The two discuss Jay’s venture into being a regular media member at Toronto Raptors games, the impostor syndrome he’s felt, and his journey being a writer alongside Chris back in the day. They then get into the recent firing of Raptors head coach Nick Nurse, some potential candidates to replace him, Becky Hammon receiving an interview, before getting into some NBA playoffs talk with the upcoming Lakers-Warriors series, and some reaction to the Bucks and Grizzlies being upset in the opening round. They then close out the show with their prediction for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers, eating at the Mandarin, the Netflix series ”Beef,” and much more.

Host Chris Walder is joined by Mike Roach, the co-host of the ”Hustle Play” podcast alongside Toronto Raptors center Chris Boucher for Yahoo Sports Canada, as well as the host of ”The Mike Roach Podcast.”

The two look back at Toronto’s loss to the Chicago Bulls in the play-in tournament, what went wrong, Diar DeRozan’s screams, and who’s to blame for the defeat. They then preview the team’s potential offseason moves, where the 2022-23 campaign went wrong, and which free-agents need to stick around. They culminate the podcast by picking the series winners for the first round of the upcoming NBA playoffs.

The two discuss Will’s recent live show with Toronto Raptors GM Bobby Webster, the success of his radio show/podcast, his relationships with Blake Murphy and Alex Wong, the frustrating 2022-23 Raptors campaign, what the team needs to look for in this summer’s draft, having big heads, bubble tea, best-dressed Raptors, and so much more.

The two discuss Crina’s last two years and how her career path in sports media has drastically changed since the last time they recorded a podcast. They also get into the evolution of women in sports media, finding a work-life balance being in the field, how therapy has helped her maintain a level head, being a part of Homestand Sports and what that brand is trying to achieve, the Toronto Raptors’ offseason plans, the Nikola Jokic vs. Joel Embiid NBA Most Valuable Player race, the WNBA coming to Toronto, and so much more.

Blake also provides his two cents on Fred VanVleet’s recent pipebomb-esque rant on NBA officiating following the Raptors’ loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, whether or not this season can ultimately be considered a success, and how the franchise can potentially keep all of their big name free agents like VanVleet, Jakob Poeltl, and Gary Trent Jr.
