Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 1586, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to chat about a 136-125 loss to Luka Dončić and the Dallas Mavericks in which the Raptors fell short, but absolutely looked the part of a modern NBA team capable of hanging with the best offenses in the league. Off the top, they chat about how the Raptors' offense helped them keep pace despite a 30-11-16 triple-double by Dončić, and how their recent run of offensive performances has them finally fitting into the league's offensive revolution after years of feeling like they were behind the curve. Plus, some thoughts on how the Raptors' varied defensive looks gave Luka some trouble early, only for the dam to burst in the second half as the MVP candidate settled into a groove. Next, Sean and Jamar chat about an excellent night for Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett. To close out the show, they run through The Good (Quickley, Jakob Poeltl's rim protection), The Bad (Bruce Brown's weird fit, the Raptors' Scottie + bench lineup's worst stint together) and The Hmmmm (Pizza Party theory, the Raptors new top team building priority).

In Episode 1585, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to play a round of everyone's favourite Toronto Raptors parlour game: What's More Likely?!, with questions about Scottie Barnes' shooting, Gradey Dick's job in 2024-25  and the Raptors' push for the NBA Play-in Tournament. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about whether it's more likely that Barnes shoots better than 38% from three for the rest of the season, or worse than 25%. Next, they discuss whether it's more likely that Gradey Dick starts every game in his second season, or comes off the bench for the entire season.  Lastly, they look at whether a run through the Play-in and into the NBA Playoffs is  more likely for the Raptors than falling back down in the bottom-6 of the NBA standings.

In Episode 1584, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to chat about the Toronto Raptors securing their first 3-game winning streak of the season with a 130-122 victory on the road over Pascal Siakam's Indiana Pacers, powered by Scottie Barnes' fourth triple-double of the season. Off the top, they chat about how the Raptors' roster is now conducive to Scottie Barnes becoming the best version of himself, and how that was put on display in the win over Indy, as every key member of the rotation flashed the ways in which they compliment the 22-year-old All-Star. Next, they give some flowers to Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic, who like Barnes, now has a roster suited to what he wants to do. Lastly, they run through The Good (Ochai Agbaji, Gradey Dick), The Bad (Bruce Brown, Jakob Poeltl tweaking his ankle) and The Mmmmmmmm (favourite pizza toppings) to round out the show!

In Episode 1583, Sean Woodley breaks down the Toronto Raptors 123-121 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night in which the Raptors' bench looked as good as it has in years. Off the top, Sean digs into the excellent play of the Scottie Barnes / Gradey Dick / Ochai Agbaji / Bruce Brown / Kelly Olynyk lineup that was a +11 in its minutes, and why the complimentary skillsets of the players involved should portend good things as they get more time together. Next, Sean chats about what a wonderful thing it is to have 48 minutes of center play, as both Jakob Poeltl and Kelly Olynyk flashed the ways in which they can help the Raptors sustain positive play over the course of full games with their similar and yet very different skillets. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Immanuel Quickley's audaciousness), The Bad (Jordan Nwora) and The Hmmm (Trae Young's injury and its impact on the play-in race) to round out the show.

In Episode 1582, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 121-93 blowout win over the flailing Brooklyn Nets in their first game back from the All-Star break. Off the top, Sean digs into why this game was as good a tone-setter for the Raptors as they embark on the final third of the season, and why even though making the play-in is a little bit farfetched, the carrot of getting back into the race can be very valuable for a team looking to lay a foundation for next season. A win against the Hawks tonight, and the play-in race gets a little more interesting. Sean digs into Scottie Barnes' out-of-the-gate energy and powerful transition scoring, the Raptors getting back to their roots by demolishing the Nets in the open court, and the defense showing some signs of connectivity at long last. Of course, it's just the Nets, so let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Next, Sean talks about Immanuel Quickley and Gary Trent Jr. combining for 49 points on efficient shooting and their different stations within the Raptors' future plans. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (RJ Barrett's playmaking), The Bad (one puzzling Bruce Brown possession) and The Hmmm (the first look at Gradey Dick alongside the Raptors Core 4) to round out the show.

