This week Host Cathryn Naiker is joined by Guest Katie Heindl to discuss the changes to the all-star game format. Now a 4 team tournament, do we think this will help or hurt the all-star game? What should the league do to make players care more? Then they talk about former raptor Fred VanVleet and his latest confrontation with the ref. What should the league do to help mitigate players' relationships with the refs and how to make the game less frustrating for players and fans alike? Then in our Raptors Homer moment, we talk about the Raptors one month into the season, what have we liked about this team so far and what's one thing they can improve upon. Plus Bruce Brown apologizes to fans for his "lack of effort" last season and explains he wants to be in Toronto. Lastly, our hottie highlight of the week is all about Scottie's new glasses, are we team red or black frames?
