Are the Toronto Raptors risking the culture they built as they pursue their tanking agenda down the stretch, or are they striking a good enough balance to avoid the adverse effects of losing intentionally? In Episode 1819, Sean Woodley goes solo to field some mailbag questions about the Raptors and tanking, the team's outlook in the East going into next season, and whether LaMelo Ball is someone the Raptors should be pursuing if reports hold true that the Charlotte Hornets might trade their mercurial star guard this summer. Off the top, Sean digs into a question regarding the Raptors' tanking efforts and whether they could harm the culture the team has built over the course of what's been largely a good vibes season. Next, Sean details why it's by no means off base to think the Raptors can be next year's version of this year's Detroit Pistons and find themselves in the Top-6 on the Eastern Conference. Lastly, Sean fields a question about wandering eyes for other coaching candidates, and whether LaMelo Ball is someone the Raptors should pursue this summer (spoiler alert: hell no).

Introducing Can the Lakers Hold the No. 2 Seed? | KD & Suns Headed for a Split | Are the Cavs the Team to Beat? from Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association.

Follow the show: Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association

The Los Angeles Lakers have stormed their way to the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, but is their stay at the top temporary? Matt Moore and Haize debate whether L.A. can sustain this success and how their defensive turnaround is fueling their rise. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns and Kevin Durant appear headed for a breakup—what went wrong, and where could KD land next?

The Cleveland Cavaliers pulled off back-to-back dramatic comebacks over the weekend, and the numbers suggest they might be the hottest team in the NBA. Are they legitimate title contenders, and could they be the biggest threat to the Celtics in the East? Plus, Joel Embiid’s season-ending injury exposes a growing rift between the Sixers and their franchise star—what does this mean for his future in Philadelphia?

We also break down key injuries and returns around the league: Can Mitchell Robinson's return give the Knicks a playoff boost? Will the Kings hold steady without Domantas Sabonis? And does Jalen Suggs’ injury derail the Magic’s postseason hopes?

Finally, we dive into a massive Western Conference showdown as the Rockets face the Thunder—can OKC improve in close-game situations? All that and more on today's Locked On NBA!

The Toronto Raptors split a pair of games against the Chicago Bulls and Orlando Magic over the weekend as the team's big picture intentions for the rest of the season began to lay themselves bare. The tank seems to very much be on. In Episode 1818, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to the Raptors' remarkable late-game collapse engineered in large part by Jakob Poeltl's minutes restriction, which kept him sidelined for the final eight minutes and overtime as the Bulls roared back for the win. Next, Sean digs into the Raptors' near repeat effort against the Orlando Magic, and the Immanuel Quickley takeover that staked the Raptors to just enough of a lead to hang on down the stretch for the win. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Ja'Kobe Walter hustle plays), The Bad (Jak's minute restriction and a whole lotta Orlando Robinson) and The Hmmm (Raptors better than the Magic next season?) to round out the show.

Try as they might, the Toronto Raptors are probably not going to be drafting in the Top-5 of this year's NBA Draft -- and Sean is here to tell you why that's okay! In Episode 1817, Sean Woodley goes solo for another Toxic Positivity Friday to talk about why it's OK that factors beyond the Raptors control might leave them drafting somewhere in the 6 to 10 range of the draft instead of in the Top-5 like it seemed like they were on track to do to start the year, before a look at prospects Derik Queen and Tre Johnson. Off the top, Sean digs into why the Raptors have given themselves insurance against bad lottery luck with the Brandon Ingram trade, and why a jump into the top-2 is no longer required for the Raptors to move themselves forward, though it'd certainly be awesome, and why the likely outcome of a pick in the 6 to 10 range is by no means a disaster outcome. Next, Sean offers a breakdown of Maryland freshman big man Derik Queen, who's very cool, and has some awesome strengths, even if his fit on the Raptors isn't super clean. Lastly, Sean talks about fast-rising Texas freshman guard Tre Johnson, who's as talented a shot-maker in the draft this side of Ace Bailey, though he's certainly not without question marks of his own.

Introducing REPORT: Kevin Durant WILL be TRADED | Paul George's Podcast Pause | Pistons WOMP Celtics for 8th Straight Win from Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association.

Follow the show: Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association

Kevin Durant’s tenure with the Phoenix Suns may be coming to an end, but how did it fail so quickly? We break down why KD never fit with Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, why leadership was lacking, and what teams could realistically make a move for him. Could a reunion with Kyrie Irving in Dallas be in the works, or does Denver make more sense?

Meanwhile, Paul George has hit pause on his podcast to “lock in” for the rest of the season, but does it really matter for the Sixers? With Philly struggling and Joel Embiid battling injuries, is this too little, too late for a team barely clinging to playoff hopes?

The Detroit Pistons, however, are making noise for all the right reasons. After dominating the Boston Celtics for their eighth straight win, have they officially turned the corner? Cade Cunningham is leading the way, but how much credit should go to J.B. Bickerstaff and the veteran additions?

Plus, should NBA players even be podcasting during the season? Does it hurt focus, or is the criticism overblown? And don’t miss our breakdown of Shaedon Sharpe’s ridiculous dunk—was it the best of the season?

The Toronto Raptors fell 111-91 to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night in a game where the absence of Scottie Barnes, out with a hip injury, was felt big time, despite strong efforts by the duo of Immanuel Quickley and Jonathan Mogbo. In Episode 1816, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about how Quickley's turbo-charged driving and Mogbo's interior finishing were the highlights of an otherwise struggle-filled night for the Raptors. Without Scottie Barnes, both the team's offense and defense took a hit, highlighting just how valuable Barnes is to making the Raptors tick. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (having Jakob Poeltl back), The Bad (Jamal Shead's challenging night) and The Hmmm (Mogbo taking the lead in the all-important Raptors Dunk Chase) to round out the show.

The Toronto Raptors fell to the Boston Celtics 111-101 on Tuesday night to drop to 18-40 on the season, as the three-point variance proved to not be their friend. In Episode 1815, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to the Raptors' loss, talk about why the process the Raptors displayed was as sound as you could ask for, talk about Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley all looking good outside of their wayward jumpers, dig into some rookie performances and more. Off the top, Sean outlines how the Raptors' core three guys all fared in the game, and why their performances all would have looked much better with a little make/miss luck on the good three-point looks they created. Next, Sean gets into the play of Jamal Shead, who rules, Jonathan Mogbo, who's coming along, Ja'Kobe Walter, who's smooth, and Jamison Battle, who didn't play but probably should have. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Mogbo's defensive flashes on Jaylen Brown), The Bad (IQ & Scottie's pick-and-roll timing) and The Hmmm (Quickley-Barnes-Walter as a trio) to round out the show.
