Eric Smith and Paul Jones discuss an up-and-down weekend for the Raptors that featured an impressive win over the Wizards and a bad 114-105 loss to the Trail Blazers. E and Jonesy focus on Toronto’s poor first-half against Portland, the team returning to an empty arena after playing on the road, and Scottie Barnes’ standout game against Washington (4:38). Afterwards, NBA insider Brian Windhorst talks about league discipline following Grayson Allen’s suspension before sharing his view on the Raptors and the chatter surrounding Barnes and the respect he’s earning league-wide in his rookie season (31:45).
