With less than two weeks to go before the NBA Trade Deadline, will we see the Toronto Raptors make a major move? In Episode 2028, Sean Woodley and Joe Wolfond team up to play another round of DUCK THE TAX, where they toss some names of possible trade targets in a hat, pull 'em out one by one, and talk about whether the Raptors should purse them before the February 6th deadline. Malik Monk looked really good against the Raptors on Wednesday night -- could a Jakob Poeltl salary dump in exchange for Monk make some sense? Goga Bitadze is rumoured to be available with the Orlando Magic, could he be a backup center solution? If the Knicks get bold and move Karl Anthony-Towns before the deadline, could the Raptors look to snatch him up on a buy-low deal? Plus, thoughts on Collin Sexton, Jose Alvarado, Herb Jones and whether the Raptors can get creative with a package centering on all three of Ochai Agbaji, Gradey Dick and Ja'Kobe Walter?

The Toronto Raptors took down the Sacramento Kings 122-109, and with their play of late are showcasing the effect competitive basketball can have on player development. In Episode 2027, Sean Woodley digs into the improvement of Immanuel Quickley, Gradey Dick, Scottie Barnes and Jamal Shead in various aspects of their games and how those strides were put on display in Wednesday's win over the Kings. Next, Sean dives into how the Raptors dissected the Sacramento Kings zone during a 43-21 third quarter -- can this finally be the turning point for the Raptors and their struggles against zone D? Lastly, Sean runs through The good (MAMU!), The Sad (The Kings) and The Hmm (Could a rental guard be the move for the Raptors?) to round out the show.

The Toronto Raptors handled the Golden State Warriors and Immanuel Quickley emerged from a month-long slump with quite literally the MOST EFFICIENT 40-point game in the history of the NBA! In Episode 2026, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down Quickley's 40-burger on Tuesday night and why it was a great reminder of the value provides to the Raptors, Brandon Ingram's perfectly streamlined outing, RJ Barrett's impending return and much more! Off the top, Sean digs into how Quickley blended off-ball gravity and shooting with one of his most dangerous on-ball games of the season to produce a 40-point, 10-assist double-double, and why this was an outstanding game for the Quickley-Scottie Barnes two-man game. Next, Sean digs into Brandon Ingram's 22-4-5 game which showcased an idealized version of Ingram within the context of this team, opened up largely by Quickley and Barnes serving as the backbone for the Raptors' offense in the game. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (RJ Barret back tonight?), The Bad (Ochai Agbaji) and The Hmm (one win away from clinching a successful road trip?) to round out the show.

Zulfi Sheikh and Duane Notice recap the Toronto Raptors' 145-127 win over the Golden State Warriors. The Raptors FINALLY had a hot shooting night from three, and it catapulted them to victory with a hot start. Immanuel Quickley poured in a career-high-tying 40 points and it was exactly what he and the Raptors needed, setting the tone in Golden State. A great win!

The NBA's Trade Deadline is drawing near, and the Toronto Raptors could go big, or take it easy -- with the latter being the clearly preferred option. In Episode 2025, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the latest reporting from Sportsnet's Michael Grange about the motivating factors for Bobby Webster and the Raptors' front office heading into the February 6th NBA Trade Deadline, and why it seems like they're not in the big fish exploration mode outside observers seem to think they might be. Sean talks about why it's absolutely the right call for the Raptors to take it easy and make small moves on the margins at this deadline, while steering clear of risky big swings that don't quite address the needs of a Raptors team that's still in a great position compared to preseason expectations. Next, Sean dives deep into why a trade for Ja Morant would be a bad idea for the Raptors to pursue, from the issues with his availability to his rough fit alongside the most important players for the Raptors' future: Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles. Lastly, Sean looks at the arguments in favour of a move for the embattled Grizzlies guard -- would his rim pressure ability be enough to compensate for his lack of shooting and bad defense?

The Toronto Raptors lost a pair of games to the LA Clippers and LA Lakers over the weekend, and their offense in a couple particular circumstances is of real concern. In Episode 2024, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob discuss the Raptors OT loss to the Clippers as the team's clutch offense sputtered, as well as an injury-plagued loss to the Lakers on Sunday that showcased the Raptors' ineptitude against zone defense more clearly than ever before. Off the top, they chat about Toronto's issues scoring late in close games, and why a shift in the offensive hierarchy from Brandon Ingram being the lead option to a more of a Scottie Barnes-centric attack might be the way the go to buck the trend. Next, they chat about injuries piling up, with Collin Murray-Boyles thumb issue looming as an injury with the potential to tip the Raptors into a non-competitive place until they can get some more bodies back. Lastly, they run through The Good (Scottie Barnes' middies, CMB's general awesomeness), The Bad (offense again zone... AGAIN!) and The Hmmm (can they hang onto 4th?, Darko vs. the refs) to round out the show.

Zulfi Sheikh and Duane Notice recap the Toronto Raptors' 110-93 loss after they struggled to figure out the Los Angeles Lakers' zone defence. A continued theme this season. How the third quarter proved costly in more ways than one and why the Raptors need to figure out their hierarchy down the stretch of games.
