Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors have a half court offense problem. In Episode 2032, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob chat about the Raptors' struggles with half court scoring in a late-collapse against the Orlando Magic on Friday and in a narrow win over the Utah Jazz on Sunday: what are the causes of the Raptors' stark drop-off on the offensive end? How has Collin Murray-Boyles contributed to the struggles as he learns the ropes of the NBA? Are there any fixes in house? Or will the Raptors need to search for upgrades ahead of this week's NBA Trade Deadline? All that, plus The Good (Scottie Barnes: All-Star, welcome back RJ), The Bad (various transition offense calamities) and The Hmm (what is wrong with Desmond Bane? Will Brandon Ingram be Giannis' All-Star injury replacement?) to round out the show.

Zulfi Sheikh and Duane Notice recap the Toronto Raptors 107-100 win against the Utah Jazz following a dominant fourth-quarter effort defensively. The No. 1 clutch defence delivers, holding the Jazz to 16 points in the final frame while surviving a couple of crucial plays without Scottie Barnes. The Raptors are now 30-21, matching their win total from last season!

Zulfi Sheikh and Duane Notice recap the Toronto Raptors 130-120 loss to the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, a second straight defeat after blowing a late lead. Getting punched in the mouth again and having no response. Losing the math battle ... AGAIN. And all the good that was ultimately washed away by a brutal fourth quarter.

The Toronto Raptors have been tangentially mentioned as potential Giannis Antetokounmpo suitor, but should they sit this star derby out? In Episode 2031, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl discuss how exhausted they are by the never ending Giannis saga, a why the 29-20 Toronto Raptors should steer clear of a bidding war. Off the top, they chat about how odious this whole thing continues to be, and why the Raptors just aren't in the right place to be a viable Giannis landing spot. Next, they talk about whether the Raptors front office owes it to this fun, exciting version of the team to not upset the chemistry balance with a rash move. Lastly, they dive into what they're hoping to see the Raptors actually do before the deadline, with small moves on the margins being their shared desire.

The Toronto Raptors got handled by the New York Knicks despite a very promising start on Wednesday night, as the Knicks turned the Raptors' greatest strength against them to flip the script. In Episode 2030, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down why the Raptors lost the rope against New York, and the role Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles utter dominance against Jalen Brunson and Karl Anthony-Towns played in unleashing OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges. Next, Sean talks about the Raptors falling to 1-9 against the league's elite teams, and why it's really not something to be concerned about in the big picture considering where the team sits in its growth curve. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (CMB back!), The Bad (A bad night for the OG for IQ & RJ trade) and The Hmmm (Giannis Antetokounmpo, anyone?) to round out the show.

Zulfi Sheikh and Duane Notice recap the Toronto Raptors disappointing 119-92 loss to the New York Knicks on Wednesday, snapping a four-game win streak. After leading for the entire first half and for much of the third quarter, the Raptors let go of the rope and got blown out. Lack of execution late and an over-reliance on Brandon Ingram spelled their downfall.

The Toronto Raptors are 29-19, and with winning, comes the potential for end-of-season hardware for Scottie Barnes, Darko Rajakovic and Collin Murray-Boyles. In Episode 2029, Sean Woodley is joined by Duane Notice (Locked On Raptors Postcast) to talk about Scottie Barnes' Defensive Player of the Year candidacy, Darko Rajakovic's chances of winning Coach of the Year, and Collin Murray-Boyles' push for an All-Rookie team. Off the top, they talk about why Barnes has as good a case as anyone to win DPOY in the event Victor Wembanyama doesn't hit the 65 game minimum to be eligible for the award, and why he should be a no-brainer All-Defense First Team player. Next, they discuss the job Darko's done in his third year on the job, the people skills that seem to be translating into the winning, and his work constructing an elite defense without many elite defenders on his roster. Lastly, they chat about why Collin Murray-Boyles, though he doesn't have huge raw counting stats, should get All-Rookie recognition because of his outsized impact on winning as a first year player.

The Toronto Raptors are coming off an outstanding 4-1 Western Conference road trip and sit third in the East at 29-19 -- is it time to start asking if they can make an NBA Finals run in the weaker conference? In Episode 2028, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob chat about the Raptors' recent run of excellent form, the case for why they could be able to navigate their way through three East playoff series and make a surprise Finals appearance, and the things that could stand in their way. Are the Raptors playoff-proof in their construction? Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram sure seem like playoff-level performers, but can East Player of the Week Immanuel Quickley, some weak individual defenders, and a so-so halfcourt offense hold up to the playoff stress test? Are the Raptors among the teams in the East capable of making it to the Finals? And if so, where do they rank in order of likelihood to actually do it? Plus, do the Raptors' front office brass owe it to the team to make a win-now trade at the deadline? Or is staying the course the best move for a team that's already vastly overshooting expectations?
