Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors
Sports:Basketball
In Episode 1543, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 120-118 loss to the Boston Celtics on Friday night in Boston. Off the top, Sean digs into the Raptors' ongoing defensive struggles, and why Jakob Poeltl's role in them is coming into clearer focus now that the Raptors' have shifted their starting lineup and rotation. He's by no means the only culprit on the defensive end, but his issues and surprising level of matchup dependence are having cascading effects on the Raptors' defensive structure. And regrettably, it's an issue without an obvious fix right now. Next, Sean digs into Scottie Barnes' 7/15 night from downtown, his unprecedented shooting leap, and why it's bringing him to a level as a player where it probably doesn't make sense for Toronto to trade talent for futures, even though that may be their only way out of the corner they've painted themselves into, team-building wise. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Jalen McDaniels lives!), The Bad (the rapid decline of a formerly effective Raptors staple lineup) and The Hmmm (wondering just how ugly it can get if the Raptors lose to the Pistons on Saturday) to round out the show.
