In Episode 779, Sean and Vivek Jacob recap the Raptors' underwhelming effort in a Game 5 loss to the Celtics to fall down 3-2 in their second round series. They start out by discussing what went wrong for the Raptors in a brutal first quarter that saw them score just 11 points, and remark on the notable lack of energy the team seemed to enter the game with after their grueling wins in Games 3 and 4. Next they talk about where things went wrong for the offense, and discuss the Raptors' first use of their small lineup with Pascal Siakam at center. Lastly, they look ahead to Game 6, and ponder whether or not Matt Thomas may steal some minutes away from the struggling Norman Powell.

In Episode 777, Sean and Joe Wolfond (The Score) break down the Raptors' 104-103 win in Game 3 over Boston on the back of Kyle Lowry, OG Anunoby, and what will now be known as The Pass. They kick things off by discussing Lowry's incredible 31-6-8 performance and where it ranks in the pantheon of great Lowry playoff performances. Next they take a look at Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet, who were still uneven in Game 3, but timely and effective enough to help the Raptors scrape by. Next they discuss what looms in Game 4, and whether Norman Powell's solid fourth quarter opens up the option for Nick Nurse to at long last try out the small lineup he has yet to go to in the series. Their closing thought are all about OG, who is just the damn coolest, and looking to be a damn important part of the Raptors for a long time to come.

In Episode 776, Sean is joined by John Karalis (Locked On Celtics) for a network crossover episode about what has taken place through two games of Raptors-Celtics, and what may be on the horizon for Game 3. They open up with Sean's consternation over Marcus Smart's fourth quarter outburst on Tuesday, before looking into the some changes the Raptors can make that may put the Celtics on their heels in Game 3. They also discuss the razor-thin nature of the margins in this series, and why anomalies that make no sense are more than likely to determine the outcome of the series as a result.

Pascal Siakam's struggles are also sorted through at length. Lastly, Sean and Imman plea with Nick Nurse to go small more often, and marvel at OG Anunoby, who is the truth.

Are the Raptors doomed at the centre matchup? What can Nick Nurse do to help spark the transition game?
