Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 899, Sean, Vivek Jacob and Sahal Abdi check in on their pre-season Raptors over/unders and prop bets at the halfway point of the 2020-21 campaign. They check in on how their predictions about Pascal Siakam's scoring, Fred VanVleet and Kyle Lowry's across-the-board impact, and Matt Thomas' three-point bombing are holding up, while also hypothesizing how some of the more unknowable results -- like for those bets surrounding trades, awards, and playoff series wins -- are on track to finish up.

In Episode 897, Sean chats with Samson Folk (Raptors Republic) to chat about his recent piece on OG Anunoby's development, particularly on the offensive end of the floor. They first dig into the areas in which he has greatly improved this season, including as a spot-up shooter and as a chaotic and brutish driver and finisher. Next, they chat about the elements of his game that have yet to come along, most notably his pull-up shooting as a primary ball-handler. Lastly, they project forward both within this season and beyond, and consider what kind of lasting impact Toronto's lean into small-ball this year might affect his long-term trajectory.

In Episode 896, Sean goes solo to break down the Raptors' 129-105 loss to the Pistons for which they were without Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn, Patrick McCaw and half a dozen coaches. This was barely even a game. Kyle Lowry and Norman Powell were awesome, which was cool. Chris Boucher and Aaron Baynes were fine, if misused. Everyone else was not good! Most of them didn't even score! But hey, this is the NBA Adam Silver wants, baby.

In Episde 894, Sean and Vivek Jacob recap a Raptors win over the Rockets on Friday before discussing COVID postponements and Victor Oladipo's potential availability. They dig first into Kyle Lowry's triple-double performance in the win on Friday that took place with Pascal Siakam and six coaches sidelined for COVID protocols, before diving into the team's game against Chicago getting cancelled on Sunday due to a lack of availability on Toronto's ends. Lastly, they consider Victory Oladipo as a potential trade target, and weight the pros of cons of him vs. Norman Powell both this season and beyond.

In Episode 893, Sean goes solo to talk about the Raptors' 116-108 loss to Miami in Kyle Lowry's return to the lineup before taking a look at the newly release second half schedule. He starts out by saying a not at all fond farewell to the Miami Heat for another regular season, after they continued to be a thorn in Toronto's -- and Pascal Siakam's -- side on Wednesday, while also recognizing the brilliance of Kyle Lowry after he put up 24-7-8 on 9-of-13 shooting in his first game back after missing the last four-plus. Next, Sean takes a look at, dare I say, some signs of optimism as it relates to the Raptors solving Miami's annoying zone. OG Anunoby is the key, and if not for a few ill-timed screw-ups, the Raptors might have picked it apart well enough to win. Lastly, Sean takes a glance at the newly released second-half schedule for the team, which portends a lot of winning over the next month or so if current patterns hold.

In Episode 892, Sean goes solo to break down the Raptors' 109-102 loss to the Sixers on Sunday night. Off the top, Sean addresses how the Raptors' offense sputtered despite some great playmaking work by Pascal Siakam, and why Fred VanVleet's off night proves without a doubt that the Raptors needs Kyle Lowry back in the lineup to be their best selves. Then, Sean talks about how the defense once again continued to make strides in recapturing its former identity, with a shout out to Aron Baynes in particular for his work on Joel Embiid. Lastly, Sean talks about the Raptors being shut out of the All-Star festivities (for now), and we hear an all-time clip from Fred VanVleet in response. It's very much okay that no Raptors are going to the Petri dish game in Atlanta.

In Episode 891, Sean and Katie Heindl dig into some questions from you, the listener! Questions include: why did it take Nick Nurse so long to realize DeAndre' Bembry is the truth? Which player on the Raptors, current or past, looks the most like an actual raptor? How have Sean and Katie's expectations of the team changed since the start of the season? After about a half a season, are the Raptors new jerseys good? And of course, one question about Kyle Lowry trade rumours leads Sean and Katie to once again remind everyone that the Raptors should not be in the business of trading Kyle Lowry.

In Episode 890, Sean and Vivek Jacob recap the Raptors' 110-93 win over the Sixers -- their fourth win in a row, which moves them to above .500 for the first time this season. They first dig into Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet, who exhibited their immense growth as initiators as they combined for 46 points and 17 assists next to just two turnovers in the win. Next they dig into how the Raptors forced Joel Embiid into a 6-of-20 shooting line, why Nurse coached a hell of a game, and the second straight game of uncomfortably solid play from Terence Davis. Lastly, they take a big picture look at where the 16-15 Raptors now stand, and address the question: is this year's team in line to be better come playoff time than last year's 53-19 team?
