Scottie Barnes returns to form while Pascal Siakam returns home as Raptors fall to Pacers w/ Jamar Hinds

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.
