Episode 1323
In Episode 1316, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 1-1 weekend against the New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers. Off the top, Sean digs into why the wide gap in the quality of the team's performances on Friday and Sunday illustrates the complexity of the decisions the front office needs to make before the NBA Trade Deadline. The loss to the Knicks was lifeless and disjointed, and pointed to it maybe being time to retool the roster. Meanwhile, the win over Portland showed off the formula that got the Raptors to 48 wins last season. Deciding what's more real, between the second half of 2021-22 and the first half of 2022-23, is the job of Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster right now, and it's not easy! Next, Sean looks at Scottie Barnes' excellent 22-9-4-3-2 effort against the Blazers, and examines how Barnes weaponzing the space other teams are granting him on offense is the key to unlocking a more aesthetically pleasing and more effective Raptors half court offense. Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (Gary Trent Jr. and Christian Koloko) the Bad (Sunday's wretched officiating crew) and the Hmm (Fred VanVleet's comments about his contract situation) from the weekend to round out the show!
