Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 1576, Sean Woodley goes solo with some thoughts on the ways in which the Toronto Raptors are currently missing Pascal Siakam as he gets set a make his return to Toronto tonight before diving into some listener questions. Off the top, Sean chats about the ways in which the departure of Siakam has hurt the Raptors on the court -- all things that were to be expected, but all things that have made it harder for the Raptors to play productive, competitive basketball around Scottie Barnes as the new clearly defined number one option. Plus, some thoughts on how woefilly ill-equipped to handle Siakam the Raptors' defense figures to be tonight. Next, Sean sorts through some listener questions from the show's Discord server about the challenges of having a first-year coach and a player getting his first taste of number one status at the same time, the insanity of Raptors fans online, Gary Trent Jr.'s standing among shooting guards in the league, star players the Raptors could target in trade over the next few years, and which recurring podcast guests are most liable to walk off the pod 30 seconds before the recording finishes.

In Episode 1575, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet) to about a very bad Toronto Raptors basketball game in which they got demolished by the San Antonio Spurs' star rookie Victor Wembanyama, who posted a triple double with points, rebounds and blocks. Off the top, Sean and Vivek talk about what a disappointing effort it was by a Raptors team comprised of guys who almost all have something meaningful to play for, and yet apart from Gradey Dick and Kelly Olynyk, no one really showed up. Next, inspired by Wemby's brilliance, they attempt to grade the Raptors players on the Wemby Fear Index, a loosely created criteria of how much each Raptor looked spooked by the rookie phenom as though he were an alien from outer space. Lastly, they run through The Good (Gradey Dick, one fleeting stretch of nice bench play with Immanuel Quickley at the helm), The Bad (Scottie Barnes' performance) and The Hmmm (Time for a change to the starting lineup?) to round out the show.

In Episode 1574, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 1-1 weekend split against the Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers. Off the top, Sean digs into the Raptors' starters looking fantastic against Houston, in particular Immanuel Quickley and Jakob Poeltl, and digs into some of the increasingly encouraging numbers on the Raptors' core four and starting lineup featuring Gary Trent Jr. Next, Sean digs into a 119-95 loss to the absolute buzzsaw that is this Cavs team, assess the lack of cohesion that hurt the second unit, and marvel at an outstanding Scottie Barnes game. Lastly, Sean runs the The Good (Gradey Dick's last 11 games), The Bad (the degree to which the Raptors can't afford an off night from Jakob Poeltl) and The Hmmmm (where Ochai Agbaji fits into the Raptors' mix going forward) to round out the show.

In Episode 1573, Sean Woodley is joined by Zulfi Sheikh (Sportsnet, Raptors Republic) to take a 10,000 foot view of all the moves the Toronto Raptors have made over the course of the last six weeks to try and determine whether they're better set up moving forward than they were when the season began. Off the top, Sean and Zulfi get into the overall takeaways from a trade season that was full of large-scale change both in the complexion of the roster, and the overall direction of the franchise. Is the direction now clear? And are the Raptors in a better spot now than they were before they kicked off the transaction period by trading O.G. Anunoby and Pascal Siakam? Next, Sean and Zulfi chat about the Raptors' targeting Canadian-born players and whether that might become a core principle of their talent accrual strategy going forward, the benefits of trying to identify Canadian players who can help the team, and the limits of that strategy as it relates to landing the very top end players from north of the border. Lastly, with the dust settled and the roster finally taking shape, Sean and Zulfi run through some five-man lineup combos they're excited to see the Raptors deploy down the stretch. Should Kelly Olynyk start? Will Gradey Dick get some run with the Raptors' core players? Where will Bruce Brown and Scottie Barnes figure into the backup point guard equation? And where does Ochai Agbaji fit in? All that and so much more!

