Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

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.

The Toronto Raptors blew a 12-point 4th quarter lead to fall 110-107 to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night in one of the best games of the season. In Episode 2049, Sean Woodley goes solo to run through his takeaways from the loss that saw a clash of defensive titans between Scottie Barnes and Victor Wembanyama. Off the top, Sean digs into just what a thrill it was to watch Wemby live, the Raptors' success guarding him with Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles, and why this game reminded Sean of a loss the Raptors suffered to Kevin Durant's OKC Thunder back in 2014. Next, Sean breaks down the Raptors' fourth quarter collapse, from bizarre rotation decisions to more trouble with stilted late game offense. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Jakob Poeltl!), The Bad (Not closing with Jamal Shead), The Hmm (promising returns against good competition) to round out the show.

Zulfi Sheikh and Duane Notice recap the Toronto Raptors' 110-107 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. Despite leading by 12 points entering the fourth quarter, and doing plenty to contain Victor Wembanyama, the Raptors were outscored 32-17 to close and failed to capitalize late. Toronto is now 4-15 vs. top 10 teams in the NBA.

A rollicking fourth quarter comeback from down 25 fell just short as the Toronto Raptors lost to the OKC thunder on Tuesday night, 116-107. In Episode 2048, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about what went right as the Raptors made their late-game surge, and what went wrong to get them into a 25-point hole in the first place. Off the top, Sean dives into why the 4th quarter was such a remarkable display of Scottie Barnes' on-court impact. Plus, what went wrong for the Raptors in the second and third quarters? And were the issues on-offs, or more systemic concerns? Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (RJ!), The Bad (Mamu) and The Hmm (More pick and roll?) to round out the show.

Zulfi Sheikh recaps the Toronto Raptors' 116-107 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday. After getting beaten by 25 points between the second and third quarters, the Raptors stormed back in the fourth thanks to a strong defensive effort and Scottie Barnes brilliance, but still fell short.

The Toronto Raptors have struggled big time against the best teams in the NBA -- can they buck that trend over a challenging closing stretch of schedule? In Episode 2047, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob chat about the Raptors' issues measuring up to the league's elite teams this season, how much it matters, and what they're hoping to see from the Raptors in their remaining matchups against the best teams in the league. Off the top, they dig into the noisiness in the team's record and underlying data against the league's elite -- are they worse or better against the top teams than their record suggests? Why have the fared so well offensively against great defenses? Why have teams with superpowered offense owned them so much? And does it matter at all in the evaluation of this season that the Raptors haven't succeeded against the inner circle contender class? Plus, Vivek and Sean discuss what would constitute a successful finish to the season against the teams near the top of the standings, and why the remaining matchups with the Knicks and Pistons are of particular interest.

Immanuel Quickley dropped 32 points and 9 assists against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday to help power the Raptors to a 122-94 blowout win. In Episode 2046, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about Quickley turning his season around over the last two months, and why it's high time the toxic conversation about his contract got turned down a few notches. He's an imperfect player, yes. But he provides the Raptors with a lot of on-court value, and with Jakob Poeltl back in the mix, that only stands to improve going forward. Next, Sean talks about Brandon Ingram's two-way play in the game against Milwaukee, which was much needed in the absence of Scottie Barnes. Ingram's scoring is one thing, but he becomes an infinitely more potent player when he's playmaking and defending like he was on Sunday. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Jamal Shead, Zone Buster?), The Bad (RJ Barrett's in a bad way) and The Hmm (The All-Space Second Unit!) to round out the show.

The Toronto Raptors got out of Chicago with a 110-101 win over the Bulls to kick off the stretch run, but that level of offense ain't gonna play against better teams. In Episode 2045, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about how Brandon Ingram bailed the Raptors out of a miserable night of offensive process, and why the Raptors are gonna need to rediscover the flow within their offensive system to have any hope of taking down the league's elite teams remaining on the schedule. Next, Sean digs into the stand out efforts from Collin Murray-Boyles (11-6-1-1-1 on 4/5 shooting) and Ja'Kobe Walter (14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 2/5 from three) and digs in why both guys fit the bill as potential future starters for the Scottie Barnes Raptors. Lastly, Sean digs into the The Good (Brandon Ingram rim pressure), The Bad (RJ Barrett out of sync) and The Hmm (Murray-Boyles starting and closing over Jakob Poeltl) to round out the show.
