This week Host Cathryn Naiker is joined by Raptors HQ's Chelsea Leite, to discuss Olympic Hangover highlights, and what we enjoyed most about the competition. Then switching gears and looking at this upcoming season, which teams are we most excited to see again, and which ones do we think are going to flame out? Which free agent moves are we looking forward to seeing in action & more. The NBA Cup is out and we evaluate our lack of excitement level and it's purpose. What could we do to make it more exciting? Then in the Raptors Homer Moment, we look at the free agents still available and should the Raptors go after any of these players? Finally in our Hottie Highlight of the Week segment, while talking about Precious Achewa walking Lions in nature Chelsea reveals she once worked at African Lion Safari. This sparks a whole tangent about what that experience was like. Then she is forced to choose between that or Jamal Shead picking up garbage after his teammate had a minor meltdown.
