Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors Locked On Podcast Network

In Episode 1524, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about the Toronto Raptors dropping their final In-Season Tournament game to the Brooklyn Nets 115-103 on Tuesday night. Off the top, they chat about a really poor performance from a starting unit that the Raptors simply can't afford to get poor performances from, and dig into how the Nets defense felt specifically designed to prevent the Raptors from getting to the spots they need to get to. Next, they chat about the Raptors' defensive slippage of late, especially in transition, and how the defense came entirely unspooled in the late going against Brooklyn when they went to Scottie Barnes at the five in the final four minutes. Plus, some Napoleon talk? Lastly, they dig into The Good (OG Anunoby's game-ending three, Chris Boucher's performance in not enough minutes), the Bad (washing out of the In-Season Tournament, bad gold quarter zips) and the Hmmmm (Scottie Barnes' recent slump, the Raptors never feeling part of the IST) to round out the show.

In Episode 1523, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Yahoo Sports Canada, Sportsnet) to chat about Toronto Raptors rookie Gradey Dick getting assigned to play some games with Raptors 905 in the G-League, and discuss the bigger picture work that still needs to be done to get the Raptors development pipeline back to its former glory, if it is at all possible. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about Gradey Dick's first couple 905 games, whether it was the right call to send him down to the G-League, and what he can stand to gain from playing for the team. Next, they chat about whether any progress has been made on repairing the pipeline between the G-League and the Raptors' big club, Eric Khoury's work as the team's head coach, and why some tempering of expectations needs to exercised by Raptors fans expecting the 905 to return to its former heights, during which they churned out and/or refined the games of all sorts of NBA talent at a time when they were one of the first teams really tapping into the G-League well. It's a different game now, and getting as lucky as they did with Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet and more is a pretty lofty and perhaps unrealistic goal. Lastly, they check in on the Raptors' two-way guys in Javon Freeman-Liberty, Markquis Nowell and Ron Harper Jr. and chat about whether they'll have a part to play for the big club in 2023-24.

In Episode 1522, Sean Woodley goes solo to recap the Toronto Raptors' 1-1 weekend against the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers. Off the top, Sean digs into where things went wrong for the Raptors against the Cavaliers in the second half and in particular down the stretch as Scottie Barnes struggled to contain the dribble penetration of the wildly dynamic Darius Garland. Next, Sean digs into his overarching takeaway from the weekend that the Raptors, while still straddling the .500 line, are starting coalesce into a team capable of playing some pretty good basketball as they figure out the best ways to deploy each of their most important players. Plus, are the Raptors carving out an identity as a team that lives at the rim? Lastly, Sean digs into the Good (Gary Trent Jr. settling in) the Bad (free-throws, omg) and the Hmmm (a fleeting glimpse of an interesting lineup) to round out the show.

In Episode 1521, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about what we've learned about the Toronto Raptors so far through 15 games, whether we've gotten closer to knowing what sort of resolution we're heading towards with the Pascal Siakam contract situation, and why this team feels much different from last year's in tone and tenor despite the Raptors' still being a 500ish team. Off the top, they chat about what we've learned so far, and the unfortunate truth that Jakob Poeltl's long-term fit on this team might not be super tenable if Siakam, Scottie Barnes and O.G. Anunoby are retained long term. Next, they chat about whether Pascal Siakam's start to the season has given us any more clarity on what the Raptors might be planning to do with their long-time star player. Has he done enough to answer the questions Masai Ujiri posed about him at Media Day? Plus, some thoughts on what a joy Siakam still is to watch, even if there's a chance his time in Toronto is winding down. Appreciate it while it's still happening! Lastly, they compare this year's team with the 2022-23 squad when it comes to overall tone and tenor, and their increased bounce back ability after rough games or halves.

In Episode 1520, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to react to the Toronto Raptors wildly entertaining 132-131 win over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night as Pascal Siakam scored 36 points and Scottie Barnes' threw down a massive game-tilting dunk late in the game. Off the top, Sean and Jamar dig into how the Raptors were able to keep pace with the league's best offense, and take advantage of Indiana's utter lack of defensive integrity while doing just enough on defense to get by. Pascal Siakam was incredible, O.G. Anunoby did all he could to make Tyrese Halburton work for his 33 & 16 line, and Dennis Schroder bailed the offense out just enough times to get the Raptors over the finish line. Next, they chat about the impressive performance by Malachi Flynn, who scored 14 points on 6/8 shooting and chipped in a handful of critical plays. Is Flynn becoming a real player? And what does his long-term outlook next to Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam look like? It's pretty clear that those two guys plus shooting is a winning recipe -- can Flynn be a key ingredient? Lastly, Sean and Jamar run through their Good (Darko Rajakovic's play-calling and timeout usage, a critical late sequence), Bad (turnovers, a nearly disastrous final sequence) and Hmmmm (Gradey Dick's DNP-CD, Toronto's impressive clutch time numbers) to round out the show.

Lastly, they run through the Good, the Bad & the Hmmmmm from the disappointing loss to round out the show.
