought on Goran Dragic's comments about Toronto, before pivoting into Lowry-themed questions about the eventual Lowry statue in Toronto and what stance Kyle should be in when he's immortalized in the city, his greatest plays as a Raptor, his eventual return to Toronto, and whether Daryl Morey still thinks he won the Lowry trade back in 2012.
