The Toronto Raptors are mired in their most dispiriting stretch of basketball all season, but is it cause for true despair? In Episode 2060, Sean Woodley and Joe Wolfond take stock of the Raptors situation both for the rest of the season and moving into the future and dig into the cases for both optimism and pessimism moving forward. Off the top, they chat about the reasons for feelings of doom and despair. Is this a team that's already hit its peak? And is their style of play ultimately too taxing for them to find a second wind between now and the end of the year? And looking longer term, does the lack of surefire prospects on the back end of the bench put the team's longer-term plans into question? Next, Sean and Joe discuss reasons to feel hopeful: Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles look like an awesome if unorthodox base from which to build, and the team's play style has them leaving all kinds of easy points on the board that they simply aren't cashing right now -- but if they ever do, look out! Plus, with all their picks in hand and the league's landscape perpetually in flux, there is some optionality as the Raptors look to make moves to improve this summer. Lastly, Sean and Joe each plant their flag on one side of the aisle or another. Who's feeling hopeless vs. hopeful?
