Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors led Game 5 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, until they didn't -- was it a missed opportunity, or an encouraging road loss ahead of Friday's Game 6? In Episode 2099, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl discuss whether the Raptors were culpable for their Game 5 loss on the road, or if they simply came up on the wrong end of a whole lot of good fortune going the Cavs way. Maybe a little bit of both? Next, they talk about Brandon Ingram's injury laying bare just how necessary he is for the team, even if it's maddening to watch him sometimes, and discuss Scottie Barnes' taking a knock that sapped his burst in the second half. Can the Raptors win Game 6 if Ingram is out, or if Barnes isn't able to go at full tilt? Lastly, they run through The Good (Jamison Battle, Ja'Kobe Walter), The Bad (pick-and-roll defense, Dennis Schroder's revenge) and The Hmm (how different would this series be with Immanuel Quickley? Why so chippy all of a sudden?) to round out the show.

Zulfi Sheikh recaps the Toronto Raptors 125-120 Game 5 loss vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs. A heartbreaking outcome after fighting tooth and nail until the end. The Raptors ran out of gas in the fourth quarter and couldn't overcome the loss of Brandon Ingram.

The Toronto Raptors take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in a pivotal Game 5 tonight -- and Jamal Shead is a huge reason why the Raptors are in the position they're in. In Episode 2098, Sean Woodley goes solo to answer mailbag questions from you, the freaks! Off the top, Sean digs into why Jamal Shead's incredible impact despite almost zero offensive utility has been the most surprising development of the first round so far. Plus, has Scottie Barnes been the best player in the series? And has Collin Murray-Boyles beaten out Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen to be the best big man in the series to date? Next, Sean fields a question about how these playoffs might alter the shape of the Raptors' offseason, whether RJ Barrett's play in the series has made Sean more comfortable with the idea of extending him this summer, and whether he'd rather see the Orlando Magic or Detroit Pistons in a hypothetical second round series. Lastly, Sean answers questions about whether the Raptors should be after a guard in the playoffs, Brandon Ingram's impact, names for Sean's household cooking tools and which playoff series around the league have been Sean's favourite before offering some final thoughts on why the NBA's proposed lottery reforms are good.

Are the Cleveland Cavaliers out of tactical moves to make in the face of the smothering Toronto Raptors defense? In Episode 2097, Sean Woodley and Danny Cunningham (Locked On Cavs) link up to talk about where both the Raptors and Cavs sit as their series shifts back to Cleveland for Game 5 on Wednesday. Off the top, Danny asks Sean about how the Raptors' have been able to take over the series with their defense, and whether we should expect a Brandon Ingram breakout at some point before the series comes to a close. Next, Sean asks Danny about the struggles of Evan Mobley and James Harden, whether the Cavs should lean more into their double-big lineups, Dean Wade's place in the starting five, what if anything Donovan Mitchell and James Harden can do to counter the Raptors' defensive gameplan on them, and how the Cavs plan to slow down an ascendant Scottie Barnes. Plus, how do they see the rest of this series playing out?

The Toronto Raptors won an ugly, beautiful Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers to tied their first round series 2-2 heading back to Cleveland for Game 5 on Wednesday. In Episode 2096, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob break down how the Raptors' grinded their way to the win despite a miserable shooting game as a team, discuss Darko Rajakovic proving to be a big time playoff coach, and much more from a thriller on Sunday. Off the top, they chat about the toughness the Raptors had on display in the win Sunday, Brandon Ingram's at times maddening but ultimately essential performance in the face of poor shooting, Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles putting the Cavs on the back foot, and more. Next, they talk about the adjustments the Raptors head coach has made to turn this series into one played on the Raptors' terms, and why his culture setting this year has been leading to this all along. Lastly, they run through The Good (Walter and Shead's defense, Scottie freaking Barnes), The Bad (the idea that this game wasn't good, national coverage of the Raptors) and The Hmm (is this a 50-50 series now?) to round it out.
