Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors took down the very tanky Utah Jazz 143-127 on Monday night to improve to 40-31 on the season. In Episode 2067, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about Scottie Barnes' big game (20-7-10 on 8/10 shooting) while the Raptors were without Immanuel Quickley, Brandon Ingram and Jakob Poeltl, gets into how Barnes has emerged as the team's most reliably half court creative engine, and why the team's offense in the moments that matter most down the stretch of the season needs to reflect that. Next, Sean talks about the Raptors signing former first-overall pick Markelle Fultz to a 10-day contract, his mixed bag of a debut for the team in Utah, whether he poses any thread to Jamal Shead's status as the team's backup point guard, and why this signing further illuminates the need for the Raptors to find more guard help this summer. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (The Magic and Heat stink again!), The Bad (The Utah Jazz' very existence) and The Hmmm (is Jamison Battle going to swing a playoff game with his shooting?) to round out the show.

The Toronto Raptors lost games to the Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns over the weekend, as they continue to sharpen themselves ahead of the NBA playoffs. In Episode 2066, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down his big takeaways from the Raptors 0-2 weekend, discusses why this stretch drive of playing meaningful basketball games can only be a good thing when it comes to readying the young Raptors for the postseason gauntlet ahead, even if they lose some games to teams like Nikola Jokic's Nuggets along the way. Next, Sean digs into why Ja'Kobe Walter's recent surge is a major development for a Raptors team in desperate need of both shooting and bench production. Is Walter one of the top-7 players in a theoretical Raptors playoff rotation? Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Scottie-run offense), The Bad (Jamal Shead) and the Hmmm (Collin Murray-Boyles back?!) to round out the show.

The Toronto Raptors are in a super close race for the 5th and 6th seeds in the East with the Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat and Orlando Magic. In Episode 2065, Sean Woodley checks in with David Ramil (Locked On Heat), Philip Rossman-Reich (Locked On Magic) and Brad Rowland (Locked On Hawks) for a deeper look at the teams vying to knock Toronto out of the playoff spot they've held for the majority of the NBA season. Off the top, Sean and David chat about why the Heat seem to have found their groove after a roller coaster season, the Tyler Herro/Norman Powell conundrum and how much playoff equity the Heat might have should they make the dance. Next, Sean and Philip dig into how the Magic rediscovered their defense, and the reasons why the Magic have had one of the more disappointing seasons of any team in the NBA. Lastly, Sean and Brad discuss whether the Hawks will ever lose a game again, how much of their recent heater is schedule related, and whether they could put a scare into any of the top seeds if they make the postseason.

The Toronto Raptors cruised to a 139-109 win over the Chicago Bulls, who are terrible. In Episode 2064, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl recap the win over the Bulls, discuss whether they team has fully flipped the switch after last week's season low point in New Orleans or if they still have some things they need to tidy up, take a look at the absolutely dominance of the starting five of Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, Jakob Poeltl, Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett since Poeltl's return from injury, and runs through The Good (Ja'Kobe Walter, Jamal Shead's passing), The Bad (The Bulls' whole deal, some moments of sloppiness) and The Hmmm (Can Mamu do it against good teams, Jak's continued progress).

The Toronto Raptors find themselves back in the 5th seed with the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat both on two-game losing streaks -- are they once again the favourites to finish 5th in the East? In Episode 2063, Sean Woodley and James Herbert (CBS Sports) chat about the race for the 5th seed between the Raptors, Magic, Heat, Hawks and sort of the Sixers and Hornets, before doing a draft of the players on each of the six teams in contention to nab one of the East's final two seeds. Does Scottie Barnes get selected ahead of Jalen Johnson, Paolo Banchero and Bam Adebayo? Will James only select players from his beloved Hornets? Why are there so few guards on all of these teams?! Tune in to find out!

Is Scottie Barnes having the best defensive season in the history of the Toronto Raptors franchise? In Episode 2062, Sean Woodley goes solo to field mailbag questions from you, the listeners, about Scottie's remarkable defensive campaign, RJ Barrett's importance to the offense and expansion! 

Off the top, Sean details why Barnes stands along among Raptors players when it comes to individual defensive seasons, and why it's not even a particularly close race between Barnes' 2025-26 season and the next best year a defender has had in a Raps uniform. Next, Sean talks about whether RJ Barrett is the most important player to the Raptors offense, the statistical case that says he just might be, and where he might cede the honour to one of Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes or Immanuel Quickley. Plus, is there a case for the Raptors to try and game themselves into the 8th seed to take on Detroit in round one? Lastly, Sean digs into some questions about NBA Expansion with the news that the league will soon vote on whether to bring franchises to Seattle and Las Vegas. Is expansion good? Which team should move East? And who are the 8 players you'd protect on the current roster in an expansion draft?
