Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

Zulfi Sheikh and Duane Notice recap the Toronto Raptors' 129-99 win over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. After being held scoreless against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Scottie Barnes bounced back in a big way, as did the Raptors' defense. Life without Kawhi Leonard continues but it looked much smoother after some preparation.

The Toronto Raptors take on the Orlando Magic tonight in their first game since we learned Kawhi Leonard will be sidelined for a "period of weeks" as he nurses his left knee. In Episode 2216, Sean Woodley goes solo to field mailbag questions from you, the listeners, mostly about Kawhi's absence and how the Raptors can survive it. Off the top, Sean reiterates some of his feelings about the Leonard news and talks about why this is far from the end of the world, even though it might feel like it. Next, Sean fields questions about how the Raptors can fill in for the big wing production they would have gotten from Kawhi and got from Brandon Ingram last season. Plus, Sean digs into a question about how the Raptors stack up with other injury-riddled teams when it comes to their ability to survive without their star. Lastly, Sean answers questions about Fro Kawhi vs. Braids Kawhi, what we can expect from Ja'Kobe Walter in Leonard's absence, and which Raptor would be the best subject for a Nathan Fielder project.

Kawhi Leonard will reportedly miss a "period of weeks" due to swelling in his left knee. Is this a big problem for the Raptors? A minor inconvenience? Something in between? Sean Woodley goes live to talk it all out in what hopefully doesn't become a group therapy session, but if it does, well, that's fine too.
Plus, what does the Raptors' upcoming schedule look like as they prepare to navigate life without their star wing? Who has the most to gain in the coming weeks? And more!

Three games into the season, what can you make of the Toronto Raptors start to the year? In Episode 2214, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob chat about the things they've seen so far that have concerned, encouraged and confused them. Off the top, Sean digs into Jakob Poeltl's widely discussed slow start to the year and and Vivek laments Jamal Shead's inability to put ball in hole. Next, Sean sings the praises of young Allen Graves while Vivek talks about why he's so encouraged by the play of Ja'Kobe Walter. Lastly, Sean talks about why he's not quite ready to sound the alarm over Scottie Barnes' shot selection, while Vivek discusses his intrigue in how the Raptors will navigate games without Kawhi -- which is especially timely in light of the news that dropped just after this show was recorded!

The Toronto Raptors split weekend road games against the Washington Wizards and Minnesota Timberwolves, the latter of which featured probably the worst game we'll ever see Scottie Barnes play. In Episode 2113, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the 112-102 win over the Washington Wizards as well as the 117-94 loss to the Wolves without Kawhi Leonard, who missed Sunday's game with knee swelling. Off the top, Sean briefly touches upon Kawhi's absence for getting into Scottie's 0/12 disaster class on what will probably go down as the worst night of his career, and why it was disappointing to see it come in his first chance to run the show with Kawhi out of the lineup. Next, Sean talks about why the quality of the Raptors' defense continues to be the THE takeaway from the first week of the season, even with the ugly loss in Minnesota. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Ja'Kobe Walter), The Bad (Jakob Poeltl's no good start) and The Hmm (The Wizards and the quality of competition league-wide) from the first weekend of the regular season.
