As reported by Sportsnet's Michael Grange, the Toronto Raptors have picked up the option of head coach Darko Rajaković for the 2026-27 season, marking a vote of confidence in the work their second-year head coach has done through two losing-yet-productive seasons on the job. In Episode 1836, Sean Woodley goes solo to chat about why Rajaković is fully deserving of the belief the front office seems to have in him after all the foundation-laying he's done over the last two seasons. Next, Sean tries to sift through some takeaways from the Raptors pair of weekend wins, pushing their winning streak to 4 games despite them not really trying all that hard to actually win these games. But hey, the Immanuel Quickley-Jakob Poeltl connection looks extremely strong, and the rookies continue to make their way. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Duke prospects), The Bad (the utter meaninglessness of this late-season schedule) and The Hmm (Ja'Kobe Walter's tantalizing set of skills) to round out the show.
