Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors are likely to be without starting point guard Immanuel Quickley when they take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday on the first night of a weekend back-to-back; what should head coach Darko Rajakovic do with his rotation if his lead guard isnt' available? In Episode 1734, Sean Woodley is joined by Esfandiar Baraheni (The Athletic NBA Daily) to talk about what the Raptors might be able to do to optimize a very thin rotation against the Sixers on Friday before debuting a new weekly segment on the show: Toxic Positivity Friday! Off the top, Sean and Es talk about the Raptors' injury woes, why Jamal Shead getting heavy run could be a silver lining of the unjury bug hitting the team so hard out of the gate, lineups they'd like to see get some run, and Scottie Barnes' capacity for a bounceback effort after going 3/14 in the opener. Next, they debut the new weekly Friday segment on the show: Toxic Positivity Friday (TPF for short), where they put the blinders on to all the bad stuff that happened and juiced about the little kernels of good we saw in Toronto Raptors basketball this week. Off the top, they chat about Jamal Shead turning heads, Jamison Battle's three-point marksmanship and the promise of this batch of rookies, before wrapping the show with some thoughts on Gradey Dick broadening his horizons and a quick round or two of "What Sound Did You Make?!"

The Toronto Raptors got blown out by the Cleveland Cavaliers in their home opener on Wednesday night, with an already shorthanded roster taking another blow when Immanuel Quickley left after a fall in the 2nd quarter. In Episode 1733, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the Toronto Raptors 136-106 season-opening loss, why a combo of poor play, strange decision-making and a hollowed out roster due to injury came together to leave the Raptors up a creek without a paddle against a dangerous-looking Cavs team, positives and negatives in the backcourt, and The Good, The Bad & The Hmmmm from the first game of 82. Off the top, Sean gets into how the Cavs terror duo of Evan Mobly and Jarrett Allen gave Scottie Barnes fits, Barnes forcing the issue, and Darko Rajakovic doing Barnes no favours by surrounding him with little shooting -- albeit while working with a roster down five rotation players once Quickley was ruled out for the second half. Next, Sean dives into the guard play on display in the game. IQ looked rock solid before the injury, Jamal Shead was awesome, guiding the team through it's best stretch of the final three quarters of the game, and Davion Mitchell had a hard time as a lead creator. It's clear Jamal Shead is the best backup point guard on this team, and there's a real case to start him if IQ needs to miss some time with the pelvic contusion he sustained in a fall. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Chris Boucher), The Bad (no purple court to accompany ths sweet purple and black jerseys) and The Hmmmm (Jonathan Mogbo) to round out the show.

The Toronto Raptors closed out their preseason schedule with a 116-112 win over the Brooklyn Nets to finish 3-2 in the exhibition season, while continuing to hint at this team having a little bit more upside if things break right than has been projected all summer long. In Episode 1730, Sean digs into his biggest takeaway from the preseason as a whole, talks about why the Raptors got it exactly right with their final roster decisions, and runs through The Good, The Bad & The Hmmmm from the preseason. Off the top, Sean digs into why this preseason opened the door just a bit for the Raptors to be a surprise riser, with Scottie Barnes' all-encompassing presence, some optimism among the second unit guys, and the team's try-hard ethos all being elements that could push the Raptors' win total up this season. Next, Sean dives into the Raptors' decision to swap Jamison Battle into Branden Carlson's two-way spot and give Bruno Fernando the last spot on the 15-man roster, and why that was the exact right course of action based on preseason results and the needs of the team. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Ochai Agbaji looking like a connective piece, shooting be damned), The Bad (Davion Mitchell's offense in a point guard role) and The Hmmm (Scottie Barnes' perimeter defense) from the preseason as a whole to wrap up the show.

The Toronto Raptors seemingly expect to be bad this season; is it possible for them to still be considered underachievers by season's end? In Episode 1729, Sean Woodley goes solo to take a look at the case for the Raptors falling short of their very meager expectations this season, what that might look like, and what it would be mean for the long-term outlook if things fall flat this year. Off the top, Sean outlines why the Raptors have many more avenues to finishing under their 30.5 Vegas win projection than they do finishing substantially above it, and why not all of those avenues would be considered a disappointment or an underachievement. But some certainly would! Plus, a diatribe about why trading Jakob Poeltl would be an unbelievably poor choice. Next, Sean digs into what an underachievement would look like, and why it's way more about player performance than the win-loss record. What if Scottie Barnes stagnates, RJ Barrett regresses and Immanuel Quickley isn't cut out for a lead guard role? It's maybe not likely, but if it happens, it's a clear failure compared to the directive of this season. Plus, what about the role of health luck in all of this? Lastly, Sean addresses what might happen this summer if things go poorly with the core players, and why it probably means the team is looking at starting back from square one if Quickley and Barrett in particular don't look cut out to be high level starters on a competitive team.
