Previewing the home stand that will make or break the Toronto Raptors' season
In Episode 1313, Sean Woodley goes solo to preview the Toronto Raptors' six-game home stand which starts tonight against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks and will determine the course of the remainder of the Raptors' season. Off the top, Sean digs into why the slate of games against the Milwaukee Bucks, Portland Trail Blazers, New York Knicks, Charlotte Hornets (x2) and Atlanta Hawks over the next couple weeks is the biggest stretch of ball for the team in years, why the future of Fred VanVleet feels very much at stake, and why the Raptors needs to go at minimum 4-2, preferably 5-1 or 6-0 to keep this season from spiralling off the tracks. Next, Sean talks about why no matter the outcome, the idea of trading this year's first round pick for upgrades should be firmly off the table, although for the right long term upgrade, the first rounders beyond 2023 should still be on the table if it means Toronto can improve its position for 2023-24 and beyond. Lastly, Sean takes a look at the struggling Milwaukee Bucks and why, without Khris Middleton, they might be ripe to get punished by some old school Raptors junk defense, in a similar fashion to the five consecutive games they've dropped to Toronto. Buckle up!
