Episode 1360
In Episode 1351, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 119-108 loss to the Washington Wizards on Thursday night despite another brilliant effort from Jakob Poeltl (23 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals on 8/9 and 7/7 from the free throw line). Off the top, Sean digs into why despite some promising overall numbers, the underlying data and eye test suggest the Raptors offense has fallen on some hard times. Do the Raptors have enough time to get their offense up to full steam by season's end? Or will they need to rely upon their vastly improved defense since the Poeltl trade to drive their success between now and the end of the year? Next, Sean discusses Nick Nurse's bizarre rotation decisions, specifically in the second quarter against the Wizards, and why it is imperative for the Raptors to find some staple lineups beyond their new starting group (VanVleet-Anunoby-Siakam-Barnes-Poeltl) and their small-ball former starters (Trent in for Poeltl). Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (O.G. and Poeltl's chemistry), the Bad (Toronto's transition defense) and the Hmm (Fred VanVleet's shooting woes) before rounding out the show.