In Episode 1572, Sean Woodley goes solo for a live reaction episode to break down the Toronto Raptors' moves at the NBA Trade Deadline, as they acquired Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji from the Utah Jazz for Otto Porter Jr., Kira Lewis Jr. and the worst of their first-round picks in this 2024 draft, moved Dennis Schröder and Thad Young to the Nets for Spencer Dinwiddie in a cost-saving measure, and held on to Bruce Brown despite plenty of rumours that he'd be moved on Thursday. Off the top, Sean digs into the many reasons why the Olynyk/Agbaji trade was a nice bit of business for the Raptors, from the potential to retain Olynyk beyond the expiry of his current contract at season's end, to Agbaji being a better bet than a very late first round selection to become a rotation piece in the next couple years. Next, Sean details the strange Schröder trade, and why it's not as damaging as it could have been considering the addition of Olynyk and the retention of Brown to serve as their backup point guard. This one's all about saving money in the summer, so the full grade will have to wait. Lastly, Sean talks about the Raptors' decision to keep Bruce Brown, and why it's a perfectly fine choice considering the optionality having him on their books will give them this summer.

In Episode 1571, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors trade at the exact moment the Toronto Raptors acquired Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji from the Utah Jazz for Otto Porter Jr., Kira Lewis Jr. and one of the bad picks they got from Indiana in the Pascal Siakam trade -- of which there will be more coverage to come this afternoon at 4pm ET live on the YouTube Channel! Off the top, Sean digs into how awful the Raptors' defense was for most of the Hornets game, and why the Raptors most important players were the biggest culprits until some lock down work to close the game out. Next, Sean chats about the genuinely promising signs from Toronto on the offensive end, and the early returns on the Scottie Barnes-RJ Barrett-Immanuel Quickley-Jakob Poeltl quartet when they share the floor together. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Dennis Schroder's performance), The Bad (the Raptor's lack of defensive talent) and The Hmmmm (the end of the pre-deadline fog excuse for disjointed play) to round out the show.

In Episode 1570, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about Scottie Barnes being named an NBA All-Star injury replacement alongside Trae Young, the adjustment to rooting for a team that isn't winning basketball games, and their final predictions ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline. Off the top, Sean and Katie react to Barnes earning his first All-Star nod, their favourite elements of his All-Star leap season, and what they're looking for out of Scottie down the stretch of the season. Next, 50 games into the season, this feels like it's been a barren year as far as things to get excited about in Toronto. Has this been a lost season from the fan perspective? Sean and Katie discuss, while digging into the adjustment of expectations and motivations that has to happen when you go from rooting for a competitive team to a retooling one, and what excites them about what lies ahead over the final 32 games once the Trade Deadline dust settles. Plus, what are their predictions ahead of the deadline? Will Bruce Brown get moved? What about Chris Boucher, Dennis Schroder, Otto Porter Jr. and Gary Trent Jr.? One way or another, the deadline can't come soon enough!

In Episode 1569, Sean Woodley goes solo to dissect a 138-100 Toronto Raptors loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night in a game that was saved only by Gradey Dick's career-best 22-point night. Off the top, Sean digs into the many ways in which the Raptors missed RJ Barrett against the Pelicans, who are already a more forceful team than the healthy Raptors, but were completely overwhelming without Barrett's power game there to serve as a foil to the Pelicans' athletic and phyiscal brand of ball. Next, Sean sings the praises of Gradey Dick, who is simply very good at getting open, and in this one contributed some very encouraging shot-making and on-ball work. It's pretty clear he needs to be playing heavy minutes from here to the end of the season. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (one last garbage time swan song for Chris Boucher?), The Bad (Jordan Nwora looking out of place) and The Hmmm (whether recent blowout losses might have the Raptors lean even further into a teardown by Thursday) to round out the show.

In Episode 1568, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet) to chat about the Toronto Raptors falling short in double overtime against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahome City Thunder on Sunday night. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about where things went wrong as the Raptors blew a 23-point lead over the course of a troublesome second half that saw the Thunder adjust to the Raptors' defense and get red hot from deep. Plus, what can be read, if anything, into Scottie Barnes' strange finish to the game, the hierarchy of the Raptors' offense, and the lack of interplay with Barnes and Immanuel Quickley to this point in their very brief time playing with one another. Next, Sean and Vivek chat about the things that went right in the game, from the play of RJ Barrett, to the defensive scheme giving SGA trouble, to the mere experience of playing in a high leverage, intense game with one of the league's best teams being something to build on. Lastly, they run through The Good (Thad Young, Barrett), The Bad (the lack of IQ/Barnes actions, Dennis Schroder) and The Hmmmm (the impending NBA Trade Deadline) to round out the show.
