Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

• Scottie Barnes' still finding his way; Raptors get CLUTCH in back-to-back preseason Ws w/ Vivek Jacob

  The Toronto Raptors won a pair of preseason thrillers over the Thanksgiving long weekend against the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards. In Episode 1960, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7) to talk about their takeaways from the weekend that was, including their thoughts on an improved but not quite fully optimized Scottie Barnes in his second preseason outing, Gradey Dick rounding into form, and the thrilling finishes in both games that featured some slick late-game play design by Darko Rajakovic. Off the top, they chat about another inefficient Barnes night as he shot just 3/11 from the field, and discuss why it was heartening to see him settle in and bring the heat in the second quarter on Sunday's game against the Wizards after a pretty lifeless opening frame. His integration into this version of the team's offense very much remains a work in progress, but it was nice to see some baby steps forward. Plus, they talk about a hot-shooting weekend from Gradey Dick, and just how good he needs to be on offense to make it justifiable to play him and his defensive deficiencies. Lastly, they run through The Good (Chucky Hepburn, clutch finishes), The Bad (Collin Murray-Boyles taking an injury, benching dudes in a home preseason game) and The Hmmm (Dick's offensive rebounding, the race for the 15th roster spot) to close out the show. Discord: https://discord.gg/qnmY8GahOpening Night Last Supper Books Watch Party RSVP Form: https://forms.gle/KwvH1KEWVXNeCjz69Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

• Brandon Ingram & RJ Barrett have FAST chemistry; can the rest of the Raptors starters settle in? w/ Joe Wolfond

  Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett's fast chemistry has been one of the stories of the Toronto Raptors preseason so far; can the rest of the starters begin to work in harmony, too? In Episode 1959, Sean Woodley is joined by long-time friend of the show Joe Wolfond for a wide-ranging conversation about the fast connection build between Ingram and Barrett, how Scottie Barnes can be folded into the fun, where Jakob Poeltl fits into the picture and much more! Off the top, they chat about why Barrett and Ingram seem to have gelled so quickly, the ways they can better incorporate Scottie Barnes into the mix, and whether Jakob Poeltl's lack of shooting might be an inhibitor to the Raptors finding success with the starting five. Plus, they get into whether the Raptors will be better on offense or defense this season, the team's hyper-aggressive defensive scheme and the trade-offs and upshots to it, and how the team can use their defense to fuel transition play. Lastly, they chat about some things that they're super excited for based on the early returns of the preseason, including Collin Murray-Boyles doing everything, and the way Toronto's youthful shadow core seems to be coming into form. Discord: https://discord.gg/k72xysmnSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!QuoSee why over 90,000 businesses trust Quo, formerly OpenPhone.

• Toronto Raptors roll DEEP, Brandon Ingram looks at home in preseason hammering of Kings

  The Toronto Raptors comfortably handled the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night to move to 1-1 in the NBA preseason, and the team's depth really shone through. In Episode 1958, Sean Woodley goes solo to react the 130-122 victory over the Kings in a game where both Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl sat out. Off the top, Sean gets into the way the Raptors' projected bench dudes -- Collin Murray-Boyles, Ja'Kobe Walter, Ochai Agbaji, Gradey Dick and Sandro Mamukelashvili all showed out in the victory, and hinted at the contributions they should be able to make when playing alongside Toronto's starters in staggered lineups once the regular season rolls around. Next, Sean talks about Brandon Ingram's 21-6-3 night featuring 5 threes on 7 tries, and why he looked much more comfortable and incorporated into the Raptors offense than he did on Monday night. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (0.5 decision making), The Bad (2-point scoring) and The Hmmm (Collin Murray-Boyles dishing six dimes) to round out the show. Discord: https://discord.gg/k72xysmnSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!QuoSee why over 90,000 businesses trust Quo, formerly OpenPhone.

• Scottie Barnes is gonna be fine, probably | How the Toronto Raptors can better optimize their franchise player

  Scottie Barnes scored just a single point in the Toronto Raptors preseason opener, but it is by no means time to panic. In Episode 1957, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the fan base's vitriolic response to Barnes' quiet preseason opener, and gets into all the reasons why it's extremely stupid to use one preseason game as confirmation that he stinks or isn't going to live up to his new max contract. Off the top, Sean gets into what didn't work in the first preseason game for him on offense, why it was very much a different brand of struggle from what we saw Barnes endure last season, and why it was pretty predictable for a guy adapting to a new role in a team with a new lead offensive option. Next, Sean looks back at Barnes' career and all the different iterations of his offensive package that we've seen that can be picked from to build out his new offensive role. Lastly, Sean get a little mad! This fan base loves to dump on dudes for not being a no-doubt leading man superstar and misses a whole lot of good and enjoyable stuff as a result! We can simply not do this, you know! GAH. Discord: https://discord.gg/k72xysmnSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!QuoSee why over 90,000 businesses trust Quo, formerly OpenPhone.

• Brandon Ingram & Mamu get BUCKETS in preseason debut | Biggest Takeaways from Raptors-Nuggets w/ Vivek Jacob

  The Toronto Raptors lost to the Denver Nuggets to open their preseason schedule in Vancouver on Monday night, but the real takeaway was how good Brandon Ingram looked! In Episode 1956, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob recap the Raptors' 112-108 preseason loss to Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Monday that featured clean games from Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett, some struggles for Scottie Barnes and the half court offense as a whole, and some really impressive work from the bench. Sean and Vivek dig into the process behind Ingram's 19 points on 6/12 shooting and discuss the struggles of the rest of the starters on offense, before diving into some thoughts on how to better involve Scottie Barnes in the offense. Next, they dive into some huge overreactions to the opener. Is Sando Mamukelashvili about to win Sixth Man of the Year? Is Gradey Dick's job under threat? And are the Raptors about to lead the NBA steals?! Move over OKC! Lastly, they run through The Good, The Bad and The Hmmmm from the first preseason game. Discord: https://discord.gg/k72xysmnSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!QuoSee why over 90,000 businesses trust Quo, formerly OpenPhone.
