The Rapcast

On this week's Buckets & Tea, Cathryn Naiker is joined by guests Matthew Brown & Freddie Rivas to discuss:

• The Golden State Warriors - Memphis Grizzles series! We debate the flagrant fouls that have shaped the series so far and ask what - if anything - has gone too far.
• Then, we dive a little bit into the Eastern Conference playoffs and talk about Joel Embiid's injury, how it affects the 76ers playoff run, and if 'The Process' works.

In our Raptors Homer Moment, we talk about Masai’s post-season press conference and the incredible year the front office has had. Finally, in our Nick Nurse Hottie Highlight of the Week, we all agree that the Los Angeles Lakers can keep dreaming.

Well, unfortunately, history was not made by the Toronto Raptors this time. The future of team hasn't shined this bright in years, though.

RAPTORS: Going back over the season, we ask the question: What was the favourite and least favourite thing about this squad? What should be the biggest front office takeaway from the playoffs this year?

NBA: Draymond Green did a podcast after his flagrant 2 in game 1. Some players have a podcast, but what other player needs to get on the podcatchers with some opinions? The league seems to be experiencing more parity than ever, but there wasn't a single upset in round 1. What team has the best shot at a 2nd round upset?

Special guests on this episode: Zarar Siddiqi and Alan Shane Lewis!

On this week’s episode of Buckets & Tea, Cathryn Naiker is joined by special guests Andrew Ivimey (Stand-up comedy and the Talk From Superheroes podcast) and Tristan Douglas aka @halfgood_ (amazing Raptors gameday posters on Twitter)!

Once again Cathryn flips the script to discuss the end of the Toronto Raptors 2021-22 season, both disappointment over the 3-0 comeback dream failing to become reality and excitement over what the team accomplished and their future outlook.

Then it’s on to the forthcoming second-round series: Whether the Sixers can handle the Heat, what the Bucks can do against the Celtics without Khris Middleton, and why Cathryn isn’t buying Mavericks stock against Phoenix.

Finally, in the Nick Nurse Hottie Highlight of the Week, Cathryn gushes over Nick throwing shade in the post-series press conference.

Buckets & Tea will continue to cover the rest of the NBA playoffs and into the offseason - stay tuned!

If you remove one Embiid OT revenge shot, it's the Raptors up 3-2. Game six coming up tomorrow. What's it gonna take to get to game seven?

RAPTORS: Can the Raptors really do this thing? What's the path to a game seven victory? We're seeing this 6'9" Bobby/Masai vision play out, especially with Fred sidelined. Where would you rank this style of team?

NBA: We have seen some creative protests of owner Glen Taylor's animal rights abuses linked to bird flu in Iowa in the Minnesota VS Memphis series. If it was your job to make a protest statement at an NBA game, what would you do? How do you feel about the Ben Simmons discourse?

With Cathryn Naiker and Katie Heindl!
