Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors
Sports:Basketball
In Episode 1605, Sean Woodley goes solo to recap the Toronto Raptors' 13th-consecutive loss, a 135-120 defeat at the hands of the Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers in which the Raptors' defense was as lifeless as it's been at any time during this dire late season stretch. Off the top, Sean rejects the notion that this was some sort of moral victory for the Raptors, who to their credit managed one of their better offensive showings in a while, but completely failed to offer any resistance against a Sixers team without its two best players -- a troubling item considering how badly this Raptors team could use a couple of guys popping on the defensive stretch during this phase of end-of-roster evaluation. Next, Sean talks about a strong effort from Bruce Brown, and lays out the case for just keeping Brown around if they can't find a deal for an upgrade on the wing involving his salary before his deal becomes guaranteed for next year. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Kyle Lowry, still doing it), The Bad (the generally checked-out vibe of the fan base) and The Hmmm (Would you Rather: Bruce Brown & Gary Trent Jr. OR Buddy Hield & Kyle Lowry on next year's team?) to round out the show.
