The Raptors Show

Blake Murphy and Matt Bonner break down the Raptors' 122-120 preseason loss vs. the Knicks as exhibition play continues in the leadup to the regular season. They discuss the defensive performance for the Raptors vs. players like Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns - what did Jakob Poeltl look like vs. the Knicks? They also get into RJ Barrett's offensive display, Scottie Barnes's midrange package, and the difficulty in assessing the bench unit with few minutes to judge before the season begins. Afterwards, Nate Duncan (23:00) stops by to chat with Blake on the Raptors defensive potential, how the addition of Kawhi Leonard will change Toronto on both sides of the ball, how both the cap and the team's current salary structure might help or hinder their ability to improve the roster via trade, and the biggest threats in an improved Eastern Conference.
