This week Host Cathryn Naiker is joined by Samson Folk. First, they talk about Rudy Gobert and his historic fine for suggesting the league is influenced by gambling. Then they go through the new face of the NBA debate and discuss the narrative around American vs International players. Then they talk about the rise in player podcasts. Are they good what insights do they serve, what does Samson think overall? In our Raptors homer moment, they discuss what is salvageable for the Raptors this season. What is Samson watching for, whose development are we watching for? Why is this team still fun to watch? Then in the hottie highlight of the week, it goes to Kelly Olynyk for getting the raptors first ever flopping fine. This episode is very light-hearted with lots of sidebar talk. We hope you enjoy it.
