Episode 1169
In Episode 1165, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to preview Game 5 of the Toronto Raptors first round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers. Off the top, Sean and Vivek discuss Fred VanVleet, who is questionable to play on Monday, and whether the Raptors can win Game 5 if he's unavailable. Is there a chance the Raptors might be more equipped to survive against the Sixers without Fred than they would be against most other opponents? And can Pascal Siakam and Gary Trent Jr. repeat their on-ball efforts from the Game 4 win? Next, they talk about whether there are any more adjustments to be made by either coach in this series, or if the Raptors' altered coverages on James Harden, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey have more or less set the terms for the rest of the series, leaving things mostly up top execution as the determining factor. Lastly, the peer into their crystal balls and try to predict the outcome of Game 5, before taking a moment to talk about Scottie Barnes' Rookie of the Year win and why it was so well-deserved.
