Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

Zulfi Sheikh recaps the Toronto Raptors' 122-92 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. RJ Barrett showed out with a season-high 31 points, the defence spoiled Cooper Flagg's first visit to Toronto and the bench provided a much-needed boost.

The Toronto Raptors lost another game to a very good team as the Minnesota Timberwolves handled them on Thursday night. In Episode 2055, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the Raptors asking too much of Jamal Shead after a brutal evening for the Raptors' second year guard, the Raptors' increasingly precarious position in the Eastern Conference as their cushion on the 5th seed dwindles, and more from Toronto's fourth loss in five games. Off the top, Sean talks about how the Raptors' lack of depth at guard continues to be a problem, particularly on nights where Jamal Shead doesn't have it. He's a good player, but the Raptors have put way too much burden on his shoulders. Next, Sean assesses the race for the Top-6, why the Raptors should still hang onto a playoff spot and avoid the Play-in, and the ramifications if they slip out of the Top-6 and, gulp, lose a couple times to miss the playoffs entirely. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (RJ Barrett), The Bad (needlessly bad switches) and The Hmmm (IQ pull-ups and flirting with Raptors history) to round out the show.

Zulfi Sheikh and Duane Notice recap the Toronto Raptors 115-107 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. A decent first half gets summarily wiped away by a DISASTROUS third quarter in another romp to an elite team. Is it time to believe that the Raptors are who they are?

Is Scottie Barnes or Chet Holmgren a better Defensive Player of the Year Candidate? Is Collin Murray-Boyles or Derik Queen the better rookie to build a team with? Are the Toronto Raptors better than the Charlotte Hornets? In Episode 2054, Sean Woodley is joined by TrillBroDude (You Know Ball) to play a Stupid Little Game called: Who's Better? The concept is simple! Sean pitches two options, and they talk about who's better. Showdowns include: Scottie Barnes vs. Chet Holmgren, Derrick White and Rudy Gobert for Defensive Player of the Year; Collin Murray-Boyles vs. Ace Bailey, Derik Queen and Cedric Coward as they discuss which rookies they'd most like to have on their team long term. And finally, who's better: the Toronto Raptors vs. the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and Charlotte Hornets? It's a fun one!

The Toronto Raptors lost their 12-straight game to the New York Knicks on Tuesday night, and despite some progress in their play against good teams, the Raptors' bigger picture flaws have been repeatedly and clearly exposed. In Episode 2053, Sean Woodley digs into why the Raptors lost the rope in the final few minutes of Tuesday's game despite counterpunching the Knicks throughout the night, and why it's ultimately a good thing that the Raptors have had the flaws in their team construction illuminated so clearly this season. Next, Sean takes some time to highlight the good work by the starting five against New York, as the Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes & Jakob Poeltl unit was a +11 in a game the Raptors lost by 16 to continue their season-long success as a group; but were their struggles in the final few minutes indicative of some underlying concerns? Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Brandon Ingram's first half), the Bad (Ingram's second half) and The Hmm (Can the Raptors start finding some Mo Diawaras?) to round out the show.

Zulfi Sheikh and Duane Notice recap the Toronto Raptors 111-95 loss to the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Despite three mostly positive quarters, the Raptors' offense completely vanishes late, putting up just 13 points in the fourth and going the last 5.5 minutes with just ONE basket.

The Toronto Raptors take on the New York Knicks for the fourth time this season on Tuesday night -- is this the night the Raptors snap their 11-game losing streak against New York? In Episode 2052, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob talk about tonight's tilt with the Knicks, who their preferred Raptors first-round matchup would be between New York and the Cleveland Cavaliers, which teams below them are most likely to catch Toronto in the standings, and their ideal East playoff bracket. Off the top, Sean and Vivek dig into the matchup details of their game with New York, where the Raptors have left some low hanging fruit on the tree in previous meetings this season, why the absence of Collin Murray-Boyles changes the shape of the matchup, and why having Immanuel Quickley and Jakob Poeltl both in good form gives them a chance to target Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns on defense in a way they haven't in the first three meetings this year. Next, Sean and Vivek chat about whether they'd prefer to see the Cavaliers or the Knicks in a theoretical 4/5 matchup in the first round. Lastly, they take stock of the race for the 6th seed developing below the Raptors, and which of the 76ers, Magic, Heat, Hornets and Hawks stand the best chance of catching the Raptors in the standings.

The Toronto Raptors took down the Washington Wizards on Saturday and Jakob Poeltl continued to look like his old self -- which is a pretty big deal for the Raps! In Episode 2051, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to the Raptors' 134-125 win over Washington in which Jakob Poeltl scored 18 points on perfect shooting, Scottie Barnes turned the tide of the game by trying for only one half, and more. Off the top, Sean talks about another good outing for Poeltl, who if he is in fact back and healthy for the rest of the year, changes the game for the Raptors in a bunch of ways both in the short and medium term. Next, Sean digs into Scottie Barnes' immense on-court impact and why Saturday's tale of two halves was a great example of how an engaged Barnes is often the difference between the Raptors winning and losing. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Immanuel Quickley), The Bad (Gradey Dick not even playing against the Wizards) and The Hmmm (5th seed looking more and more likely?) to round out the show.

Zulfi Sheikh recaps the Toronto Raptors 134-125 win over the Washington Wizards. The Raptors overcame an early 13-point deficit thanks to some scrappy second-half defense and the tantalizing connection between Immanuel Quickley and Jakob Poeltl. The search for consistency continues, but a win along the way doesn't hurt.

Which Toronto Raptors lineups are the best they have to offer? In Episode 2050, Sean Woodley and Joe Wolfond link up to chat about the Toronto Raptors' lineup deployment, which lineups they think are Toronto's best, which groupings they'd like to see some more of that have to this point gone underutilized, and which units they never wanna see hit the floor again! Off the top, Sean and Joe talk about the success of the Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes quarter with any of the Raptors' big men rounding out their five-man lineups, and why Jamal Shead subbing in for RJ with the starters has been so electric. Next, they chat about some ways they'd like to see Jakob Poeltl complemented now that he's back and looking more like himself. Does the return of Jak allow the Raptors to go away from militantly staggering Ingram and Barnes? Plus, a sidebar about whether Immanuel Quickley has reached Plus Defender status. Lastly, they chat about why the combo of RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley with both Ingram and Barnes on the bench should probably be a stay-away for the Raptors moving forward.
