The Rapcast

Zarar and Tim W chat it up as Tim finally gets a chance to tell you 'I told ya so', but this time he's got answers that don't involve driving a tank through the ACC.

#318 - The Doctor is In Podcast, May 1 - Six Degrees of Masai Ujiri by raptorsrepublic.com

I recorded an hour long podcast with Andrew and Will, which was really turning out to be something, only for the power on my street to go out. No word on whether the Raptors suckage from tonight created a wind tunnel so strong that it knocked out power lines in Toronto, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility.

Instead of a three-person podcast giving varied views on various topics, you now have to settle for me. Just me.

The Raptors are in a 3-0 series hole to Washington, and Andrew has been summoned to the pod from the back of a bar to explain why that is the case.

Nick and Barry are back just in time for the collapse! The welcome, friend of the show Curt Russo and discuss...

*IT

*Panic Buttons

*Fans leaving early

*Kyle Lowry is broken

*The first two games in Jurassic Park

*How many games will the Raptors win?

Plus another glorious edition of the Chuck Hayes minute.

Thanks for listening during this difficult time.

Sam and Zarar discuss the Game 2 loss to the Wizards, which sees Washington assert their dominance in convincing fashion.
