Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 791, Sean and Vivek Jacob kick off the "Raptors in Review" series of episodes in which they'll look at the seasons of each member of the Raptors before projecting their arcs forward. Today it's all about Matt Thomas, baby! They start out by looking at Thomas' progression throughout his rookie season, all the way up to his playing of real minutes in Game 7 against the Celtics. Next they turn their attention to next season and discuss how they think Thomas will be used in the Raptors' 2020-21 rotation, as well as what it might take for Thomas to get a shot in the 3-Point Contest if and when there is a 2021 All-Star weekend. They wrap things up by choosing one of a handful of listener questions about Thomas to dive into: does Thomas' defensive improvement make Norman Powell more expendable via trade? All that and more! Chris Boucher is up on Thursday.

In Episode 790, Sean and Katie Heindl continue answering your bizarre, late-night listener questions in part two of the mailbag episode that started on Monday. They kick things off by discussing which teams/cities they'd like to see the Raptors engender a true, sports-hatin' rivalry with. Next, they discuss the destinations they would least like to see Fred VanVleet land in free agency, and address a question about ... Nikola Jokic's butt? Lastly, they discuss their go-to Popeye's orders and imagine which Raptors would be most suited to a Popeye's endorsement campaign. Make OG the spokesman for every product in the world.

In Episode 789, Sean and Katie Heindl field a collection of wonderfully weird questions sent in by you, the listener, in the wee hours of Monday morning. They kick things off by discussing which foods each of the Raptors most look like, with Nikola Jokic as inspiration. Next they stick with the food theme and try to concoct some custom Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavours inspired by some members of the Raptors. They also discuss which former Raptor most embodies the spirit of a Plumlee brother. I told ya, it's a weird one. Enjoy!

In Episode 788, Sean, Vivek Jacob and Sahal Abdi run through their preseason Raptors over/under and prop bets from before the 2019-20 season began four years ago. Can Vivek defend his back-to-back reign as over/unders champion? Did Serge Ibaka not throwing any punches this season cost anyone valuable points? How did the Raptors' picking up a handful of season-ending awards alter the status of their bets when last we checked on them in January? You'll find out all that and more in today's episode!

In Episode 787, Sean goes solo to react to Pascal Siakam being named to the All-NBA Second Team and to break down Masai Ujiri's season-ending state of the union address. The show opens up with some very high praise for Siakam and the season that earned him All-NBA recognition, before Sean talks about how Kyle Lowry was snubbed, and pretty egregiously so. Next Sean addresses Masai Ujiri's presser, in which he revealed he hasn't yet spoken to MLSE about a contract extension. Please, relax. And lastly, Sean addresses some other notes from Ujiri's presser, regarding Fred VanVleet, social justice in the bubble and much more. Steve Simmons should be ashamed of himself.

In Episode 786, Sean hits on the Nick Nurse contract extension and Terence Davis' All-Rookie Second Team selection before checking in with TJ McBride (Mile High Sports) to get Raptors fans up to speed what they need to know to become die hard Nuggets supporters. Sean hits on the Nurse news first, and also asks for a little less paranoia when it comes to the contract statuses of Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster before pointing out that despite a rough bubble, Terence Davis is on track to be a legit piece of the Raptors' mix going forward. Then TJ joins the show, first to laugh at the Clippers for their hilarious and embarrassing exit at the hands of Denver, before giving Raps fans a crash course in how to be a Nuggets fan. Who are the whipping boys? Who is the guy behind whom you must throw your unflinching support? When will Bol Bol be an All-NBA first team guard? We discuss all that and more! Jamal Murray forever.

In Episode 785, Sean and Blake Murphy (The Athletic) talk all about the impending free agencies of Fred VanVleet, Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol. First off they dive into the very complex case of Fred VanVleet. How much is he in line to make? How do you balance the desire to see him get paid a ton of money with the desire to keep the books flexible in 2021? Will he value sticking with a winning team over signing with a crappy team with a bunch of money to burn? All that, and much more in the first two segments. Sean and Blake then close out the show by discussing what the plan should be for Gasol and Ibaka, whether one, both or neither are likely to return, and why they are both really only considerations on one-year deals for now.

In Episode 784, Sean and Blake Murphy (The Athletic) team up for part one of a two-part primer ahead of what should be a fascinating off-season for the Raptors. They open up by discussing what the general philosophy of the Raptors front office should be heading into the draft and free agency period. Next they take a look at two big questions facing the team: what's the future of Kyle Lowry, and what to do about OG Anunoby's potential extension? Lastly, the address a rather large elephant in the room: will the Raptors' lock up Masai Ujiri, Nick Nurse and Bobby Webster beyond the end of the 2020-2021 season? Tune in for part two tomorrow as Blake and I dive into the free agencies of Fred VanVleet, Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka.

In Episode 783, Sean and Vivek react to the Raptors' noble title defense coming to an end on Friday night with a 92-87 loss to the Celtics in Game 7. They open things up by discussing where things went wrong for the Raptors, from the second quarter turning point, to fatigue, to some puzzling lineup choices. Next they dive into Pascal Siakam, who's feeling the heat after a rough performance against the Celtics and in the bubble as a whole. They discuss why one bad stretch does not undo all of the incredible growth in Siakam's game, and look ahead to what should be another year of improvement in 2020-21. Lastly, they reflect on what was probably the most fun season in Raptors history, and why this year exemplified why sports fandom is so fun.

In Episode 782, Sean and John Karalis (Locked On Celtics) preview Game 7 between the Raptors and Celtics, set to go on Friday night at 9pm. They start off by sharing their lingering thoughts on the double OT Game 6 classic before diverting their attention to tonight. They chat about the stakes for both teams and whether one or both of the Raptors and Celtics would be favoured against the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. To wrap up, they talk about some of the tactics that could decide the game, including whether or not the Raptors' newly unleashed small lineup can swing Game 7, and how the Celtics can go about freeing up Kemba Walker more than they have for much of the series.