In Episode 1581, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) fresh off her trip to Indianapolis for All-Star Weekend to answer listener questions about your Toronto Raptors. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about All-Star Weekend, whether it can or should be fixed in any way, and why we should all probably adjust our expectations for an event that doesn't carry the same weight as it did in the past for a bunch of pretty understandable reasons. Next, they chat about whether Pascal Siakam will get his #43 retired by the Toronto Raptors, Vince Carter and Kyle Lowry's own number retirement cases and more. Plus, which three Raptors games should time-strapped fans prioritize down the stretch? To wrap, Sean and Katie answer questions about Immanuel Quickley and what they'd like to see from him down the stretch, RJ Barrett's puzzlingly poor defense, and whether Sean will ever hit the end-of-podcast over-the-shoulder shot that he so far as been skunked on.

In Episode 1580, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to break down their hopes and dreams for the Toronto Raptors down the stretch of the season. Off the top, they discuss what they'd like to see from the Raptors as it pertains to their philosophy surrounding their Top-6 protected pick owed to the San Antonio Spurs. Should the Raptors make every effort to tank to a place where they're guaranteed to hang onto the pick and draft in the Top-6, or with the lottery odds and standings stacked against them, should they make every effort to play out the season competitively, perhaps even climb the standings by a spot or two, and attempt to convey the pick and clean the slate going forward. Next, Vivek pitches Sean on why he'd like to see a platoon at center between Jakob Poeltl and Kelly Olynyk, with both big men working in a time share and getting starts dependent on matchups. Lastly, Sean makes a plea for the Raptors to find an identity on defense over the final 27 games, Vivek advocates for more Chris Boucher in the rotation, and Sean wants to see if one of Ochai Agbaji, Jordan Nwora, Jontay Porter or Javon Freeman-Liberty can stake a claim to a longer term rotation gig during the season's closing stretch.

In Episode 1579, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about the things they're hoping to see out of the Toronto Raptors during the stretch run of their season. Off the top, they take a second to talk about Jaylen Brown's gloriously embarrassing dunk contest performance before shouting out Scottie Barnes for an admirable and very fun All-Star debut. Next, Sean and Vivek dig into the Immanuel Quickley & Scottie Barnes duo and why the massaging of their fit with one another needs to be the Raptors' highest priority down the stretch, as well as some of the types of actions they're most eager to see them link up for. Lastly, they get into Gradey Dick, and why they'd like to see him play more minutes with the Raptors core four players than he has so far (0) and the reasons for and against moving him into the starting lineup in place of Gary Trent Jr. Part 2 comes tomorrow!

In Episode 1578, Sean Woodley is joined by Joey Devine (RoundBall Rock) to talk about Scottie Barnes' overall quality as an All-Star player before a way-too-in-depth preview of the All-Star Skills Challenge on Saturday night. Off the top, Sean and Joey discuss where Scottie Barnes slots in on the continuum of All-Stars ranging from Devin Harris to Shaq, and where Barnes' game lines up compared to Raptors All-Stars of the past. Next, Sean and Joey dig into the new format for this year's Skills Challenge, which is a good event, no matter what you say. Lastly, they make their predictions for the Skills Challenge; will Scottie Barnes lead Team All-Star to a victory? Or will Victor Wembanyama's Team Top Picks or Tyrese Halibuton's Team Pacers come away with All-Star Saturday's ultimate prize?! Plus, some quick picks on the less important All-Star events.

In Episode 1577, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to talk about the Toronto Raptors' narrow 127-125 loss to the Indiana Pacers in Pascal Siakam's emotional return to Toronto. Off the top, Sean and Jamar chat about Scottie Barnes' huge bounce back performance after Monday's dud against the Spurs that ended with him leaving the bench early. They get into how Barnes pushing the pace unlocks the best version of himself, and why they're glad he didn't receive a suspension for what happened on Monday. Watching him put up 29-12-8 to head into the All-Star break was much preferable. Next, Sean and Jamar talk about the Raptors' late-game offense, which featured some good and some bad, including some decently drawn up late looks on the heels of some pretty sloppy possessions in the preceding few minutes. Plus, some thoughts on the value of the reps the Raptors are getting in clutch time of late. Lastly, they run through The Good (the absolutely perfect Pascal Siakam tribute, Chris Boucher), The Bad (Gary Trent Jr.'s untimely late misses, leaving Tyrese Haliburton open) and The Hmmm (Will Gradey Dick get a run as a starter soon? And will he ever miss at the rim through contact again?) to round out the show.
